Omnis, send your gamertag to ND and to my profile addy.

:: looks for babelfish... wonders if they work in eyes for reading ::

er..um... pardon the Xbox ignorance. What is Gamertag? I'll be playing up at ND's place. The profile name is omnisaudis or omnis_audis or omnis audis (can't remember if I put a flavor of space or not).

omnis,

If you click on Pete's name in his post, it will take you to his Buffista profile. In it, he has an e-mail address listed. I can't help you with your gamertag (but I think he's asking you for what name you play under or want to play under).

I think all the Buffista sprog share the beams. It's like the Toddler Cabal.

There must be some truth to this, as not only does Mal show a preference for my Smashbox and Urban Decay cosmetics, yesterday he demanded to wear my silver wire tiara all day.

One of my coworkers just bought a $3000 cellphone. [link] OK, $2500. And he claims he got it for $1500. I get crabby if I have to pay for a cellphone. Clearly I am losing my techgeek cred.

Of course, he also has a subscription to Vanity Fair, so he is a bit more of a fashionista than I.

ETA: I'm running away for the rest of the day, as the internet terminal is next to the TV, and yet another coworker has Bill O'Reilly playing quite loudly, and it's making me want to kill somebody.

That phone looks awful. I'd rather have D&G's gold razr than that crappy looking thing.

Not sure how these dolls would help with potty training.

Hershey's Kisses were good potty training incentives for us. At first we gave them one, each time they tried. Once they started having successes, they got them only for the successes, not the tries.

Thank you for drawing the connection between the Poo doll and a Hershey's Kiss.

You know, I think one way to tell that your nation is in a bad way is when the senior aide for a very senior senator ends every paragraph in his email with Lol. Not even LOL.

I really want to respond with "I'm in UR Congress, makin' UR lawz!!!"

Info: The precise moment of the 2006 solstice will be December 21, 2006 at 7:22 P.M. EST (Dec. 22, 00:22 UT).

Fact: It's raining here in Minnesota.

OTOH? It'll likely turn to snow around the time of the solstice.

Happy Solstice Day!

Kara will not be getting handcuffs, not even magician ones. She has let the bunny out of house arrest and has turned the pipe cleaner cuffs into a tiara.

I heart Kara.

GC, your neice and nephew are just beautiful.

I finished almost all of the rest of my Christmas errands done yesterday, which is good because today I woke up with awful cramps and don't want to do anything. I am looking for the motivation to bake cookies and brownies. Maybe another cup of tea will help me find it.

Happy Solstice, everyone. I know I can't wait to get the orb back...
