Didn't know Walmart had that available. Sam's Club, sure, they have everything.

Hot running water! It's amazing! We haven't had hot running water since freaking May!

That is horrifying.

Which one, worry?

Puck, how on Earth did it take that long? That is beyond any definition of reasonable.

My mother refused to call the landlord on account of the repairs potentially costing money. Never mind it was likely to be his responsibility, and as it turned out eventually, it was. When it finally got too cold to pretend it doesn't matter so much, she caved and called and we got a new water heater installed within two weeks. Cost us nothing.
As to why I didn't call myself, the landlord insists on the main tenant calling about such stuff and that I am not.

On topic: food! Work Christmas dinner is amazing!

Just took my little boy to meet Santa for the first time. He was in a really crap little grotto in the town square. £1 to get in, a proper low rent Santa. I was a little disappointed he didn't smell of stale booze. He asked my son if he's been a good boy and he said "No". At least he's honest!

Went to Walmart and got laid for the 1st time in 10 days. Oh my. Then I went inside and bought a pecan pie. Fixing to try Wendy's new maple bacon chicken sandwich with some chicken nuggets. Nice day so far.

So... many,... questions....

Speaking of, didn't your sister eat a bunch of your pies or cakes or something that you bought special for yourself earlier this year? Not that I'm trying to stir up trouble.

Going to be published in the April edition of a falconry magazine writing about red kites. Blimey!

That look on the cashier’s face when all you put on the counter is two tubs of sour cream and a bottle of KY and then you feel compelled to say, “They aren’t related.”

Which is also the opening line to a southern wedding. Mostly.

Going on a date on Friday! Feeling very positive - it's a huge step in terms of recovery that I'm ready to contemplate this!

Mixing up which of those is which feels like it could be an awful mistake.

I mean one CAN always BECOME a bearded blacksmith...he just needs a little coaching.

He's probably safe for the first date.

Second date can be "By the way, I know you like teaching, but I really think you need a change in career....."

To give some context this is someone I've known for absolutely years. I'm not sure I could have made the leap with a stranger to be honest. There's always been "something there" for want of a better phrase, but timing and one thing and another have gotten in the way previously. Feels good

Hmmm we'll let it happen then but if he keeps pigeons I fear it is doomed.

Also we expect live updates so we can all provide advice during the date!!

Half way through - "Still showing no signs of interest in smithing. I fear it is doomed."

This is where we need to check other people's twitter feed:

"Poor girl at next table having awful first date. Dude looks NOTHING like a blacksmith ..."

Smithing and Falconry....isn't this part of the premise to the film LADYHAWKE?
