You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I vote perv

So what's new?

Wally report! Back from a lunch date. I had a great time, very relaxing, easy conversation. She seems to find my impresions of various accents very funny, so that's a good sign. (The laydees are allowed to laugh. Just not to point and laugh.) She was born in Moscow, and still has a (fairly mild) accent. One possible issue: she's 23. She made sure to mock me about my age, so that's ok, but still.

Which reminds me, I owe a phone call to the 20-year old I met speed dating.

So, check it out. The first of my rare Magic cards is being sold on e-bay, now. And look at the bid price already, with three days left to go. I think I'ma gloat a little.

IME, books are only worth the time if they're genre books. Or rare ones, maybe, but I don't have those. I've sold a pair of shoes or two, some dvds, a couple of tsotchkes. Jilli does clothing sometimes, doesn't she?

I think when it comes to clothes/shoes, the amount of wear is what's important. It has to look brand new, even if it isn't.

I'm getting the pig!

Tep - insent!

Sail, that's mighty impressive! Go you!!

Personally, I ebay because I have a horrible habit of buying clothes without trying them on and then I forget to return stuff that doesn't fit to my liking. Or I'm too lazy to return them. The latter is probably more true. Oh, I've also sold things that were given to me as gifts. Plus, I need cash and less belongings.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Plus, I need cash and less belongings.

And *I* have cash and need black kickass heels! See how well that works out?

Works out great for me. Thanks, Tep! Hoping you'll love them as much as I did. Prior to walking in them, that is. I'm fine with walking in chunky heels, fine with 4 or 5" heels, fine with platforms. Who knew that when you put them all together it would equal me almost breaking an ankle.

Ah well. I'll just be sitting here patiently (ha!) waiting for Tep to post some pics of her wearing said kickass heels. swoon They're boxed and ready to go tomorrow morning. Best sale I ever made.

Bless the Bitches and sweet dreams to you all, as I'm off for bed. Night!

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

You mean this guy? Yeah. Maybe he'll wear the costume again too.

Woo! I vote we see him in more costumes...

d, like the others I hope that you've seen the last of hard times. I'm sorry things are sucking and hope they get better right soon.

MG (hope I'm responding in the right thread), ask the lawyer what recourse you have. It doesn't hurt to ask. Man, I hate insurance companies. Mine has been dicking me around (UHC is much worse than Blue Shield ever was) and I'm having vivid fantasies of kidnapping CEOs, hurting them and making them apply for help via my same insurance plan...

Have a gig on Thursday night. I have an accompanist but there was at least one number I was going to have to play myself because it was too late to teach it to him. I nipped my left middle finger in the back gate tonight. Damnit. I think it's just bruised a bit but it makes something that's already hard for me a little harder. Nuts.

Now I'm back home, every insurance company covers every qualified practitioner (assuming you have cover for that service). Of the things that pissed me off with the American system, this was probably the biggest.
