I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

We really don't need any more spoiled, sheltered children in Brooklyn, Allyson.

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

tommy, I'm totally not that person, except things that mention migraines crack me up--sling it my way, will you?

Snail-mail? Or else I could just scan it and email it to you....

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

bourbon bacon popcorn.

WHY DID I NOT KNOW THIS EXISTED?

AND THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW!!!

My joy is so great that only ASSCAPS can express it.

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

We really don't need any more spoiled, sheltered children in Brooklyn, Allyson.

I'd be happy to take yours and toss them into a migrant farmer camp in the middle of August.

Because books.

Then it's SURVIVOR: BROOKLYN SSSS(spoiled suburban sheltered shithead)

Maybe Detroit?

Or Syracuse has some seriously sketchy neighborhoods. Then we could watch them dig their way out of the snow before getting offed.

Coding and Sleeping

I had to drop off Leif yesterday. The school bus had a substitute driver and it rumbled right past the bus stop. A massive line of pickup trucks, SUVs, and minivans with my Civic hatchback in the middle. The kids are already getting big enough that disembarking from the Civic (2-door) is not a quick or elegant process. Next car will definitely be a 4-door, Em is going to be outgrowing the backseat before long too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

NY trains smelt fine, as I recall, but the stations could be dodgy. Urine.

Indeed.

I had some really good bacon popcorn caramel situation last year -- like Cracker Jacks with extra bacon. Mmmm.

Try our neighborhood Allyson. Precious Prince and Princess don't get dropped off at the local high school in an SUV. They drive their own SUV. Or Mercedes. Working class kids do ride the bus, because Mommy and Daddy are to busy working to drive them. Middle school princes and princesses get dropped off in parents cars.

Oh and ita. I'd totally call him on his personal cell to get the info for the meetings.

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

I could just scan it and email it to you....

Could you? To my profile address?

New Guy is checking email on his day off! Excellent. Turns out there was a buttload of stuff I needed to have to hand for the 11:00, but now I have it.

Thankfully unnecessary. And I'm trying to pretend personal cell info doesn't exist, even though they all have mine by now. I still don't answer at work. I believe, in general, work cells should be answered during work hours.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

On the train, OTOH, there's often a urine smell. And occasionally a very bad poo-poo smell.

I seem to remember the Purple line being especially bad for this. I rarely notice an issue with the Green or Pink, which is what I take these days.
