After spouse poked around in the broken electric kettle and was unable to fix it quickly, Iโve ordered a new one. He has some ideas about maybe fixing the old one up, but I gather itโs going to be fiddly.
In the meantime, Iโm going to appreciate my cups of tea even more for having had to remember to set a timer to check whether a pot of water is boiling yet.
We fucked up, the internet was supposed to be a fun weird thing with hamsters dancing and now itโs a thing where you pay bills and your boss spies on you
When a loved one passes leaving you the role of Executor of the estate, and you're going through who to notify about the recent death,

This is really important for things like online bill payments for utilities, mortgages, etc.

Scene: a room at my small liberal arts college in the early '90s. My friends Spence and Topher, boyfriends, lazing in bed together.
Spence: "You need me." Topher: "You know, it's true, I really do. Maybe I don't say that enough out loud, but I want you to know that I feel it often." Spence: "..." Topher: "..." Spence: "No, I mean you kneed me. Just now. In the balls."
