It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Thrive to spite them

The tapas sounds good, but I'll echo what Matt said about having vegetarian options.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

So, we're looking at $50/person for tapas, drinks + dessert [there seem to be 4 veggie options on the "choose 5" hors d'oeuvres unless I am misinterpreting the descriptions], more than that for just the space in the hotel and we'd need to provide our own food and clean up after, and a la carte, buy as you consume at Manuel's? Is that right?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thanks, brenda. I'm thinking of taking a quick trip there at some point.

Our wings are not tired.

I don't drink whiskey and I'm unsure what our plans are Friday night, but would be interested once I can find out from DH. Was there discussion of something happening Thursday evening with Ginger. I'll bring flash cards just in case. (Ginger, you have to get better!!)

Prom is looking pricey, particularly with the x2. Guess I could leave DH in the room. ;)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Wish I could make the whiskey, but won't be there till Friday dinner time.

Ah, just got this notice from Cafe Press:

Dear Shopkeeper,

Over this past weekend we experienced a redundant system failure that resulted in the corruption of a number of images, deeming many unprintable. Essentially, this means that an image server and its backup both failed, and Shopkeeper images were potentially damaged.

Unfortunately, one or more of your images are affected. We are currently working to restore images, and in the meantime you’ll notice that some of your designs show as pended* in your media basket, and are not salable within your stores or in the Marketplace.

Over the next few days we will be removing the pending* status from images as they’re fixed. Our goal is to restore as many as possible, and we anticipate knowing the full results of our work later in the week. We will send a follow-up email to report our status at that time.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.

Sincerely,
CafePress

* Pended Images: Generally images are pended as a result of content usage violations. The images pended as a result of this work will be highlighted in red within your Media Basket in your account information, and will appear no different from those pended for content usage reasons. Please note that images pended for content usage reasons will not be removed from pending status as a result of this process.

I see my timing is up to its usual Murphy's Law standards.

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

My last batch of pictures is here.

And I'm very sorry to say that I'm not going to make it to Atlanta. I'm done with air travel for a little while.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

And I'm very sorry to say that I'm not going to make it to Atlanta.

What?? No! I refuse to accept this!

OK, so did this picture cause a rift in the cute-time continuum?

Awesome pics, Tom! I really like the ones you took in the Freedom Museum, they turned out very well.

Bummed you won't make it to Atlanta, but I think I can sympathize with the not wanting to get on a plane again, soon. So maybe you should drive!
