I did about 6 loads of laundry in hot water, Mona has been bathed, the floors have been vacuumed. Got Advantage and a hot spot lotion for Mona, who seems to be much more comfy. I love clean sheets, but hate having to make up the bed.
Occasionally I'm callous and strange.

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

UPS has a service called "My Choice"
It's new (in the past month, maybe?). When I heard about it I created an account because I was curious, and deleted it an hour later after I'd looked at the options.
It's ridiculous. I hate them anyway, granted, but I did look. In order to use any of the "services" the free version offers, you have to make a request before the first delivery attempt. So the onus is on you, and I think that's bullshit. If they try to deliver to you even once, you are stuck in the same bureaucratic swamp. And I don't see anything that assures me that signing up will spare me their "the driver can still decide to ignore your requests no matter what you say" excuses.
Because I'm cynical, I imagine the version you actually pay for will get better customer service. But it's something like $50/year if I remember correctly. So I would rather just encourage companies to ship via FedEx or USPS.

Jilli, I was in a BevMo today, skimming through the minibottles section, and I lit upon Absente. Is it any good?
Absente is pretty good. It's not the ZOMG wonderful stuff, but good. Miles better than Le Tourment Vert or Hills; avoid those two.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So how do you recommend I drink the Absente, oh, mannered Lady?

Oh, that is amazing. I'm so proud of them. I hope she felt the weight of that silence.

So how is Grimm doing ratings/having-a-future wise? Hubby has become enamored of the show, and I've caught up with it online. It doesn't suck.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thank you! I imagine my family will be clearing them out. Also, ooh! Salted Caramel??? Yum.

Not Jesse. but I think I just added a W-S stop to my to-do list this morning.
