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

Hahhha! I fly first class all the time. I am not rich (though I am certainly not poor either). But other than with frequent flier miles, I've never PAID for first class...

meara is me. I get upgraded 90-95% of the time domestically, and I've been upgraded 2 out of my last 4 flights to Europe because coach was oversold. Delta doesn't do complimentary upgrades internationally, but first moves its frequent fliers up to Business/First (before anyone else) if Economy is oversold.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

OK, if works pays for it, it doesn't count. Although I am still jealous.

Maria, I FUBARed myself good in the 2000's, too, so I am still rebuilding. So is D, thanks to wife the first. But maybe there is something more I can do.

But I'mma pull a Scarlett O'Hara, because tonight is for books, TV and perhaps a glittery self mani/pedi.

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

Tim found a YouTube video of my downstairs neighbor, Edna:

People in the hood dress as her for Halloween. She planted plastic flowers in my succulent and roses garden.

No worries. You know where to find me. I just hate that people are paying for past mistakes when they may not legally be required to. (And D's issues don't affect you in the slightest, unless you have shared debt.)

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

Is Ruth's Chris high end steak? Isn't high end steak steak I haven't head of? Bought by people who go to Singapore for the weekend not even to run up FF points?

Just listening to Patton Oswalt tear shit up.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ruth's Chris may not be 1%er steak, but it's at least an order of magnitude above Sizzler. So it depends on your definition of high end, I'd say.

It's still a chain, but a fairly respected one. You wouldn't go there expecting creativity, just a really good, repeatable experience.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm using my new shredder today and I found out the hard way that the release bar doesn't let the bin slide out -- it flaps open the bottom. All over the floor.

Ah well, at least I know how it works NOW.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee. There's little shreddies all over my entry floor because I decided that junk mail shouldn't even cross my threshhold and made the shredder live there. Which works, only I don't see it and think about it as often, and so I shred stuff without really checking to see if the bin is full.

It was.

I need to sweep it up, but it's in the invisible portion of the entry, where I can't see any dirt.

In me news, I spent the rest of my gift card on Orly Flash Dry drops, a dollar clearance bottle of nail polish (10 Moonlight? Never heard of 10. It's a puttyish taupey neutral, but I put Sinful Glass Pink over it for the glass fleck sparklies.) and cuticle oil. I was looking for jojoba oil and still couldn't find it, but it's the second ingredient in this, and all the ingredients are oils of, you know, plants. Dunno.
