so u risked (to a v small degree) death/dismemberment/electrocution to retrieve a terrible book?
― nakhchivan, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 22:57 (fourteen years ago) link
part of my reasoning for going ahead was that it would have been a deliciously ironic death given the book-title
plus there were like 20 gawping onlookers primed to yell TRAIN if it appeared...as it turned out, it arrived like 2 minutes later
as for electrocution, the third rail is always on the far side from the platform in stations

lol it wasn't even to impress her so much, it was more out of a genuine desire to see if I could reverse the bizarre and unfortunate situation of a book fallen to irretrievable ground
plus there was a BIG audience, always helps
oh you, dmac

they are prone to talking like they are from an 18th century dictionary with all the words with 2 syllables or less removed. also they support charlton.
....they're commonly frustrated with the range of footwear available to choose from during the sales?

I like that part of LJ's good deed involves correcting a stranger's taste.

her thanks are met with a curt "no problem". her offer of the book is met with a firm (and true) "I already have a copy". she is still on the phone. "some gentleman has rescued my book!" she sounds awfully excited
one merely observes that it is a good thing one possesses size 13s

Ive been covering a brother whose long term disability got stopped two months before Christmas, finally got word today that hes back on some other payment.
No other way around it but im not going to see any of it back and its just the wrong time for it to have come up what with deposits and costs, but its not his fault and hes in a fragile state often enough and yknow what are you gonna do.

as someone who has received help from family for a while, by doing that you've absolutely allowed him to see brighter days than he otherwise would have in the future, and you should feel very good about it.
