Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

[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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That is absurdly cute, Raq.

vw, did they specify a page length? If not, you're good. My one word of caution is that they probably don't read the whole thing as a rule, so be sure to open strong and end with a power statement. If they are interested after the initial skim, they will read the whole thing.

Mostly lurking...

Nope, they didn't. Good to know. Thanks!

Sure vw. It's one of the things I tend to do at my job, look over personal statements.

Curses, I need to start digging through my pile of unfiled receipts so I can do that, too. Quit being an overachiever and making the rest of us look like slackers, Suzi!

Sail, it is the first time in YEARS I have not waited until the last minute, even though I knew we were due a refund. I worked for H&R for too many years and HATE the process. But this year, we need the $$$, so I'm hoping filing early equals quick refund.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Thanks to Turbo Tax, I tend to do my taxes as quickly as our paperwork comes in. If I had to do it on paper, I'd still be putting it off.

I can't find my digital camera. I think it's still in the bag we brought home from the hospital. The pictures I took with my camera phone are too dark to post.

Turbo Tax rocks my socks.

Congrats Cash, I'd say I'm waiting patiently for pics of sweet Olivia Rose, but um, my tagline says it all.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Congratulations, Cashmere!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hello, Cash! Olivia Rose is a gorgeous name. What does Big Bro think of this new development?
