Yo dog, the cats don't care about your tubgoat. In fact, they'll see your tubgoat, and raise you one.

And now for something completely different.

Remember back in 2012 I bought a second hand couch for under 100.00 and said it would do for two years while we set up our lives for a new couch? No? Oh well it happened.

L has finally stopped eating pillows and cushions, and Kiddo is less prone to breaking things, so the new sofa and love seat with built in recliners and an awesome table/ottoman with a table height lifting mechanism, allowing it to be used for a TV tray or something, is being delivered tomorrow. And my thrift store find is going to a new home with someone who is really excited about it...even though it is now really, super "well loved", and apparently quite tasty to pibbles .

LOOOOOL so I'm looking for a dentist, and ended up at some big dentist chain place or whatever, and they insist that I am in Grand Island Nebraska and refuse to hear otherwise. I click on Search and no input field or anything, just "Here is a location 2 miles from where you are in Grand Island Nebraska," and every time I click again it just re-centers the map.

I know they have a local office, too. I saw it on a more better working site.

I did not put this in the complaining thread because but I don't even care. I don't want to go to some Walmart of Dentists with that stupid $5 webpage.

You WILL NOT regret this. bey and I went coffee table shopping lo these many years ago, and we saw one that did that and we were like "obviously we're going to get that one." It was over our budget, but omg so worth it. We literally have guests threaten to steal it. Seriously when we were packing up for our move and giving away 90% of what we own, we had a line of people asking "so ... you're not going to drag that coffee table all the way across the country, are you?" Yes, motherfucker, even if I have to carry it on my back I'm goddamn taking it.

Best. purchase. ever.

I am really glad to hear that. Once the salesperson showed it to us, Hubby wouldn't look at anything else. He was like "This one doesn't do anything, we need that one that lifts". The sofas were on a fantastic clearance, so the expensive table thingie was magically right in our budget. We came out exactly where we said we would.

Oh, god.

Today, I saw this guy I know in the vestibule of a grocery store, where I pretty much just cornered him and informed him that I had just seen a small version of him last week. Which is true, and I mainly mentioned it because I saw that small version of him like ten feet from where I saw the real version, and I guess I just thought it was notable.

And he's like, "OK, well, thank you for telling me that you saw that little homunculus of me or whatever! Bye!" (I mean, paraphrased. He didn't say exactly that, but that would give you the idea.)

They delivered the wrong table, but we like this one even better. It has the lift mechanism still, but also has casters and larger drawers, and a non-upholstered top. Played Steam Park on it last night and had plenty of room. They offered us 50.00 to keep it instead making them drive the other one all the way here and such, which we accepted.

Restaurant Customers From Hell, Part One
OMG it's AML!What I didn't realize was that her whiney-ass boyfriend would be in attendance... I'm groggy and tired, and he apparently at the time was staying up all night playing Knights of the Old Republic or something, so he's always talkative, and at 5 in the morning, is still relatively awake. The drive is filled with riveting banter of how a libertarian government is the only way to economic lol, about how most economics professors end up becoming more conservative once you find out "how economics really work," blah blah, them damn immigrants...the twist, here, is that this guy was collecting unemployment and living in his parent's basement.

This discussion gets swallowed by him talking about how he likes to deal with "waitresses": at the start of the meal, he places a stack of ones on the table. (My stomach grows small and hard... I don't like where this is going. My friend suddenly finds the table cloth *very interesting*.) He goes on to explain that every time a "waitress" does something he doesn't like, he takes a dollar off the stack and puts it back in his wallet.
...A few months after that, they broke up.

Funny you should say that!
"To my knowledge, none of the restaurant staff were in earshot when he said it, but I felt incredibly embarrassed just to be in the same room with this person. When it came time to pay, I snagged the bill, said, "My treat!" and paid with card. I think I probably tipped something like 25%."
