Neighbor dog. So, a potentially even stickier situation. She doesn't really feel any animosity toward the dog, but if it's a biter, it should be put down, but she doesn't want to start a fight with her neighbors, blah blah blah.

OK. I have two hours in which I want to write approx. one page. Will I be able to get it done? Stay tuned!

Possibly the funniest Overheard in New York EVAR.

So that's a no on the "having started writing the page," huh?

On the other hand--that's pretty funny. Worthy of a sober person.

I'm like a quarter done. Or more. Depending on how you look at it.

I signed up with LinkedIn just a couple months ago. I haven't done all that much with it as it seems like a lot of the folks are networking for jobs I don't have the tech qualifications for. Jason E. from TT is there. I think his attitude was that it couldn't hurt.

100 Things They Didn't Know This Time Last Year:

99. The Japanese word "chokuegambo" describes the wish that there were more designer-brand shops on a given street.

I don't believe all of them, not nearly.

I have no plans to lick your face Jesse, not in the immediate future anyway. I may need to bite your nose though. stay tuned.

I was late to work, I was therefore late to my 9 am call. Feh.

I did, however, remember to bring in my breakfast and some lunch AND I listened to a bunch on my NPR podcasts on the way in, so I kinda got stuff done.

No word on if we have a short day today.

Mac snapped at my friend's little boy a few weeks ago. No biting--he stepped on her leg and she pulled back and snapped her jaws at him as a warning. But I nearly went off my head. Grabbed her by the scruff and took her down to the floor until she went limp.

I adore my dogs and I never leave Owen alone with them for a second but I still fear what I'd do if they ever bit him--it's why I have an elaborate maze of baby gates to keep them separate if I need to.

I can't believe the dog bit her in the nose! My friends son (who is 8) recently had that happen (completely unprovoked-- he was not even playing with the dog!) and it was her sister's dog. It was put to sleep, but certainly a hard situation.

As long as msbelle is here (as I think she is most likely to know)- Does anyone know anything about selling vintage sewing patterns or vintage clothing? I am looking to declutter and have at least 50 - 60 patterns from the 1940's - 60's and another 40 -50 from the 70's and 80's. I also have some very nice vintage clothing.

I don't really care if I make much money off the patterns, as most of them cost less than 25 cents, but some of the clothing is really nice. I am thinking e-bay, but since I have never sold there, I am a bit wary, since everything seems to be about ratings and I really have none (as all I have done is buy, like, 2 things)

Any advice?

I think e-bay would be your best bet. Do you look at Dress a day? [link] People seem to get good money for their vintage patterns.

Or maybe you could try selling direct to Erinaceous.;)
