You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Barb, I don't remember you telling us that your father died. (Not that you are/were obligated to, but I feel like a heel for not remembering it.)
So she wants Maria to take her to the casino so she can, get this, scatter some of his ashes on their favorite machine.
...Wow. Just, wow.

“Not dead yet!”
Barb, I don't remember you telling us that your father died. (Not that you are/were obligated to, but I feel like a heel for not remembering it.)
I hadn't said anything about it because, as I told Vortex and Maria on Friday, I did my grieving for him a long, long time ago. So please, don't feel bad. I only said anything now because, you know, context.
And yes, Wow.

There were a few callers today I just wish I could have hung up. One guy I almost did because he was on the verge of using profanity. He couldn't seem to understand that we couldn't do what he wanted because we had no authority. I gave him the number of someone who could help. He didn't want to hear it because he'd been given our number and the person said we could solve his problem so we had better.
Finally he took the number only to call back and angrily state I'd given him a non working number. He read it back transposing two numbers -- 555-525-0000 instead of 555-552-0000. It took me three times to get him to hear what I was saying and then he hung up.
Then there was the lady who called and had to spell a name because she couldn't pronounce either the first or last name. She then spelled out Hutchinson. I said the name Hutchinson and the best she could say back to me was Hutches.

Remember a few weeks ago, when I was freaking out about writing a fiction piece? It was accepted by Steampunk Tales! Wheeee!
Congratulations! I hope you'll give us a heads up when it's available.

But wait until after they get arrested by casino security. You don't want to miss the punchline.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Wow, Jilli, go you!
Wow, Barb. That's a totally different wow from Jilli's. I shall cheerfully sit next to you in the Special Hell.
