That sounds like a cluestick might not be enough, askye. Perhaps come IV clue directly into the jugular.
What's the situation with the unendorsed checks, WindSparrow? Deposited through an ATM?
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

[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.

Oh, God, Nora, I'm so sorry.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Hm, askye, the only suggestion I'd have would be to stop him at every single pronoun and vague unfinished thought until he either learns to be preemptively specific or just stops calling you again, ever. All polite and bright and apologetic, but incessant. Like:
"They aren't coming, I called but they aren't coming, they said it'll be tomorrow before they can come and fix it."
"They [Sorry, but they who?] aren't coming [Sorry, but aren't coming where?], I called [Sorry, but who did you call?] but they [Sorry, but is this the same they?] aren't coming, they said [Sorry, but who said?] it'll be tomorrow before they can come and fix it [Sorry, but fix what?]."
But, in general, ugh.
-t, I'm so sorry. And it doesn't even matter that your MIL didn't hear about the second miscarriage. She already knows there was one wanted pregnancy and one miscarriage, and if she had a grain of common sense she'd just assume that you must either (a) be trying again, or (b) have a damn good reason for not trying again, or for not talking about the trying, and she'd HUSH UP. If you bring her into SF at any time during her visit and she crosses my path, consider this fair warning that cluesticking may occur, with an actual stick.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That sucks, Nora. Come 'round my house tonight and I'll buy you and Tom a beer. Maybe Tom needs a martini tonight?
Beej! You got the kissing disease. It is good to have a solid diagnosis though and it's treatable and now you won't have to linger in the land of perpetually exhausted and crap-feeling. I'm wrapping you in the comfy blanket of heal-ma and giving you a steaming cup of all-better-now.
SA is packing and watching What A Girl Wants for the Colin-porn (Tux? Check. Leather pants? Check. Snarky asides? Check. General Colin-ness? Check). She's lunching with Deb (even though we just had a late breakfast) and then I'm taking her to CalTrain at 5ish so she can scoot down to stay with Perkins over the weekend.

Heh.

All those who don't want to be at work, but elsewhere pursuing other things or just slounging, raise your hands!
Hands raised.Unfortunately I have nowhere to run (the downside to being self-employed and operating out of your home.
Stoopid deadline.
Also, I'll raise a hand for Jilli too, cos I know she's hard at work at the EE.

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.
What's the situation with the unendorsed checks, WindSparrow? Deposited through an ATM?Taking it up to the counter to a teller, with a deposit slip for that person's account. I'm feeling too lazy to stop by my bank for cash, and still want to get this done before the next time the person would have a chance to sign the check I would write.
