And, really, not all TSA workers are awesome. Many of them are just doing their jobs.

But I have had people I have had to complain about which sucks. I am happy to let the good or just competent people do their jobs.

I am not happy to have them take my belongings well away from me on the other side of a scanner and riffle through them while I am clearly telling them that *I* will take out anything electronic to be scanned.

It's just a mess.

I will calmly follow the rules. I will not have my things broken or stolen. And I really wish they'd try to make it as easy as possible too.

And, no, I don't want more cumulative radiation that isn't necessary. I think cancer rates are showing that, yes, the shit we do to our environment and bodies can take a terrible toll. I'd rather do less than more.

Jesse, the rings arrived today. THANK YOU! You rock.

Yay! I'm glad the postage worked out OK... I'm always excited to get stuff to people who will appreciate them...

Hivemind question: Does anyone own a high class rain gauge, or have enough experience with them that they would be able to make recommendations?

Like the Awesome Scarf you sent me the other day??!

That was much appreciated, as was the very cool hat I got from Suzi today!

I'm going to have one well dressed head!

Perkins, I did a double-take when I saw the First Class Mail (FCM) stamp on a package today. I blame you.

Yay!! Just like that.

Last year, my family decide to do a re-gifting Christmas, but I couldn't really participate, because I had gotten rid of most of the things I had that were decent, but I didn't use, in preparation for moving. So I'm excited to still have some stuff that other people would like and/or want.

Bwah! Clearly, my work here has paid off

Did I mention I spilled my tea all over the floor this morning? I think there's a theme to today. At least I cleaned the leaves out of the gutter so that I won't get the porch roof leaking when it starts raining tonight. I hope.

Clearly, my work here has paid off

First-class mail always makes me laugh now.

Dear sarameg: Don't touch the good Scotch.

Does anyone use Vonage, Ooma or one of the other VOIP services? Any thoughts?
