Your tag here.

So, my friends (husband and wife) have invited me over to their house tomorrow for a noon cookout. The catch is, a friend of theirs will be there and the husband+wife team seem to want to set me up with her (yes, I'm one of those creepy single 30-somethings).

Problem is, I'm so not interested in this person, plus I think she's a little weird. I told my friends this but they don't seem to believe me or want to hear it. I'm thinking I might blow the whole shindig off and avoid the situation. Advice?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Go, eat, make nice. Then leave without asking her out. If they ask you later if you followed up, tell them "I *told* you."

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Beverly is wise.

Then, if they try and set you up with her again, you can decline without regrets.

Yeah, you're probably right, Beverly and MFNlaw, I just wish I didn't feel like a lab experiment. I've met this person before, it's not gonna happen, that should be the end of it.

Our wings are not tired.

From Daniel's link..

Any uninsured patient whose household income is less than $125,000 will be charged the same discounted prices that large managed-care organizations pay for insured patients.

It's about time. I wish they would do that here. It's insane that people who pay cash the day of their appointment pay twice as much as insurance companies that pay a month or more later after billing. Grrr

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Wheee! I've been playing Ticket to Ride online. It's a fun way to spend an evening.

Gronk.

I'm up insanely early for a woman whose restless, sick child is still asleep, but if I'm ever thoroughly awake once I've had 5-6 hours asleep, trying for more is a lost cause, so here I am.....

Timelies. I had plans last night to tidy up this place in the morning. It's morning; I'm not tidying. But! I've got 2 hours left in which to tidy, yes? It could happen.

Must go get coffee. Need to contemplate tidy. There is no spoon.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Hurrah! Have found degree certificate and suchlike. Haven't found copy of old contract yet, but I was much more worried about my degree.

That Buffista -ma is some strong stuff, y'all.

Yay, Fay!
