I'm skeptical.
So am I, although mostly I am just not that kind of gal. I like conversation.

As a former store employee (and a female one), tommyrot, I think it's perfectly OK. I mean, as long as it's not done in a creepy or rude way, obviously. But, it's like someone said above. Being asked out by a nice person is almost always a good thing, because you can totally say no if you actually don't want to, but it's really flattering.

Thanks, Frank. I've just started the hunt for the righ bp meds, and I'm not looking forward to it. (My dad told me yesterday that it took him two years to find anything that worked. Joy.)
Just to balance out your skewed data pool, it took me about 3 months. (And actually, the first 2 BP drugs I tried *did* bring my BP down; they just also had intolerable adverse effects, like passing out and extreme exhaustion.)
I am glad they are looking for other causes -because quite likely there is something else. but I will say for those of us that shot up to the stratosphere with the bp - the medication worked pretty quickly.
Well, as they keep telling me insistently, I'm too young to have high blood pressure like this.
Not really. I mean, you aren't typical, but you aren't a Freak Of Hypertension, either.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hee. I just got my message from Jilli.
I did not talk to the boy. Well, I took him back to the visitor's center. That was it.

Well, I usually carry through on my threats. If they involve calling people, that is.

Drat. I still think you should have talked to him.

God, yes. Cloni-something was guaranteed to knock me out an hour and a half after taking it. I'd be working away and realize I'd been asleep for a couple of minutes. I had to time when I drove because I didn't dare within the half-hour narcolepsy timeframe.

For some reason today I have a flood of spam with zip attachments. Dozens of them. This one from "admin@fbi.gov" was particulary amusing. Gee, do you think I should open the zip file?

I got that one today too. We must be on a watch list.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I liked Elizabeth. But then, I know NOTHING of the history. Nadda. I know Anne Boelyn's story and that's about it. I know so little, that when watching it for the first time, I asked Joe, "Why do they keep calling her 'Mary of Guise'? Why didn't they call her 'Mary, Queen of Scots'?" Joe replied, "Cause they're diffrent people, babe."
I thought it was pretty but they REALLY REALLY screwed up the history. The point where William Cecil tells Elizabeth Robert Dudley is married and she acts all shocked--um, she already knew that and was a freakin' guest at his wedding. They kind of roll fathers and sons up into one person for the sake of the screen play and the events they depict in the order of the film were WAY out of synch with the real chronology.
I saw this in the theatre and walking out asking, "How can that screen writer sleep at night?" Yeah, I'm a Tudor snob.
ION, I'll probably have to have a laser fired into my eye.
I had that done to both eyes. It wasn't that bad. They gave me valium.

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

Did you have the lasik surgery? They discovered a little bit of bleeding at the back of my 'problem' eye.
I'm pretty sure I would require valium before I would be able to keep my eye open while they lasered it.
