Ah, like Lloyd Dobler "I don't know, but at least I know that I don't know. You know?"
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
One of the quotes I found epitomizes the "want everything for nothing mentality":
Client: I want excellent work
Me: uha
Client: I want very fasst work
Me: Uha
Clent: and i want very very cheap work
Me: as i roll my eyes, look back at the client and exclaim sarcastically .. YEAH, SURE.. you want fries with that?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I like the woman whose husband had to explain vertical and horizontal.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I've worked with several printers who had this posted over the front desk: "Good. Cheap. Fast. Pick two."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
MM, and anyone else in LA who might have missed it -- well, everyone missed it, since it was Weather Watch for two hours.
Jumping forward to say:
Wait, is this about Deb's piece, which I thought was nice and saved on Tivo? Damn.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
is this about Deb's piece, which I thought was nice and saved on Tivo?
Ayup. On the up side ... okay, so it's raining a lot. I got that. TWO HOURS WORTH OF MORNING NEWS, THOUGH? Most of it seemed to be reminding you to not go stare at the strange water in the rivers.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I couldn't help it. I submitted one.

That thing that was so scary that I couldn't talk about it and that I found out about on Friday afternoon when I couldn't do a damn thing about it either? Worked out.
Yay!!!!
Ayup
Phooey.

Who? moi??
A couple of those from the first link are very familiar. Especially number 13. A tech writer I know told me about it a few years ago.
Back to expensive clothes for a moment. Second hand clothes stores, Ebay (very recently I heard of a wedding dress purchased there) charity shops, factory outlets.
I got a raincoat a couple of years ago with a fur lined hood at Nordstrom's rack. $60. Marked down from some god awful amount.
Once I got a leather full length coat, with a zip out down lining, for $100. The store (Eddie Bauer) had originally had it for sale for $600. but had marked the last one down. As I tried it on, a sign caught my eye. Everything on this rack 50% off of sale price. heh heh. Still have the coat, my figure has expanded a bit. Hope springs eternal.
