So someone put a lily on your doorknob and your friend found a similar lily placed inside their home? I mean, if it were me, no matter how much I trusted the friend, I’d at least partly suspect they were playing some game. People are strange and it’s basically impossible to fully know someone. Maybe it’s for attention, drama, a joke? Not just the friend, but basically anyone who knows you both and has access to her place would be considered.

I’m not saying that is what it is, but what I would, with near certainty, say is that no one that is a stranger to the two of you broke into her place and placed a lily while also placing a lily on your doorknob. NEAR certainty. Take normal precautions though. And don’t be too polite to call for help, fight back, or make a scene if you feel like you’re in immediate danger.

When I was in high school autistic kids just got relentlessly bullied (freshman and sophomore year especially). We really have come a long way. I’m sure there’s still bullying, but this kind of love and support becomes even more important in that case.

Weirdly, no. No one’s ever had sex at that hotel.

Just curious. Is it accredited? Do they put out useable professional degrees?

That’s great! Go Ozarks!

It’s hard out there: you may be able to able to afford getting warm in here.

That dude walked around everyday pulling flyers for events down in an impotent rage. We hung fake flyers once, in his sight, just to watch him march angrily out and tear them down. It was before the internet and we were bored.

That little?! That’s a wrap, sacks! You heard em!

Horrifying. FIFTEEN meter tsunami hit Fukushima. All the scared people and yelling and confusion. Just terrible. This is so much more intense and so much larger in scale than I imagined it when reading about it at the time.

THANK YOU!!!!

> maybe ill be unlucky enough to be behind you someday :]

Hope so! I’ll gently slow down and get giddy at your expression!

On city streets the left lane is not for passing. That’s only on highways.

I’ve driven professionally for most of my adult life. I do not work on ice. There’s no way to mitigate the potential problems enough to make it worth it to me.

I guess I’m just not as afraid of snow as I maybe should be? I just figure if I need food when it’s snowing…I’ll just like…go get food…

Apparently…

I always thought dogs were more accepting of people. Sad. I agree though. This is dumb.

It’s more than $12, but most of that $500 was probably the tax.

I had a drill sergeant roll with me on fire watch duty, one time in basic. I had trained under a Renzo Gracie brown belt for a while before joining and I smoked him. The agreement was, if I win and don’t tell anyone there would be no consequences. We both kept our word. I mean, I’m telling you now, but that doesn’t count. He just didn’t want to risk having to deal with any disrespect from other privates.

I’ll second this one. Feel like I get in and out quickly there and have never had them try to sell me anything.

I can’t fucking imagine living anywhere that small and boring. Bad enough I’m in Springfield.

I don’t know you, so it’s hard to know what you’d be a likely victim of. Springfield isn’t that bad. It’s not 1970’s NYC. Theft is bad, but it’s getting bad everywhere. Homelessness is bad, but it’s getting bad everywhere. I’d be careful walking around at night, but…I’d be careful anywhere.

I guess if you’re a boring, middle class, moral panic type, Ozark or Nixa would be better, though I cannot personally imagine living anywhere that boring and chain store. Springfield is boring and small enough. I love in the MSU area and as long as you’re safe you’re probably going to be fine.

Ah, ok thank you. I knew it was the last time I ever had to deal with them, but I thought it was possible that they moved into the shiny new county building.

Yes, but I think you probably know that wasn’t what we were talking about.

That’s the county and possibly the municipal courthouse. Federal is on 222 S JQH.

Federal courthouse and the jail are not in the same place.
