Is it just me, or is "Give it up, you're not getting your shit back" really not appropriate?

"Oh, I am being constructive!

No, you aren't, sweetie. Not unless you either have my bag in hand or have the cash to replace everything in it! But I don't know, it's like she thinks what I really need and want is people dashing my hopes against the rocks!

THIS IS NOT HELPFUL.

Meanwhile, the newyorkers comm has its daily quota of "please adopt this cat" posts up in the form of a blind cat. This little ray of sunshine sure isn't commenting there going "Nobody's gonna want your blind cat, just toss it in the street!", even though we all do know that disabled kitties have a harder time getting adopted.

(Also, uh, anybody seen my bag? It has books in it!)

Edit: She's really just a very unpleasant person. I think if I go back there, I may lose it entirely, so could you do me a favor? Check in on the post a few times and if anybody ACTUALLY finds my bag or ACTUALLY has something useful to say, let me know? I hate to ask the favor, but I would like to refrain from cursing. I think I've been very good today.

Two questions....

1. Is it okay to punchbuggy a. by proxy and b. over the phone?

2. I have a bread recipe that calls for some quantity of cooked rolled oats. I have rolled oats to use, so I will, but in the future could I substitute the same amount of cooked steel-cut oats since that's what I try to have on hand?

3. Should I have made this a poll?

4. Can I count?
