Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Because this is a small town, I'm almost guaranteed to know the individuals involved.

And people will want to talk about it. That sucks, too.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That's awful, Maria. I'm sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh Maria, that's awful.

In silly news, I was just scrolling through Linked In, after connecting with a former coworker, and there was someone on there that I remembered really fondly, but couldn't remember what her job was, so I clicked through and realized she was my friend from the bathroom! Our jobs didn't intersect at all, but I saw her in the bathroom all the time.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Maria, I'm so sorry. That's awful.

HA. No, not me. As irritating as these guys are, I hope I'd notice if they were banging the windows for help.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I was just at the library, and someone put a picture of David Bowie on the side of the CD shelves, with "1947-2016" underneath. Go library! Or go random person who stuck the picture up!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I can't decide if it would be fun or not to speculate about all of the things I'd do with the Powerball jackpot. (Note that I have never bought a lottery ticket.)

I'd pay off house loans for my family members. I'd buy a beach house somewhere. I'd figure out if there was any amount of money I could spend to meet Stephen Sondheim. I'd go to Broadway shows frequently, so I guess I'd need a place in New York.

I'd hire a personal chef and shopper. (And probably personal security.)

I'd take a long luxurious cruise around the world (paying for internet access onboard the whole time). I'd pay whatever amount of money was necessary to get out of a relationship with Comcast and get my internet from somewhere else.

I'd give some money to the cons I usually attend and to AO3. I'd fund the board forever. I'd probably pay someone money to develop the best fandom-centric social media site.

Charities: food banks, women's shelters, performing arts organizations, higher ed funding in Louisiana, cancer research, animal shelters.

Hilariously, my mother has decided she wouldn't want to win THAT much money, so is not buying a ticket. NB: I don't know that she's ever bought a lottery ticket.
