Maybe they should police their own community more seriously.

It has to do with insurance, I think. Maybe. I hope.
Are you asking for an introduction?

Can't they tell it's not a plesiosaur by the smell? I would assume a dead shark smells much worse than a live plesiosaur.

Still waiting on the thing. It's too bad Trump tanked the economy after the end of the year, or I might have got a tax break.

How are Amanda and Farah easier to write than Dirk and Todd? Dirk seems fun and Todd seems easier than Amanda.
Which something? Most of my somethings would require a reading exchange, at the very least. If you haven't read them already, they aren't easily accessible by humans.
There might be a burn. It depends on the mechanism of the soulmate AU.

You need to appear too intimidating to call out. You must not be imagining a large enough beard.

Does PC not tell you what they do with the money? Where is the transparency here, people?
I'm not NOT asking for an introduction. If you happen to know any friendly Ohio PCers who would appreciate some volunteerism by an out-of-practice HB who can't ride, I would be amenable to meeting them.

But a dead shark might very well smell the same as a dead plesiosaur. If they successfully get the dead shark out of the water they usually conclude they've found a freshly-dead plesiosaur. I'm not sure there's much of a smell difference between a newly dead sea creature and a well-decomposed one.

What does the economy have to do with tax breaks? I legitimately don't know.
On the topic of money, do you have a credit card? How does one get a credit card? I think I'm at the time in my life where I'll be needing a credit score.

Farah's range of reactions are more similar to those of a normal human person than most of the cast. Amanda is #relatable. Dirk does indeed seem fun, but he would also make a very fun fish.
Doesn't much matter. You never let me read any of your unpublished somethings, so I'll take what I can get. For this hypothetical reading exchange, would I have to let you read this fic in particular? Or could I contribute one of the other stories I have languishing on my hard drive?

I don't think it's possible to intimidate a proper drag queen. There is no beard large enough. They would take it as a challenge.

I'm sure they do, since they are a non-profit and there are rules. Thanks to Convergence, I am well aware that there are rules. I have no desire to comb through that type of thing on a poorly designed website.
I see. I'll keep an eye out on the HMO FB page.

Oh, I assure you, there is. Microbiology lab illustrated the difference rather well.

My investing service has tax loss harvesting, so it can make losses in your stock show up as good things for your taxes. It's because you're effectively losing money, which always means tax breaks.
I don't have one. You get one by applying for it and being approved, and then not doing stupid things like not paying it off promptly. I have looked into it, and I suggest you explore the finance advice side of the internet rather than just going with your bank. They can show you how to find one in your spending range and with the sort of perks you might actually want and use.

Farah, sure. I just don't see the #relatable. Will he be allowed to talk as a fish?
You've sure talked it up. I would be very disappointed if you gave me something else to read. I want fish.

Challenging you to an intimidation fight over your beard isn't much like human interaction. You would probably enjoy it.

Oh, you don't already know anyone nice from OH? That probably means that all OH PCers are mean. True fact.

How do you know what plesiosaurs smell like? I doubt you microbiology lab covered that. Maybe they smell bad all the time.

Do we get a credit score for paying our student loans? Does that include paying them off early? I'm finally in a good position to eliminate my highest-interest loans, and would love to get a credit score for that.

Like Amanda, I too have intense anxiety about going out in public. I'm not a punk, so that's less #relatable, but I can work with it. No, Dirk won't be able to talk as a fish. Don't be ridiculous. Fish don't have vocal chords.
I've talked it up too much, I fear. I've only written the first scene and it's already going in some weird, unsatisfying directions.
You know what you've talked up a lot? Your MCU/Pern AU. I want to read it. Even if it's incredibly incomplete. Give it to me.

I did SO MUCH cooking this weekend. So much. This is a list of everything I made:
Roasted potatoes
Sesame potatoes (AKA instant pot potatoes in the sauce I used on sesame chicken)
Crepes
Berry syrup-sauce-whatever
Roasted asparagus
Crescent rolls (from a can, so they don't really count)
I'm a chef now. That's how it works, right?
Popcorn

I can't remember the region that covers Ohio. We might have met at the annual meeting and I wouldn't have known.

No natural creature could survive smelling bad all the time. The universe would conspire to destroy them.

Yes? I don't know. I assume so. I just paid them and hoped for the best. Don't wait to pay just so you can get a credit boost; the interest isn't worth it.

Just get very angry about injustice, and shout a lot. That is the soul of punk.
Can he gwap as a fish? Fish gwap.
Pull it back into a better direction. Kill the first one with fire. I don't care how you do it.
No. Trade or nothing. And I need to edit it first.

Sesame potato sounds foul. Did your potatoes not turn into burned mush this time?
You're not a chef if you're not willing to put popcorn in the main body of the list.

It's half Midsouth, and half Tri-State. I'm not sure which one I'm actually in.

The hoatzin, stinkbug, and several species of mustelid would like to have a word with you. It's completely possibly to go through life as a stanky animal. Plus, plenty of plants. Stanky. And E. coli! Smells bad all the time.

Yeah. Quick question, if I have two loans with similar interest rates, do I pay half of the larger loan with a slightly lower interest rate first, or all of the smaller loan with the slightly higher interest rate first? I think this is a math problem, but I'm not sure what math to do to it.

Okay, will do. I will become a punk. Going to go shout at something now.
Of course he will gwap as a fish. It's one of the things I'm most looking forward to writing. And flop! Flop and gwap.
I never kill any of my writing with fire. Everything stays in, even the scenes that end up contradicting later events. Editing is for better souls than me.
Well, yes, trade. Edit if you must, but you're not seeing solemates until I get the Marvel Cinematic Perniverse.

The potatoes were fine, but sesame potato was not as good an idea as I thought it would be. I'm eating it with rice, and wow, that's a lot of starch.
AAAAAH I made the list and then wrote the thing about being a chef and then I remembered, oh, I also made popcorn, so I went to add it to the list but I added it after the chef thing instead--
I'm a failure.

Why do you know that?

Most animals just smell musky, not terrible. And plants need extra help. E. coli only smell bad if we concentrate them on growth media.

Pay the one with higher interest rate. You're paying off the same amount of principle either way, so you want lower interest to remain, regardless of loan size. I think you could work this if you really wanted to.

Shout at the plumbers union first, please.
Perhaps you could... edit it anyway? Once you've finished?
I definitely must. Maybe you will only receive selected scenes from MCP.

Yeah. What a surprise.
Yep. This is why you can't be a chef.
I made baked mac&cheese and it wasn't bad. I don't see the big deal with the roux. Cooking milk is much more difficult than making a roux.

I looked it up. Using the google. Ooooooooh.

Okay, maybe the mustelids are just musky, but the hoatzin? Pure stanky bird. No excuses, no regrets. Why do plants get to live by special rules?

I prefer to treat you as an on-call financial advisor. You are so wise in the ways of moolah.

What did the plumbers ever do to you? Plumbers are fine, upstanding people. Integrity, benevolence, all that good stuff. They advertise it right on the building I walk past.
I'm trying to think of a single non-academic piece of writing that I've edited beyond basic copy-editing, and I can't. I'm not sure that's a skill I've ever developed. And as we all know, skills I haven't developed yet are skills I will never have, ever.
Will the selected scenes make sense when strung together? Because that is called a story.

I don't see how anyone could have predicted this. Potato=good. Sesame=good. Two great tastes, why wouldn't they taste great together?
I don't see the big deal with the roux either! It is not so hard. Did you add a bunch of garlic to your mac & cheese?

Oooooooooooooh.

I've never smelled one. I wouldn't know. And plants need the extra help, since they have very limited defensive and dispersal options.

True, but I still don't have any experience with credit cards. All I know is what I read on one advice page for young people picking credit cards. Don't be taken in by rewards you don't really want.

Are you a plumber apologist? I am shocked.
Never. Ever. So editing?
Nope. Too many of them need to be removed. It will be like a badly edited 80's anime.

I predicted it. Easily. Some things require great skill to be brought together if they can be brought together at all. You have a Pot.
Just a little. I under-salted again, too. I always under-salt.

Sounds like you are heavily biased in favor of plants? You don't get to have an opinion until you smell the hoatzin. Admittedly, I've never smelled one either, so I also don't get an opinion. Reportedly they smell like rotting fruit + bird poop.

I am easily taken in. It is easy to convince myself that I will want a thing I have never wanted in the past and do not need. Door-to-door salesfolk could probably sell me anything, provided I opened the door. That is why I never open doors.

If it's already going to be like a badly edited 80's anime, can you splice one of your other stories into the gaps? It doesn't have to be similar in subject matter at all. Just plug those plot holes with something.

Get yourself some garlic salt and go to town with it. Become one with your seasoning. Don't be the guy on Cutthroat Kitchen who has no sabotages and gets sent home for under-seasoned tacos.

My Prime membership is officially over. Fare thee well, Prime benefits. Netflix is my friend now. On that topic, have you been Netflixing?
