Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

3 bags of leaves. Heavy, mulchy leaves. I couldn't carry them, so put them on the trunk of my car and drove them around back.

Woke up at 5 this morning. Unneccessary! But I had all 3 cats on the bed at one point, and even Devi curled up against me. She hasn't done that in ages. It is interesting how the dynamic changes, even though MK was such a low-key, low-threat cat. He almost always came in to sleep on the bed, and Devi wouldn't when he was up there. Loki and Pumpkin have such a good time together (though I don't appreciate using my bed as a wrestling ring in the middle of the night,) it seems to have actually made Devi less aggressive.

Anyway...I should do something else productive (I lay in bed reading for most of the morning,) but eh.

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

OB apologises. One of the few times I wish I had a normal name. It wouldn't be the same if I lied.

Erin, when the flurry of activity from my closet culling sale has settled down a bit, I will look at your font choices! (Not quite 30 minutes since the sale went live, almost half the items claimed.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

what is OB apologizing for?

Compassionately intolerant

That OB advert just might be the most incredible thing I have seen in the last decade. Seriously? Who thought of that? Genius!

I did notice the fine print saying that the message was meant for Canadian viewers. I wonder if that means USians are out of luck.

You missed the missing OB foofurrah? OMG. They were off the shelves with no explanations for months. I didn't ever read an explanation, but I was so glad they were back I wasn't asking any questions.

Every store I asked in *expected* them in, as in--no one was talking about a discontinuation, and the spaces remained on the shelves for them, but I couldn't find them anywhere near where I work or live. Motherfuckers. I did have a big stockpile, so I only had to venture offbrand for a little while, but I'm keeping stocked up from now.

I think the apology is definitely a post-Old Spice Guy world.

My sister just harassed me for missing two days calling home. Except--I only missed one. Unless I'm taking shopping orders, I call home every *two* days. She sighed and said it felt like everyday. That's so...nice.

I don't use OB, so I wouldn't have paid much attention to the fact that it was off the shelves.

I prefer Instead Softcups myself.

It was all over here for a while. I think I was the first person to ask on Jezebel, in fact. Panicked the hell out of me. I am very brand loyal. It's been a long time now.

I've tried what you use, and it was just too much bother for me.

That is awesome, even though I only watched half of it--I was too busy wondering what they were sorry for and if there was a real explanation anywhere! Even though I don't use them, I remember the furor, here.
