We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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

I've found it really does a number on my drinking!

My metabolism has no idea what to do now on many fronts. But I can drink a lot without getting a hangover. And my tolerance has gone up too. But topamax was so long ago I can't remember how it affected me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Crap, stamps are going up again on Monday -- I should have never bought non-forever stamps!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Up to what? I think I still have some 39¢ stamps.

45 cents, maybe? I forget -- just not whatever's written on my Poe stamps that will last a year!

44 cents.

I have Forever stamps. I usually double up to mail a letter internationally, because it's always been less than twice the price. Should that still work with Forever stamps? Or maybe I should just save them.

My headache is not budging at all. I really want to be back asleep.

Chuck Daly has died. I didn't know he was that old.

Hivemind help: The light switch in my bedroom is broken. Like, I flipped it off and it didn't turn off. A bit of flipping back and forth made the light go off, but the switch is in the on position. And there was def. a pop when it went off. So question: Is this an immediate hazard? can I just leave the light off and it will be okay overnight? I would turn the breaker off, but it seems that all the power to the 2nd floor & the lights in the kitchen are all connected to the same breaker. I plan to get a new switch tomorrow, I just don't think I can cope tonight.

ETA: It's in the switch, I'm sure. I looked in the box and the electrical connections look fine.

If there is no smoke or sizzling in the switch it can probably wait a day. Not going off is a little more of a concern than not turning on though.

Base on your edit, it sounds like the switch is just worn out.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

So I made back the money it cost to get a table at the fleamarket, plus a little more, then I spent $8 on books for mac. The woman I sold stuff for made some money also. I think we sold about half the kid's clothes, but I only sold one of the like 12 things I had out of my clothes. The bike sold, but the v-smile, crutches, and stool did not. I think I am going to try to ebay some of the better kids' clothes and the v-smile games. not today though.
