Nice, shrift!

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

Congrats, shrift!! Do... you have to tell your family? Just sayin'!

Yay, shrift! I guess that means you're succeeding in raising your visibility?
Oh, BTW--there were apparently profuse apologies in the restaurant on Monday by the skeevy-guy-with-a-hat. He got talked to by both owners (although I didn't mention it to my brother until he brought it up).
ION, the chicken soup and the fries are both excellent.

Congratulations, shrift! I'm glad they recognize the jewel in their midst.
This is not going to help my family reputation as Aunt Moneybags.
Where is it written that you have to tell them?

Wait, I didn't think I skipped or skimmed Natter recently... what happened Monday in your bro's restaurant?

So sorry about Byron, pix and ND.
Congrats, shrift! It's a nice feeling when that happens.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have never heard of Spirit Day. No clue what it's about, or when it was.
Last year, when people were wearing purple to show support for LGBTQ youth and against bullying.
Congrats, shrift!

Oh, it wasn't in Natter. I met up with shrift & a couple of other Chicago friends at the restaurant, and we got weirdly hit on by a drunk guy who also behaved as though he was restaurant staff. I complained to my brother's co-owner, who was working that night.
Turns out it was a restaurant employee who came in on his day off because they were having a special function with a local brewery. And got pretty drunk.
Words to the wise: do not get drunk in the workplace. In case any of you needed to know that.
I suspect this is a special danger for folks who work in the hospitality industries...

Inexplicably, the Freecycle moderator has failed to put up my "TAKEN" posts, so I'm still getting impassioned pleas for a small brown ottoman and some sheet protectors. I had no idea the fervor they could induce. Many posts have come and gone since I have twice posted them.
Also, an eBay vendor accidentally sent my mother's present to Austria and a small china owl to me.
