Wells Fargo doing shady business? I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked!
Come to think of it, they probably snorted when they saw that email and though, "Tchyah. Get in line, sister."
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Yeah, WF were the ones who fucked up our mortgage.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
Happy Birthday Pix!
Happy Birthday Maria!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The girl is obsessed with musicals. So my evil plan to raise a daughter who wants to go to musicals with me is proceeding nicely. Unfortunately I forgot to create an evil plan for being able to afford to take her to all the musicals she wants to see.We saw a lot of High School theater when I was a child. Did the trick nicely.
Yeah, we’re only in sporadic contact mostly because he has two jobs and plays in several bands so our text conversations are always asynchronous and spread thin over time. Anyway, he and his first wife were living with her parents in Texas: brother working on getting sober, wife very much not. She was stepping out on him and actually killed the guy she was seeing by hitting him with a car. I am pretty sure I trauma dumped about it here, but that was years ago, now. So brother moved out but stayed friendly with her parents and didn’t want to file for divorce while she was on trial and all that.So... country music?
But I'm also fifty-two, and kind of fresh out of "little lady" energy--it's always been an awkward fit, on its best day. which probably peaked at the same time as, say Tears for Fears.Well, now there's coffee on the monitor...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Happy Pix Day!
So... country music?
Should be, probably. The fiance lived in Texas with her first husband, too, but I have restrained myself from making "All My Exes Live in Texas" references

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Funny song.(Well, if you're not them.) So far, the extra vulnerability I sent across the miles in e-mail that I sweated over yesterday? Kind of got me nothing.(I suppose it doesn't hurt to think of why I say what I say in a craft class, and there is the part where it can take time to send a response that in theory can be instant. And I wasn't even sure what I wanted, anyway, exactly, but sometimes, men in particular can make it really easy to tell I didn't get what I was looking for by just not doing shit.) Not that he is cute enough(or available) that I would want to sit around all "What do you think he meant by that?" because he is one of those weird guys that writes from a family e-mail account. Which is kind of a long-winded way of saying that all of those people that get on TV saying stuff like "The two sides just never TALK anymore, never find common ground or shared purpose," and Brene Brown "Your vulnerability is your *superpower* and not weak at all--well, I guess it made him disappear, so half-credit?-- well, they can bite me really hard.

The status is NOT quo.
I just skimmed about 100 messages. Thanks for the birthday wishes! Busy as heck over here, but things are mostly good.
