Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

is not, it at a for-profit start-up. I sold out to the man. Turns out the man, not that bad.

The whole package that I want is less than $1500 from Apple, so that's not bad.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I went to the post office to find out why I haven't been getting my proper mail after the hold was put on (probably about four pieces, all told, in a week), and they told me to call my carrier. Turns out my regular carrier was on vacation last week, but she's back now, and will make sure I get my mail.

What the hell sort of system is that, where I need to talk to the carrier, and her replacement can't get me my fucking mail? Hell, I went to a dinner yesterday whose invitation I have not yet received. That's crap.

I thought the loss of three month's worth of mail when I moved from MI (including cheques) was a one-off thing, but this is two mail holds in a row where service got fucked.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Teppy, any dad news?

Teppy, any dad news?

He's having an angiogram at this very moment (angiogram #2 in less than 1 week), to see what's what. Hopefully they can figure out what the "some things" are that are "in the back" of his heart. I'm going over there (the hospital is 10 minutes from my office) in about half an hour.

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

ita, when I was in NYC for one summer and moved back to A2, they held my mail for weeks and claimed it was because they wouldn't deliver to my mailbox without a label on it. The name label had fallen off. WTF kind of policy is that-- they're delivering to my new mailbox with an old label on it ok.

Teppy, I hope things will go as well as possible with your father, and that quick and easy-to-solve figuring out will take place.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Making any changes to mail delivery is always a dicey proposition. I can even believe my mail man was trying to be nice when he returned my paycheck because there was no name on my mailbox, but COME ON. I was taking all the rest of the mail addressed to me, wasn't I?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This has come up here before, I think....

Cable’s digital drive irks basic customers

PHILADELPHIA - LaRonika Thomas got upset when Comcast moved the Sci-Fi channel to its digital service this summer, ensuring she couldn’t continue to watch her favorite show, “Firefly,” without paying $20 more a month.

The Chicago resident received The Golf Channel instead on her basic, analog cable service.

“I don’t watch golf. I would rather have static on than that channel,” said the theater director.

“It’s an awfully big cost,” said Thomas. “I haven’t canceled my service yet, but I may.”

I kinda' wanna tell her, "Just buy the Firefly DVDs."

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

My office is freezing, and the tapes database is down.

So I can't do any work, and I'm COLD.

Someone should bring me hot chocolate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Colin's series has gotten 13 episodes picked up! Eureka, on the Sci Fi Channel. Luckily I both don't have Comcast and do have digital.
