Meanwhile, Trent's Still Getting Paid NOT to Grow Crops

Today is Old Farmer's Day, and I think Helen would take exception to the "old" part of that. After all, she's only forty tw--four!

If she does get mad, that's appropriate too because today is also Moment of Frustration Day. Just remember that you only get one moment to be frustrated. After that, just repress your anger like everyone else! Works for Jake, right?

Fanfic Update!

• All's Fair, by Princess_Pasta (part 11): "Birthdays were never Daria's cup of tea, especially her own. Even when she was a kid, all she wanted was to be left alone. Unfortunately, that never happened."

• Harry Potter Morgendorffer, by Meester_Lee (part 30): "'Mom,' said Daria. 'What is it, Sweetie?' said Helen. 'We need to talk,' said Daria. 'There's something I have to tell you. I think I might be a witch.'"

• You Want It Darker (formerly Prometheus/Lingchi), by LongSnakeMoan (part 4): "By the time Daria had arrived she'd felt if not better than at least not as bad as it had been. The picture had been locked away, carefully put back into the drawer and covered in scraps of fabric to protect it."
