I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

how do we feel about someone saying "have a blessed day"?

Feels the same to me as someone saying "have a nice day".

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

From their reports, it seems the plane landed okay, but then couldn't brake.

Oh my god, this is totally my flying nightmare. How awful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Have a blessed day" kind of irks me, depending on context, but honestly, the people saying it are generally lovely and mean well. Unless I'm at work, then I'm all HULK SMASH. Like the time I got the email from HR about appropriate work email ettiquette.... with her Bible sig at the bottom. Argh.

Oh wait, I just realized my good association with "Have a blessed day" --- in DC, can you still call that crazy cafeteria menu line with the lady who loves you so much and sings and whatnot? Man, she got me through many a bad day when I lived down there. I think she ended with "Have a blessed day." Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

OH! hmm, I bet he will not be playing Dan though. He's much less fun when not Dan.

No, but I found him strangely charismatic even though he had like three lines. And then I wondered what the hell he's been up to and his credit list is short.

I do wonder what the hell the president's "vacation" is like. He's the freaking president! Is he just telecommuting?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Like the time I got the email from HR about appropriate work email ettiquette.... with her Bible sig at the bottom. Argh.

You know, I thought about putting a random bible verse on one of my email sigs. Not one of the inspirational or whatever ones, just a completely random one. Like maybe one of the laws from the old testament. Oooh, or maybe, for when I'm PMSing, one of the parts about what to do with a menstrating woman.

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

Can we sing it to the tune of "What Shall We Do With The Drunken Sailor"?

I like it, Heather, because you're not HR. Or are you?

Also, I found the number for the lunch lady, but it's defunct, alas.

Absolutely!

What is even happening?

My personal email signature is a Bible Verse:

I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.

Of course, that's a personal email account.
