No quizzes for me. I just finished about 1/2 the paperwork I needed to get done tonight. Tomorrow should be interesting.
I also hope for no more fainting.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Sigh: Today is our in-house Continuing Legal Education program. So I get to spend much of the day listening to people I see every day talk about things that I either know more about than they do, or have absolutely no connection with. And it isn't like I need the CLE credits -- under my bar's rules, I'm exempt from the requirements because I practice out of state.
At least I can skip out of some of the presentations....

Poking head to post now (since I won't have any computer access this weekend) that, according to the Buffista Calendar, Saturday, the 5th, will be CaBil's birthday, and to send him early wishes.
Have a nice rest-of-the-week and a great weekend, everybody!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I got one wrong on the English test. I'm kinda pissed. It was a trick question!
I feel clearheaded so far this morning. Wish me luck.

Six of twelve on Dickens, which isn't bad considering I don't think I've ever read any. Not in twenty-some years, anyway.

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

Which question? Food for thought?

20/20 here. What was the trick question?

It wasn't really a trick question. I just thought that long lost (or long-lost) brothers deserved exclamation points even more than they deserve hyphens.
I was probably lucky with the spelling questions -- my spelling is pretty bad right now, and will continue to be for about a week. But they didn't have *my* particular misspellings of the words they offered up, so I was golden.
The math one was fun when I worked out how they wanted me to estimate things. And annoying when I didn't work out in time how they wanted me to.

More on avian flu:
1) A lot of the money is being spent on National Guard for quarantine. And he is giving authority go homeland security -useless and dangerous. 2)So far manadory licensing of Tanaflu does not seem to be happening. My feeling is have the feds give anyone able to produce it a license to do so, assume the liability for the copyright violation, and let the manufacturer sue the feds while the stockpile gets created. 3) On the optimistic side - a lot of deaths from flu are due to secondary infection. We have antibiotics, oxygen tanks and glucose drips to today - not available in 1918. So maybe death toll won't be as high when it happens.
