No sooner had we typed this than the EJC and PJC began texting us, answer simultaneously we man.

The EJC has a thing for us, we intuit man.

But she is going away for a week-plus, Caribbean birthday cruise man.

The PJC wants advice on student-loan-debt relief, limited input from we man man.

Maybe we can up-fix her with a professional financial advisor, unsure what that would yield man.

We're tempted to blow off the TMJC permanently, more than enough chances man.
