I did the warm salt water last night. In case anyone has forgotten, it is NASTY.
I am pushing lots of water and right now hot herb tea.
Also, I don't think I want to kiss my Dr. Pretty sure, no.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Beej, that sounds like BS to me. My doctor will take credit cards, but if you pay cash or check she charges less.

Considering the highest class place I've ever been to on my own nickle is Olive Garden, I'm not too concerned about the etiquette of bill delivery. Bankroll a trip to Le Cirque or something for me, and I'll be happy to conduct an investigation.

Trip one is PA.
Trip two is west coast, but we are not sure on exact places yet. It will get finalized today and Monday.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I get dinged and extra x% for paying with a credit card all the time.
I always liked gargling with warm salt water, It's miles better tasting than gargling with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and Lavoris, that's for sure. Used to have to do that when I had chronic sore throats of indeterminate origin.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Is it midnight yet? And why can't I get the newest "Harry Potter" if it's midnight SOMEWHERE? I mean, I'm pretty sure it's midnight by now in New Zealand or Australia or the "Lost" Island. What's the point of time zones if I can't get them to work for me for a change?
Rumor has it that a few were sold in Indianapolis early yesterday. But the buyers weren't naming the bookstore.
We tend to pay our restaurant bills with a debit card but tip in cash. I waited tables for a while--and while some waitstaff do make good money, I'd rather them not have to pay taxes through the nose just because they're worried Uncle Sam can track their credit card receipt totals.
When I worked in a flower shop, we had a minimum amount that could be charged to credit cards. I think the credit card fee was 5% at that time (but that was easily 10 years ago).
I prefer my bill to be placed on the table without my asking--just because it seems whenever I'm in a hurry and have to ask for it, the server never seems to show up and I have to flag someone else down to get my bill and get out of there.

What is WITH the sore throats? I was giving advice to meara last night, and this morning I wake up with a sore tonsil. But I think it is just irritation, not infection. Probably slept funny and snored or something.
Lalala. Don't want to do anything.

Finally...and I know you've all been waiting...a crappy picture of the overhead bin warning sign in my cubicle.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm okay with minimum amounts, et al. What I'm really not okay with is having a service charge leveraged against me for debit card usage. Multi-especially when they don't tell me, but I just read it on the receipt.
My reflex isn't so much to pay cash as it is to give someone else my money.
msbelle, that's the price you pay for snogging meara. Sorry.
