I'm so sorry, Cindy.

[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.

My condolences, Cindy.
I'm so sorry, Cindy. It's always hard.
Welcome to the world, Isaac! And easy-recovery ~ma to Burrell.
I'm sorry, Cindy.
Seems there is much punctuation and ~ma needed, whether congratulatory or otherwise.
Hello there, Isaac.
Hugs specially Cindy and vw and in general to all and sundry.
Me, I am having a dandy time, just dandy, attempting Mac-required recto-cranial inversion therapy on myself.
{{Cindy}} I'm so sorry.

I had a business call today. I was supposed to call at 10, or as soon as I was functional. What with baby difficulties, it was almost 11. Client was on the phone. I called back and got him at 11:30. He ripped my deathless prose to shreds and I had to hang up for the rewrite since he kept making suggestions in my ear as I was trying to form a coherent sentence. I called back. 5 minutes later, Aidan crawled on top of my head (somehow getting up on the back of my chair and then whomping!) to tell me he had a poopy diaper. I attempted to change the diaper while discussing why the client's sentences were not sentences but were, instead, ass... diplomatically. Since I was distracted (and he knew why) he decided to tell me a funny story. But it wasn't. He said he'd hang up and I could call him back after the babies were down for a nap. He should know, but I did not remind him, that Aidan's naptime isn't until 2 and Kara mostly doesn't take one. I just told him I'd call him back after the next rewrite.
I deleted all the "he's an ass, such an ass" notes from the document, replaced many of my old sentences and sent it back. Then I called again because Kara and Aidan had taken themselves off to the bedroom to play (little did I realize that was MY bedroom). The client decided to line edit without having read the whole thing, and so kept suggesting changes to each sentence that were already there in the next sentence. He didn't like my quote of him -- he preferred something with more "ums".
I got off the phone with him, finally satisfied, sent off the article to a client...and then realized I'd sent a previous draft, and had to go back and re-send the right one.
Sheesh.
