Stephanie - I vote for mailing it. If you have it ready, already, that is. Send it, expecting it to be trashed. Then you can be pleasantly surprised when the call and say "where have you been all our lives"...
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I just created a livejournal for T (kozykat1, if anyone wants to friend her), and I am going to set up an IM account for her tonight when I see her. We're going out to spend a store credit I have. I am also taking the elder nephew out to dinner and a movie tomorrow. Must not cry. Must not cry. Must not cry.

Always Anti-fascist!
Why not? It's natural enough. Of course, as Frank McCourt says, your bladder could move near your eye. I know...you want to be happy for them. Not sad for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cry, sj. You're sad.

I have been, when I am at home, but I really don't feel I can cry in front of my nephew right now. He has had to deal with a lot of changes over the past year (new baby brother (who needed heart surgery), new school because his closed down. He is a sensitive kid, and I don't want to make this harder for him.
I know...you want to be happy for them.
Also, this. Tal is very excited and nervous. I don't want to make her feel guilty. So instead, we are going to see if we can find her new dishes on sale tonight.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Even Alton Brown has days when something he cooks makes him think, "What WAS I thinking?"
In fact, the more I think about it, the more likely I think it that he went in search of information about the hows and whys of what works in the kitchen, thus bringing us his lovely show, because of one or more huge goofs.

If I only had a brain...
Grrr, argh. A co-worker was doing a powerpoint presentation (!) to introduce herself to her and my new team. She asked me if I wanted a slide, and I said no, I'm not really a PowerPoint person, I prefer to talk face-to-face.
End result? She made a six-page PP presentation, including one page of her suggested documentation improvements, which left me precisely one minute to give my talk.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
That's what you get for not adhering to her API, Betsy.
edit: I'm so afraid of being misinterpreted that I usually use winkys, but I gather that Buffistas loathe them.

I work for a software company. I would expect to lose considerable face if I presented myself via PowerPoint.
