If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Oof, Tom. Sounds not-pleasant.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Eek, Tom! Good luck.

Thanks, Victor! I just saw that I can get a flight for $125, so that may be it. Now I can worry about being stuck with my boss and her boss in a car for an hour.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Ick. Yeah, only Song flies into Worcester. (Although Providence is actually slightly closer, if you're already driving.)

Presence of bosses negate chances of lunch/dinner/whatever, I take it?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I hope it passes quickly, with no loss of job, Tom.

Maybe not! I will check the actual conference schedule and get back to you guys if I can get away. It's not til mid-Sept, so plenty of time.

Hope everything works out, Tom.

One of the more amusing dumb criminal stories I heard was from my hometown from about 15 years ago. Apparently, some guy decided to break into a bunch of cars that were parked in a street in his subdivision and steal radios/CDs/whatever was lying around. Then, he decided to walk home with his loot. The police caught him the next morning. How, do you ask? Well, all they had to do was follow the trail his feet left in the snow that had fallen just before he went on his little crime spree.

What is even happening?

Oh, Tom. May it pass quickly, and smoothly for you.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Good luck, Tom.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Keep you head down, Tom.

My hair is fairly short right now and I'm thinking something retro with little curls in the back and squished down bangs for my sister's wedding. I guess I should curl it all and then squish appropriately... but how do you make the wee ones?

Pin curls, darling. Use a setting lotion, wind it around your finger (but don't twist the hair while you're doing it), then use an alligator clip. You can let it air dry, or use a blowdryer on a low setting with a diffuser on.

If you do standing pin curls they'll fuller and rounder. If you do standard pin curls (the curl is pinned flat against the head) then it'll be more of a tight retro wave.
