Erin, my deepest sympathy to your friends. I'm so sorry.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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
Erin, that is so awful. Poor parents, poor baby.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm so sorry, Erin. (And Sparky is wise.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Now, I know that the whole point of the Amazon Gold Box is to offer you special deals on things realted to other things that you have purchased in the past.
However.
I think it should be based on what's on your own wish list.
Why?
Because it's quite annoying to have to weed through all of the Terry Pratchett novels, books on Celtic mythology, guides on how to be a Good Wicca, only to realize that you have missed the opportunity to buy tht red Prada wallet you always wanted at a huge discount.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I think it should be based on what's on your own wish list.
I wonder why it's not. That seems to be the most sensible way to ensure that you'll actually want something in there.

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 had Prilosec in my Gold Box. What does that say about me? Dear heavens.

Hey. New board.
In continuation of my internet flirtations, I have a date right now. Wish me luck.
ETA: I skipped to post this, natch. Busy day. Shall try to catch up later.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I think it's based on what's overstocked in the warehouse. Stuff that's on your Wish List, you'd probably buy (or have someone buy for you) without the Gold Box discount. It's shit they're trying to get rid of, not necessarily shit it thinks you might want.

Erin, much ~ma to your friends. That's just so terribly sad.
I always thought the Gold Boxes should have, well, gold in them in different amounts. And rather than go through them one by one, you can only pick one of them and that's what you get. A reward for being a good customer!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's very distressing, Erin.
Sheesh, if it weren't for Scrappy's birthday, I'd just about cancel August this year.
PAGING HEC - I am to get my hairs cut by the lovely Monica at Zip Zap tonight. Should I continue with my current style? Is there another style I should try that will allow me to have the long bits in my face, as is Right And Proper?
I think the key thing to remember are these words: "I'd like to look even more like an anime character!"
You might try either going slightly assymetric, with shorter layers on the side where you part it. I do like the rucked up in back look you sport, but tapering it back there would be an interesting change and it'd be back to ruckable length in about a month.
Looser variation on the mod. Very hip and casual.
Let's see what Shirley Manson's been doiing.
