With Rebekah, Elijah and Henrik all leaving town, it was quite a surprise tonight to hear from my older sister, Freya, who I haven't heard from in quite some time. It's been so long since I've heard from her that I didn't recognize her voice at first.

I usually don't do this whole Internet, social media thing, but I was told this was a good place to get advice.

Howdy, I'm Leon. My kid brother's come to stay with me for a while, so now I'm looking for a babysitter or daycare or something. Someone who can drop him off/pick him up from school, maybe sometimes keep him overnight when my job calls for it. Anyone know of someplace?

You know what tastes really good after feeling under the weather for a few days? Soup and bagels. That's on the menu today, and don't worry, I got checked out and I'm healthy, just had a cold for a day or two. Totally skipped working.

I'm still grateful for the other night, by the by

I've been lurking on this forum for two weeks and IT hasn't decided to cut me off, so it probably isn't any threat to national security if I post here.

It's only Tuesday, I have a stack of paperwork so tall it's about to spill off my desk, and I'm bored out of my skull. Someone please tell me there's something more interesting going on outside my office today.

Alright, folks - I'm running away to Scotland for my birthday next month, and if you want some neat foreign crap, speak now or forever hold your peace. I might want to stay forever because I'm really tempted to just take over a castle and retire, but I'm still contemplating that. But I really was meant to live in a luxurious castle so debating's pointless when I know the answer.

AKA, adios, fuckers.

Kidding. Mostly.

But seriously I don't know what stuff is there, but if you always wanted stuff from there--and London, because adventure--let me know.

Anyone got any suggestions for something I can use as a makeshift litter box?

I don't think I'm ever going to understand people. Honestly. In what world is it considered acceptable to berate the person behind the counter for not putting cream and sugar in your coffee when you ordered it black? And continue doing so while they're remaking your drink?

I was standing right behind the person in line and they never said a word about cream and sugar, even when asked, until they were given their coffee. I don't think I could have handled it as well as the employees did. I know I couldn't have kept a smile on my face as I remade their drink and thanked them for coming.

I can understand children behaving that way to a degree - they're still learning how to act in public after all but not adults.

I'm going to start locking that damn dog out of the basement when we're all going to be gone Anybody know of a good guitar repair shop? The one I've been using since I moved out here closed and I haven't really liked any of the ones I've checked out since but I need one now soon. Preferably one that does good work and won't take my entire paycheck.
