'Sleeper'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
hmm, Kat, perhaps you are right, I should just say that we netted X amount.
I think as long as you acknowledge which one you are using, it's fine. Or you could say $X raised with a net blah blah blah (don't know the term) of $X. Which is what I've seen LLS do.
People who want to focus on Paul, go start Paulianity. Good luck to you.
Ha! This is cute. But even if I were the sort to worship, I don't think I'd worship somebody whose first claim to fame was falling off a donkey.
(Side note: Casper the Amazing Wonder Niece loves to talk about donkeys. Why donkeys? I never found out! How can a toddler tell a donkey from a horse? I have no idea! I think it is just the funness of the word 'donkey'.)
(Soon enough, we will transfer her to 'monkey' and her Buffistadom will be complete.)

Nutty, we felt awful bad for you last night. NStar turned our power on much sooner than I expected them to (although of course they turned it off in the first place, rather than it going out in some way they have to figure out and then fix, as in your case).
Yeah, they were fixing your power, instead of mine!! My mother called me up upon watching the 11pm news (I was 1 hour asleep by then) and reported that about 6000 people had lost power. I was like, "That's nice, but I'm not one of those people. I can look out my window and see tantalizing, luscious electricity only one block away.
If I hadn't slept in a severe state of undress, due to the unameliorated heat, I would have run outside and thanked the NSTAR guys this morning.
Jesus was very wise and cool. Paul has some major league issues.
This brings to mind Lee Hays' (of the Weavers) quote: "When Paul and Barnabas would come to town, they'd set sex back a few hundred years..."
It was a rotten day for the power to go out.
Particularly if the traffic is also disturbed so that you have to walk about 6 extra blocks to get home from the bus. Actually, the walk was kind of nice -- hot, but there were breezes -- but stepping inside was awful.
On the upside, your warning about the Red Line being on the fritz inspired me to go shopping instead of going straight home. I bought a red topless dress and put it right on and walked down into the Fens in the late afternoon and got a frappe. And then got onto the T later, and still had to wait, but they had at least 1/5 of the lightbulbs back on in Central Stn. by then.
Oh, excellent. Yeah, I got a strawberry coolatta and walked a lot and vw and I decided to go out for a steak dinner and froofy drinks. All in all, the power outage may well have made it a really good day, albeit a terribly sweaty one (and of course vw suffered much more than I did).
Not that I'm endorsing power outages, of course.

If you were walking around topless, I'm suprised you didn't get MORE than a frappe.
