Ugh. Guys, please remind me to never ever talk about my emotional state with my parents? It always goes badly.
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
I had a CapOne credit card for almost 15 years but after a series of unpleasant interactions (summarily doubled my interest rate, insisted that the only personal loan available to me was for three times the amount I had requested, outright refused to allow me to speak with anyone other than the first-level customer service rep), I decided I was spending way too much time arguing with an entity that was supposed to be a service provider. In response to my statement that I was going to cancel my account because of the issues, I was essentially told not to let the metaphorical door hit me. I later read an article that suggested that a change in business strategy had CapOne's management seeking out customers who maintained high balances over a long period of time - which is the opposite of me. This all happened several years ago and the company may have changed its approach (it keeps sending me applications inviting me to come back) but I'd rather not deal with that company again.
On related note, many of you are referencing PNC - what does that stand for?

Looks like I will be hitting urgent care in the morning. Despite the new drugs, my shoulder will not quit spasming. Neither heat nor ice make a difference. Stabbity, stab, stab.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
PNC Bank. According to Wikipedia,
In 1982, Pittsburgh National Corporation and Provident National Corporation merged into a new entity named PNC Financial Corporation.

I need your collective help. Topic: showerheads
I replaced the shower head on the shower today, but the shower head was dripping water even after it was turned off.
So I took the showerhead off and I noticed the pipe coming out of the water has a slow drip. Is it normal for this pipe to have a slow leak?
How much plumbing trouble am I potentially in?

It's not normal for that pipe to have a slow leak. Is it a separate shower or shower with a tub?
eta: My first thought is that it's in the hot/cold valves, which could be as little as the minimum plumber charge, to replace a seal.

Lokes just spent 3.5 hrs on the deck as Karen and I ate and drank and talked a lot. Why does he think he need to go back out there? Very nice evening. I adore Karen. She's good people.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I was at a bookstore yesterday and two women picked up her book (which I hadn't noticed on the table yet)! I told them it was awesome and they should buy it because it was awesome and so was the author.
I think they did.
Then I walked around looking for all of the books where I knew-ish the authors. It's a fun Buffista bookstore game.
