'Conversations with Dead People'


Natter 37: Oddly Enough, We've Had This Conversation Before.  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

tommyrot! USPS website says they attempted to deliver the package at 11:47, so at least it's in your town.

Oh yeah. Stupid wanker mail carrier didn't ring the doorbell!

But if I can borrow the car, I'm going to go to the Evanston post office and pick it up today.

So, a qualified 'Yay!'

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

You can still get Red Sudafed if you ask for it -- at least in MA, it's now kept behind the counter in the pharmacy section. Because, you know, it could potentially be used for meth production. SIGH

Sounds like an awesome trip, sarameg.

Both red and blue sudafed are still available, but you have to ask for it here too now. Red sudafed gets me perilously close to nosebleed territory.

Trip would have been a real perfect vacation had I not been sick. I felt out of it quite a bit. At least I was able to rally for the wedding and the family thing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The basic concept? The Creator is an utter dumbass.

I'd like to add "human knees" and "the mating habits of penguins" to that list.

I mean, if postmodernists truly believed everything, including postmodernism, was relative, they'd be a lot easier to deal with.

Bwah! So true.

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

Mildly spoilery article about the next Gilmore Girls season.

The guy who plays Logan is 28. He wasn't even young when he was a Young American!

Does anyone here put premium in their car? If not, but it's one of those cars that says you should -- why not?

I think most or all cars built in the last 12 or so years that specify premium can safely handle regular. There was an article somewhere yesterday that talked about the declining sales of premium gas as a result of higher gas prices - lemme see if I can find it.

My '59 Lincoln requires premium, and the engine could be severely damaged if I used regular.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I do. That's what the manual says to do, and I figure I invested too much in the car not to.

Drivers tire of premium gas prices

A different article: High Gas Prices Have Some Drivers Switching From Premium to Unleaded

Huh. They interview a mechanic that says substituting regular unleaded for premium is bad - that's a minority opinion I think.

My car runs noticably better on the higher grade gasolines. Usually I go with the mid-grade, but never the regular.
