Well, in that case.
Customer: Can you guys stop sending me e-mails?
Me: I'm sorry, you should only get one e-mail confirming that your order was placed and one when your reorder date is up.
Customer: No, I get a lot more than that. A lot more.
Me: Are you sure they're from us, and not from any other company?
Customer: No, they're from you. I'm 100% sure they're from you.
Me: Because it's possible they're from another company you've ordered through, or just spam from other companies online trying to trick you into thinking you've ordered from them.
Customer: No, it's definitely from you. It had your name on it.

Customer: Do you offer Saturday shipping?
Me: Yes, but unfortunately we're past the cutoff time for an order to be processed today. Any orders placed at this point on a Friday would usually be processed and shipped on Monday, so with overnight shipping the estimated arrival would be Tuesday.
Customer: So if I place the order now, it will definitely arrive Monday?
Me: ...

“I kiss her mouth and I know for everything there is a word, for everything but this.”
-Crossed Out Name, by Ryan Adams & The Cardinals.
That lyric reminds me of this poem, “No Words” by Brian Andreas:
I read once that the
Ancient Egyptians had
fifty words for sand
& the Eskimos had a
hundred words for snow
I wish I had
a thousand words
for love.
But all...

sarahchristine asked: I completely disagree because prude does not carry the same connotations as slut, and this person is obviously judgmental and unaware of how the world works (owning a sex toy does mean one is promiscuous). Calling someone a prude is not always pejorative and I think that word is accurate and fair in this situation as they are acting that way. Calling someone a slut for answering a question about...

Frank Turner photo interview
fuckyeahfthc:
http://anegativenarrative.com/interviews/frank-turner-2/
A brilliant concept: A Negative Narrative sends you ten questions, and you answer each with a photo.

Colorado Is Imminent
49.5 hours until I arrive in Denver! My sister and I are sort of throwing plans together at the last minute, so if you have been to Colorado or know of anything awesome to do, it’s not too late! What should I do and where should I go for the most awesomeness in Denver, Colorado Springs, and the surrounding areas?
