Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

[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.

Lilty, it looks like I'll definitely be hitting Portland between 6-6:30 tomorrow, barring disaster. Any chance of meeting up? No biggie if not, I've got a pretty busy weekend ahead - Friday's pretty much the only open day.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

How long has it been?

It's been a year. I'm gifted in the information falling out of my head department.

Some of it's coming back. I think some of it might never have been in there, since I was doing Corporate Finance and this actuarial stuff is not quite the same. I'll be okay once I quit reading the coursework and do some problems, probably, but the reading is making me feel stupid.

I thought Lilty was an east coaster. My Buffista geography is pretty off.

Portland, Maine, Gud.

Our wings are not tired.

{{Nora}} It is a very stressful thing. I've done the property buying thing several times now, and still very stressful. Not to be discouraging, but there are always lots of things that don't go the way they are supposed to, and lots of things that don't happen in a timely fashion. Expect this and then be delightfully surprised when it all goes smoother than expected.

I have a closing to be scheduled before the end of the month. I expect to hit the panic point shortly. The buyer is ready to go, but I am the holdup. Waiting for my bank to approve changes, and I have to clear the land. Speaking of which, I need to go do stuff. I really don't want any delays.

Frank, it's still a possibility- I'll e-mail you my cell #.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

She is, Gudanov. They mean Portland, Maine.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'll be okay once I quit reading the coursework and do some problems, probably, but the reading is making me feel stupid.

Some of the actuarial material I studied was quite dense. I often spent an hour or more studying half a page of actuarial formulas....

Okay, my Buffistas geography is rectified. That's sneaky, having another Portland.
