I have Thursday and Friday off next week, and for the first time ever, we're not traveling for Thanksgiving.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

I hate travelling on T-Day, but maybe it's because I'll be condemned to the most terrible long drive with numerous traffic jams between here and NJ, or else hideous air travel fuckups.
Seriously, Dana -- you don't want me to start going on about the stupidity of the furor over OMG911WTCNYC including Giulani popping up to talk about how it's unprecedented and a terrible security risk. Because I have to physically stop myself from going to NY and literally start punching him, and all the other talking heads.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Right. I have next Thursday off. I really need to get used to not being salaried. On the whole, I don't like it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
OH, I'll pay you Theo.
I am undecided on T-day. The parentals are coming this week, so they won't be here on the day. We have invites to 2 places, the closer will be all adults. I am unclear if either place will be watching football. I am kinda inclined to just stay home, but mac will be bored with that also. It is really a bother that all of the families that would be good to invite over for a day I host and therefore get what I want have cat allergy issues. I guess I should find out what time the various invites are planning to eat and see when the game is.

Oh, I finally remembered a topic I keep meaning to bring up.
How many of you use the disposable tissue toilet-seat covers in public bathrooms? They just seem like a big waste of time, effort, and tissue to me.

I agree. If the seat is really disgusting, I'll pick another stall. If it's just a few droplets, I'll wipe it off with TP before I sit down.

I tend to hover, based on the cleanliness of the bathroom. At Nordstrom, I sit. At the rugby bar, I hover. Either way, no toilet seat cover. If it's dirty enough that I want a cover, I won't put my ass down.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If I take my brain out and steep it in a vat of coffee, can someone put it back in for me?
