I worked at TJs way back when Joe Coulombe still owned it. It was a great job. Fingers crossed for CJ
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.

Compassionately intolerant
A good friend of mine works at TJs and it is pretty much the happiest he has ever been in his working life...which is saying something.
Honestly, every time I see him, he literally says, "Oh. I have SO drunk the kool-aid." And then, he talks about all the perks he loves so much. Every. Time.

Sleep Fight Club
A couple of summers ago we were on vacation and mr. flea (flailingly and not very hard and obviously not on purpose) punched me in the face while we were both asleep, because he was having a fistfight in his dream. Sleep Fight Club is real, people! I had a bruise!

Once, Tim woke up in the middle of the night, and my hand was resting on his throat, with my fingers curved as if I were gripping his throat. The only thing missing, he said, was actual pressure.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I once woke up as I was settling into a defensive crouch in the middle of my bed. I'm fairly certain I had been supine in the previous moment. I wish I had memory of what must have been a kick-ass move to get from one position to the other.

Kalshane, congratulations!!!

Our wings are not tired.
About time, Kalshane! Delighted to hear your good news.
Oh ND, I am sorry you have to deal with this. I have a deep fear that I will lose all 3 of my siblings when I lose my mom. They give me every reason to believe they will treat my step-dad horribly and it won't end well.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Thank you! It was as spur of the moment as these things can be outside of Vegas. I asked her a couple weeks ago what she wanted to do celebrate our 10th anniversary and she half-jokingly said "We could get married." I don't think she was actually expecting me to say. "Okay."
Unfortunately we couldn't do it on our actual anniversary (which is Friday) because they were already booked solid, but today was close enough.
Well, it was a nice idea. And since I don't think anyone's ever actually moved to Canada (or anywhere else, most likely) because of an election, I doubt many people would seriously consider it.
One of my (very conservative) co-workers has a gay, liberal twin brother that moved to New Zealand after W was re-elected. He thinks of it as a joke but I told him I'm actually impressed with his brother's sticking to his convictions.
