It looks like there's some shaping done in the torso, though.
It didn't look like it to me. Huh. Now I'm going to have to go to Nordstrom and take a look at one. And then roll my eyes a lot, again.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
While we are getting shopping opinions... I need a new vacuum. There was a tragic accident. I think I am swayed towards a bagless model. Anyone like or loathe theirs?

The American things I have serious trouble getting are fizzy drinks.
Come to San Francisco and I'll take you to Yum. They have 300 different fizzy drinks from all around the world. Emmett and I just went there over the weekend and loaded up on Bennett's Lemon Cola and Cheerwine and Hanks Cream Soda and Virgil's Root Beer and a ginger ale that promises to scald my mouth with its gingeriness.

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
I have some sort of thing called a jaguar bagless. I dig it fine, except you can see the thing filling up and it makes me look at Ruby and say, "Will you STOP SHEDDING?"
Also, cleaning it is a bit messy. the filter is just of the yuck.

American Indian population: 14
Asian population: 190
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander population: 1
Some other race population: 20

It's easy for me to convince myself that no one I know would kill me.
I'm sure some have had the urge, but as long as I stay on the good sides of ita and my buddy Mark I'm reasonably confident of having better than even odds if it comes to that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cass, I will try and remember when I get home to check mine -- I have a bagless, and it sucks in the good way, quite a bit. It made me vacuum more, because of the palpable difference -- not just in the carpet's looks, but the amount of dust in the air.

and it makes me look at Ruby and say, "Will you STOP SHEDDING?"Change the name, same old tune... I could make a new cat every time I vacuumed but who needs another puppycat?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
one of my clients was supposed to get me stuff today. I spoke with her at 4 and she told me some of it was ready. I told her to send it to me as it was ready to not wait to send it all at once. Now at 6:10, do you think I have ANY of it? of course not. WTH?!?! Apparently I will be working on it all weekend. BASTAGES!
Thank goodness the U doesn't work weekends. Or Fridays. As the thing I stayed late at work for didn't get done.
