Nora, that's so creepy. It seems weird to me that they can congregate in a residential neighborhood.

My Buffistaversary is in February. I've been here for more than four years, now.

Where did it go?

I'm so wigged out about it.

Anyway, Tom, freshly showered, said that he could vote if he were registered, but he's not registered, and if he were, he'd have to vote in Huntington, one of the major Conservative strongholds, so, not much use in it. He also says he sucks for not being registered. But having to register in Huntington apparantly is not much of a motivator to get it done.

I'm just quoting here.

My Buffistaversary is June 16, 2003. I lurked for about an hour before I jumped out of the cake and into Bitches.

So the client meeting went well today, I think. There was Buffista~ma aplenty which is always a good thing. Thank you.

I had planned to write all about it, but I am so completely exhausted that I skipped ahead (with a threadsuck hanging out in another window to read tomorrow likely) and am thinking longingly of just lying down and going to sleep shockingly early.

Given my not so infrequent struggles with sleep, Ima light a couple tealights and comply. Fire pretty, tree leafy.

I don't think I lurked. I had never been to any type of board before so I knew nothing of lurking. I posted 9/30/01. I sought an alternative to television that month in dire need of distraction. It was meant to be. No doubt if other boards had been my first find I would have found drugs or some other addiction instead. It wasn't until much later that I discovered the rarity of Buffistas.

Yay Cinco de Mayo! Except I smell like an ashtray and I don't smoke. But I did go out on a Thursday night which is unusual for me. So Yay!

Hivemind assistance wanted:

Annabel, after seeming healthy, happy, and normal-temperatured all day, has developed a fever of 102 out of nowhere. She still doesn't seem sick--sleepy, but it's her bedtime and she missed a nap.

Is this a "call the doctor NOW" scenario, or a "give her medicine and see how she is in the morning" one?

I'd call it a give her medicine and see how she is in the morning case. They do spike easily and quickly. It can be so many things, or nothing at all. Overtired, teeth, ears. It is most likely she will sleep soundly after the meds and be fine in the morning.

Thanks, Laura. We do think she's cutting a tooth--she's had lakes of drool, and DH thought he felt it through her gums.

Ah yes, foaming at the mouth. May be a tooth. I hope she settles down easily. God knows I wouldn't be happy if I were getting a new tooth.

Quick resume question: I'm revising my resume, and for the education section, how am I supposed to phrase my current school stuff? (Currently in grad school, have all the qualifications to graduate with a masters this year but not going to bother with going through the paperwork to actually get the degree right now, planning to continue to get a Ph. D. at some point in the next three or so years.)
