I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

My insurance company is coming to interview me today. Why are they doing that? They haven't done that for any previous accidents. I hate this. Really resisting the urge to go hide under my bed.

{{sj}} I choose to think of this as them doing you a favor. Before they arrive, you might want to take five minutes to make a drawing of the accident. It might help you keep your thoughts composed. They're likely to ask you to draw one, anyway, and I'd find it easier to do without someone looking over my shoulder asking questions.

Probably because your accident involved an ambulance, rather than an individual.

Sparky, when did you turn into my boyfriend. I don't draw very well at all, but I'll try.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Googling seems to indicate that pav bhaji is a spicy mashed vegetable sandwich. Is that right, P-C?

Pretty much. Mashed potatoes and tomatoes and onions and peas (well, the peas aren't so much mashed). With bread, which is the pav.

That convention sure sounds interesting. Huh. It would be a better chance of finding an Americanized woman, which is what I want. I can't have some wife from India who's never even heard of Veronica Mars or Groundhog Day.

All is well that ends in pizza.

sj, you don't need much, just basic streets, and position of your car. and the ambulance. Make them rectangles, even.

I need sentence help! I am trying to finish this sentence:

The current opportunities available for you and your fellow leaders at [company]to make their mark on this new facility and the next generation of [university] graduates are exciting and plentiful.

I like the way it starts out, but I can't figure out how to punch it up at the end (the current lame wording I want to change is in bold)

Sparky, when did you turn into my boyfriend.

My DH is going to be so upset. Then again, teacup guy is a cutie, so it could be worse. I could turn into a cockroach overnight.

As, DCJ says -- keep it simple. Rectangles for cars, an arrow to show the path of the ambulance, and an asterisk or two to show the spot on each of your vehicles where you came together. It will just give you something to focus on when trying to explain what happened to the agent.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I hate that kind of thing too, sj.

I once had to try to draw, on the insurance company's form that had streets and intersections and a list of little symbols to use, the accident in which a deer leapt from the side of the road onto the hood of my car.
