Seems to be better. Thank goodness.
I'm off to return my DigiTrace equipment. Don't have too much fun without me!
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

[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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Went by the bank and explained the situation. They made the deposit, but are mailing the deposit slip directly to Emily, so as not to give me the number. And they said the cash would be available immediately. So, all is well.Oh good. Now try that breathing and drinking at slightly different times.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
do people try to S your Z?
Yup. My favourite was being told I both pronounced and spelt my name wrong. Some people just don't like to embrace new things.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

For the record, anybody who wants to put money in my account is free to do so.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Years ago I called my father's office and had his secretary try to correct my pronounciation of his name. I loved answering "And who may I say is calling" with "his daughter".
Granted, his name is foreign and many people mess it up, but that should be up to him to correct, not his assistant.

Mmmm, Suzi-Qs were my favorite junk food snack in the world! The sugar rush from the cream filling in those was beyond that of a 32oz. Big Gulp Mountain Dew. I can get down with the name change, it fits perfectly as far as I'm concerned.
vw, glad to hear everything worked out at the bank, money can be such a PITA even if it is fun to spend on clothes and stuff.

I expect grief with my first name, and so am especially aggrieved when people get shirty about my PERFECTLY NORMAL middle name.

So now I'm a junk food. Not sure how I feel about that. I'm definitely not sugary sweet.

I'm getting the pig!
Are you back home now, Sail?
My only complaint is when people spell my name with an H. Or call me Nikki.
