Here's to next year in Vegas!
It's not "next year in Jerusalem", but it's mine.
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

[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.

From the Washington Affairs Person for my Librarian group:
Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) credits librarians for first raising concerns about Sec. 215 of the USA Patriot Act with legislators during debate over the USA Patriot Act in 2001. Sanders heard our message, and he introduced the Freedom to Read Protection Act in 2003 and 2005 to exempts libraries and bookstores from Sec. 215.
As he did during the last Congress, Sanders is now ready to introduce an amendment to the House Commerce, Justice, State (CJS) Appropriations bill to cut off funds for library and bookstore searches under Section 215. His amendment came close to passing during the 108th Congress, and we need your help TODAY to get additional cosponsors so that it is added to the FY 2006 CJS bill.
Please take a few minutes TODAY to CALL your representative and urge her/him to support the "Sanders-Otter-Conyers-Paul-Nadler-Udall Freedom to Read Amendment." The U.S. Capitol switchboard is: 202- 224-3121, or find your member's DC and district office phone numbers at:

Happy Anniversary, connie! Hats off to you for not making a big deal about it. In my marriage, I am the spouse most likely to forget the actual day. At the moment, though, our ketubah has a prominent position in the living room so it would be really embarrassing if I did.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Way to go, Lyra Jane! Are you happy with the offer?

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
Happy Anniversary, connie!

Is your care through Mass. General (or Partners)? They used to have an office called "Patient Financial Services" in the Wang Ambulatory Care Center building.
That's actually where I've been going. I have a fairly weird situation that they haven't dealt with much, though, so it's been fun...probably still better than going to DTA, though.
Happy Anniversary, connie!
I haven't read beep me, but it looks like congrats are in order for Lyra! Yay!

The Tick is on Toon Disney.
As someone posted before, it will also be on ABC Family starting this Sunday at 11 am. Looks like it will be a weekly screening of the show and not a daily.

Emily, if you're still around, could you jump on AIM for a second?

I'm very excited about the Tick on TV again, even though I've already got my set of bootleg DVDs.
P-C, your parents believe you could become a Ph.D. It's not that they don't believe in you - they obviously have a lot of faith in your abilities. They just don't understand your choice. Which is pretty consistent with their attitude about marriage too.
They have Strongly Held Opinions which reflect their culture and upbringing. Your expectations about your life were shaped very differently. It's not really personal at all. It's the alltime classic American culture clash between generations.
