I am obviously lacking in cool and glamour. Skirts that are so tight you can see them pull in various directions only say to me "I refuse to admit that I should really be wearing a size larger". Plus they look so uncomfortable.

I think I need a humidifier or two for this apartment. Does anyone have a brand/make that they love, or one they would advise against?

I used to have this Bionaire, and before that I had another that I think was also a Bionaire. They did the job, but they were kind of noisy, and VERY annoying to clean... which led to them being gross, which led to me needing a replacement.

So I got a Venta, last year. It's expensive, but not so bad compared to buying a new humidifier every 2 years. It has a 10-year warranty, it's super-easy to clean, it's almost silent, and it's also an air-purifier. I can't swear to how good a purifier it is, but I'm about to lend mine to a friend with 3 cats, which seems like a good test.

When I was shopping around this seemed like a pretty good rundown of the pros & cons of different models.

I lurve my Venta. I can't sleep through the night without it in the winter.

A prescription is a legal document, no? Unauthorized destruction of a legal document is legal issue.

Congratulations on job-finding to Plei, and best of all possible luck adapting to daycare to Lilly and Mom.

Happy half-birthday to Ellie! And the coffee sounds wonderful, Stephanie!

The pharmacist question is so angry-making. The problem is that the US professional organization pharmacists belong to is headed by a woman who not only condones, but encourages pharmacists to refuse to fill BC and EC prescriptions, and probably other medications, as well. Only to women, understand, as men know what they're doing and couldn't possibly need second-guessing or shepherding in making good decisions about their health.

I'm of the Outback opinion--what a good illustration. If you feel morally or religiously unable to serve meat, don't take a job in a steakhouse.

DJ--ow. Nose-healing vibes to you.

Ooo, we can form a Venta cult!

Man, I just am not grasping the axiom of separation. If anybody gets it and can explain it, please let me know? Otherwise the last two answers on my very last homework for this class may say, "Umm.... I'm not really sure."

The axiom of separation: "separation" always has a "rat" in the middle.

At least that's what they told me in 5th grade. You may be looking for something different.

You made me snort, Calli. What on earth were they trying to demonstrate? When I was in fifth grade, I was told to get all my ducks in order. Also to make sure my harness was fastened tightly around my hips before I jumped off the building.

She is among the wonderfulests.

Thirded - except she went to see Harry Potter without me!
