I won't ever make you clean the sink, Teppy.
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

Laura, yay on the letter!
Maybe they waited with it in order for it to be published on the same day as Teppy's. Maybe it's the international "publish a Buffista letter" day, or something.
[Edit: and now my post # is consecutive digits, only the larger (older) ones are hugging the smaller (younger) ones. Maybe it's also "numbers hug in strange ways in my head" day, as well]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You guys! And your letters to the editors! Woo.

Good letters, you two! Proud of you both for writing them, and proud of the editors for publishing them.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
BATON ROUGE (AP): There may be more criminal cases related to the rising death count from Hurricane Katrina.
Attorney General Charles Foti tells NBC he will investigate every death at a nursing home or hospital that's not deemed to be from natural causes. And he says he won't hesitate to bring more charges.
The owners of a nursing home where 34 people died are free on bond after being charged with negligent homicide. Authorities say they turned down offers of rescue. But their attorney says some of the frail patients probably wouldn't have survived the evacuation.
Over the weekend, more than 40 bodies were pulled from a flooded New Orleans hospital.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I need advice.
I'm thinking of applying for a job that would, in almost every respect, be a vast improvement over the job I have now. It's in the field I want to pursue, it's in my town (as opposed to in another state!), it's more money. There are two catches, however: It's temporary (through Feb.), and it doesn't have benefits.
The part about it being temporary doesn't bother me overmuch. I'm set to quit my current job before the end of the year anyway, and I have no current job leads for after I quit, so taking this job will just extend by a couple of months the time period I have in which to find another job (and, optimistically, there's always the chance that they'll love me so much they'll want to keep me on in some capacity once this position is finished).
The no benefits part, though, worries me. Not that my health plan at the moment is all that great, but being without one entirely is a dire prospect. So I'm looking at COBRA, and it looks like I can get a short-term (under 6 months; this is assuming I'll be able to find another job with benefits in the spring) insurance plan for only $25/month. Can that possibly be right? I know I've heard friends talk about paying as much as $300/month for COBRA. Does anyone here have experience or advice with this plan?
TIA!
