[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Well, I seem to have located my spine.

I took a look at the hotel restaurant prices for the shower/party on Saturday and the entrees were averaging around $30/each. I emailed the MoH and other bridesmaids and said, "That's a bit overboard to expect guests to spend on dinner. Let's go to restaurant X where it's a bit more reasonable."

We'll see.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Aimee, if I were a guest at said shower, I would kiss you for this.

I had a dream the other night that I went off on Bride.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Thanks, guys. I'm not close with my grandmother but this is going to be insanely difficult for my dad and aunts and uncles. I feel bad for all the "kids" losing their mom. Also, {{{Honey}}}.

{{{Cass}}} I'm so sorry. If the company is the one that screwed up and the health coverage is in your contract, they should be covering your out of pocket expenses, imho.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

(Gloomcookie) I hope this time goes as comfortably and easily as possible for your grandmother and your family.

Thank you. BC/BS turned them down, they are appealing but I suspect it is not likely to change. But since I did have that whole benefits as part of my contract, I just offered to let them pay my COBRA for the three months. HR guy is out already but we'll see tomorrow... I think I offered them a nice way out.

I also just had to justify the time and billing on a JackAssDave's clients job that *he* was disputing. I save the hell out of email it seems. And my time was totally accounted for. His, OTOH, not so much. I might have snerked quietly.

If you'd like something to look forward to, want me to treat you to an ice cream sundae or something on Friday eve?
That sounds lovely actually.

You'd really think so... I am given them an easy way out, I think. They'd better jump and fast... My attitude is only going to get snarlier if my back doesn't get to go see a doctor soon.
