I'd send them to the money lady, Jesse.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Jesse, you up for keeping the records of charitable donations? If so, send me your addie, and I'll make a copy for me in case the IRS starts questioning me and all of my glorious charity work.

Allyson: My Friend's Place is the actual name of the organization, right? Because my mind keeps processing it as a protecting-the-innocent, not-her-real-name placeholder thing.

It's the actual name, Robert. www.myfriendsplace.org
It is designed to take the stigma out of homelessness. When one is applying for a job, or talking to other random people, they can say, "I'm staying at my friend's place." And that's easier than saying, "I'm staying at the shelter."

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
t forehead slap! I knew that was the actual name, but I didn't realize why. What a clever idea!

Anyone know if WX is ever coming back? DOwn for 2 weeks now, this blows.
I miss TT TV- The Drool topic (a highlight of last summer for me), Ovies and Elvis and Lauri and Lev and HPG and Orcaman, etc.

They have a fallout shelter where the status is discussed, but it's full of noise, and there are no actual answers to why it's been down for weeks. Or when it's coming up, or where the $11K went.

Crap.
Thanks.

Ann, that's a ferret.
WX just posted in the fallout shelter that the $11K went for the new server that's causing the trouble. But nothing on when it'll be back full time.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
WX has been up on occasion. I was able to get in the other day. Not today, though.
