I’m old enough to smell toast

In our day we had to walk seventeen miles down the beach to get into the deep end of the ocean

it was about 400 in fees and travel down there to fight it was 500 a day unless i slept in my car or knew someone.

Leslie’s auntie’s sister’s daughter was very clear

While I agree those services would help make a decision, I’d think climate (and where they became homeless, and where they have family) are far bigger factors.

I’ve only been transitionally homeless though, my experience and assumptions are probably very different than someone who is or has been homeless for a while.

I have like 3 extras I’m not going to use in the next five years. You have a post office box I could mail a couple to?

Congratulations! That’s a great feeling.

When I was giving my dad the “you need a cane” talk, I realized most of the reasons applied to me too and so I went out and got a cane before he did. It gave me time to put “fancy looking canes” in the budget and I kind of like walking around with the squid handle one, you know?

Our beautiful one is the evil one, not the goober

But this time he’s in PAWG form. Remember PAWGs? They’re back!

I mean he has had powerbottombadil at Hotmail dot com for ages

All that remains of that age are geese and mimes

I thought he took a bath for the first time in decades after tripping off a bridge

I had a speeding ticket I couldn’t talk my way out of, what got dismissed because it was for 2 over the speed limit. Also dismissed tickets for not having insurance (apparently the card the insurance company sends you is not proof of insurance in Texas, at least according to this shitass I dealt with).

Even though the tickets were dismissed, I still had to pay court fees. Which were for twice what the tickets were.

Hence the saying, you can beat the charge but you can’t beat the ride.

Dammit they’re onto me. Time for a new account!

I think the story is more about the damn skeezy cop(s?) than their specific kinks tho

I mean, I’m comfortable considering the folk you’re citing outliers. They may all be outlying the same creepy way, but they’re not part of our distribution curve dammit

I gotta steal part of that name for my next Gloomhaven character

The 5.8% who lack a sewage system are probably who we’re thinking of. Like I know a wastewater treatment plant that serves about 300,000 people. Part of their system is a shit drying field (the last step of extracting water from shit/shit from water, after they’ve done everything else that they can, is drying and then removing the dried shit. They’ve got a few fields for that). It’s not that different in abstract to me from pipes connected to pit toilets, but the wastewater treatment plant gets water out of their shit before the shit hits the pit. They send fancy shit to their shit fields I guess.

Then again I could be misreading. It’s late and I got 30 miles in on the bike today.
