You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Eh, my brother took my suitcase to a drive thru, do it yourself car wash to clean it & I had taken all the presents out already, so just a lot of laundry on hot.

My SIL was the most annoyed with brother's lack of urgency when she was yelling for help. But seems over it now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, Sara.

Did the embed I posted here work, Jesse?

Yep! It will be up in 15 minutes.

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

Jamaican Opposition Leader Comes Out For Gay Rights

In a “historic” advancement for LGBT equality in Jamaica, People’s National Party leader Portia Simpson-Miller “has come out for LGBT rights during an election debate,” insisting that “no one should be discriminated against because of their sexual orientation.” The leader — who is trailing the ruling Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) ahead of the Dec. 29 election — said she would consider appointing gays to her Cabinet and reviewing “the anti-gay buggery law.” Jamaica is widely considered to be one of the most homophobic countries in the world, where gays and lesbians face rampant mob violence.

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

I called home during that debate, and my father lambasted me for not watching it live (although I was standing in the supermarket buying *them* stuff at the time), and my mother reluctantly admitted she'd rather watch it than catch up with me. But if Portia is going to take that stance, I don't care if my parents brush me off. This is much more important. My sister must be over the moon.

I don't know if she can win again, though. With that policy.

Fuck, I just remembered I have a how-to to hand in to someone, and I don't have all the source information for it, which is why it's so damned late. They're going to be so disappointed in me when they get it...

Incredible In-Car Video of Japan Earthquake and Tsunami

Japanese delivery driver Yu Muroga was working on the day of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, and his onboard video camera caught the earthquake on video. Not realizing the tsunami danger, Muroga continued about his deliveries until one hour later, when he and fellow motorists were engulfed in the massive tsunami surge. The camera kept recording even after Muroga escaped, until the car was crushed about 4 minutes into the surge.

Wow.

Wow, that's great.

I wish there were some way for me to contact the person who keeps giving my email address to websites. But I can't! Because I don't know what his (hers? Jimmie, apparently) is supposed to be.

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

My mental well-being requires a lit-up Christmas tree to stave off all the deep winter darkness

I have discovered this year that I'm the same way. It's a pity I've discovered this because we agreed not to put up a tree, due to the bundles of energy and chaos that are the babycats. I've been visiting other people's trees.
