Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

move out and draw fire

What Aimee said, Toddson.

The grocery store near me now sells Fernet Branca. It's shelved between the Jaegermeister and the ouzo, which is probably correct.

Compassionately intolerant

I'm completely with Aimee, Todd. Your coloring is so striking!

Heh, that sounds about right.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

That is totally correct.

Toddson, I love your haircolor, but I understand about the job-hunt thing. And yes, something a little lighter would look fantastic on you.

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

Your hair is so beautiful, Toddson! Talk to your stylist about how you can get back to your natural shade before you dye it, he'll probably be able to recommend a shade that will allow you to change it subtly.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I'm with Aimee on Todd's hair, too. I think it's beautiful.

If you do end up coloring it, you'll need to touch up the roots with every haircut. I get my hair done every 6 weeks (standing appt.). That includes a cut and color (typically just of my roots). Then every 3rd appt, I do all over color and highlights.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Thanks for the advice! I'll have to discuss it with my hair guy.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

You know what's wrong? I was in North Carolina several months ago and visited the Duke campus, where I purchased a Duke notebook. I'm using said notebook for my statistics class. Due to the recent Duke rape scandal, I find that I hide the cover of the notebook. I have a black friend in the class that I'm even more careful of the notebook around. I never intended to make a political statement when purchasing a university trinket while on vacation, damn it! Do others get this crazy about such things or is it just me?

Ann, that's a ferret.

The police non profit people are RUDE. Extremely seriously rude.

Catching up -- I find that they tend to go away politely when I tell them that there's no extra money because of health problems in the family. It was actually true when I started using it soon after Hubs' mother was diagnosed with cancer.

And GC, I tend to get embarrassed over similar things.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Has anyone said anything to you about it? If not, why hide it? In all honesty, as bad as the rape scandal was, I'd be surprised to find anyone outside of NC that cares enough to give you shit about a notebook.
