Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

You know, there's a REASON I stick to places with transportation options.

I love my job and where I live. There should be public transportation. Still, I shouldn't be out of a car due to a $50 part. I mean, for me that's really the incredible bottom line.

I don't like vampires, I'm gonna take a stand and say they're not good.-Xander

Ah crap I've got to go to work.

Be back at 5ish

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Thanks smonster. He is asleep finally.

In other child news, K-Bug is driving her way back up from New Mexico. She is approaching Las Vegas, I believe.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm glad CJ is home safely--those poor horses

Waves weakly at the board.

You know what's not fun? Waking up about 2:30 in the morning with just horrible horrible OMG I want to die food poisoning (and I say this as someone who thought chemo wasn't that bad)

I've managed not to throw the last glass of water though, so far, so I think I may nap and then see if I am up to going to safeway for Gatorade

Art Crawl!!!

I got an email from ebay: it's my 11th anniversary as an ebay user.

Isn't that weird?

I wonder how many years as an Amazon.com user.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

You certainly shouldn't, Allyson! It's ridiculous. I think taking it to the media is the next step. Twitter, HuffPo, some local YV station's consumer segment.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love my job and where I live. There should be public transportation. Still, I shouldn't be out of a car due to a $50 part. I mean, for me that's really the incredible bottom line.

Luckily, you probably aren't at much risk of being trapped somewhere between home and work with a broken leg?

But yes, twitter.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Ugh, Perkins, that sounds miserable. Hope you start feeling better soon!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Allyson, yep. Go to twitter. I sent a follow up request to E & L at noon, and I've yet to hear anything. We'll let them keep working in the background while you make a little hay.

@chevrolet, @GMCustomerSVC, @JoelEwanick (GM's Chief Marketing Officer). The Auto Insiders blog on Detroitnews.com is also a good way to get the message out.

Feel better, Perkins.

I got the last available room at Deetjen’s. My vacation is all booked.
