Are you me, too? If I have a friend who is having financial difficulty, the solution is just to get the check for them. Like, yes, that comes from a position of great privilege, but... well, let it do something nice for once, you know? I want to see the person, and I don’t want to add to their stress by causing them…

UGH. Yup. Shortly before I quit, there was a 60-something year old mother in our store with her mother. Who had defecated on herself. At that age, more than likely, it’s a health situation. I’ve often wondered if she tried to get her daughter to take her to the bathroom or if she was so out of it she didn’t really…

Capital one used to do that! It was nice.

From my time in the retail mines, which was at Michael’s and definitely still had shit on the floor but ours was linoleum... She just wanted to punish you for not giving her what she wanted and for telling her that rules applied. :/ Women would lock their elderly fathers in their car to shop for stickers and be pissed…

Right? The only reason I got one was a random lucky refresh after I had pretty much given up. That Armani set looked killer, I’m sorry you weren’t able to get it.

What. A. Crazy. Person. My god. That wasn’t “medical emergency,” it was pure fuckery.

I actually managed to get one of the 1K rewards but the forums were just full of mad people. I get why. It was a hot mess from the start. But like... As always, you know?

Exactly. I was really interested by the brain scans that they had done, and I hope that in some way, we end up with a cure from being able to study and work with non-offenders.

I think I read one of the articles you’re talking about. One of the guys interviewed was really young. It was just heartbreaking to see someone struggling like that and to know what failure would mean, for his victim, for him.

Yaaaasssss that would be so amazing.

That is seriously amazing.

She’s been 36ish for as long as I have been aware of her...

I was singing that today while going to my car. Preeeeeeeettttyy sure that my neighbors think I’m crazy. I hit “burn off my ski-in taaaaaaaags” just as I was getting into the car.

Related: who here has good recommendations for the greater Seattle area? I’ve been to Ladywell’s a few times and enjoyed it but the sugar scrub wasn’t scrubby enough. :) I’d like to try a Korean style day spa but when I look for them, all I seem to find are nail salons.

Me, yes, very much.

Specifically? Half the goddamn menu. I got crazy baked after volunteering at a kids event today and needed to decompress/binge.

You are killing me! I just ordered Indian food!

That is fantastic. Give him a big squeeze!

Totally. Friends who are survivors have NOTHING nice to say about Komen - they’ve actually made a lot of things worse because if you’re trying to work with them to get services or assistance, you have so many hoops to jump through that you end up missing out on other help... and then they’ll back out at the last…

You know, I agree. The only thing I will grant is that the recipe is impressively moist. But people love them! Ditto salted caramel cheesecake. I don’t get it. Why would you do such a terrible thing to caramel in the first place, and then feel the need to bring poor, delicious cheesecake into the mix? Awful. And yet…
