Job~ma for my husband, please. He has an interview tomorrow at 4 PM board time, which is his third since getting laid off two and a half years ago. It's not what he used to be doing, but what he did makes him a good candidate for it. They have to fill the position by Friday, too, so this one's going to move fast.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

OK, I have a favor to ask of someone...I'm doing a performance next Wednesday, and have decided I really need to do it in a corset. Sadly, though I've been nosing around Meschantes and ebay, I don't yet own one!! But I know a lot of Buffistas do. I'm willing to pay for shipping and a "rental" fee (and promise to send it back quickly!), would anyone be willing to loan one to me? I'm about a 12, an overbust would be best, but I'm willing to work with what anyone is willing to loan...help! Email me at yahoo, mearagirl, if you could help a girl out...
(Edit: And becuase Buffistas rock in precisely that fashion, I had three offers within minutes! Thanks guys!)

Apartment~ma, please. I received a notice yesterday that the new owners of my apartment building are adding $400 to my rent on February 1st. I have until January 31st to move.

For those who were worried about Polter-Cow, I just wanted to let you know that his auto-email response says this:
I am currently in India, and I will return to Ann Arbor on January 10.
The likelihood of my seeing your e-mail before then is slim, since the
last time I was there, they didn't even have toilets.
I believe our favorite tag-catcher was only in the northern part of India, but it's a little nerve-wracking to not know for sure. I just wanted to let everyone know that he's expected back on the 10th. Safety-ma to him and to his family, please...

The job~ma of Buffistas is strong, but my DH had to turn down the job offer he got at the end of the interview. The hours they wanted him to work were obscenely bad.
Better luck next time, eh?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Requesting some of that powerful Buffista ~ma for my mom, who had emergency surgery on Christmas, and for my sister and me, as we deal with the fallout. 2005 will not be a peaceful year, I suspect.

My uncle just went into the hospital. They don't know what's wrong, but he is unable to stand. An MRI came back normal. I would appreciate any healing ~ma for him, strength ~ma for my father (who will probably end up with much of the mental, emotional and physical care), and diagnostical ~ma for his doctors. Thank you so much.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Ugh. My grandfather had a mildish heart attack today, and his health insurance runs out tommorrow at midnight. It seems like everyone needs ~ma today, but if there is any super-speedy recovery~ma left sitting around they'd want to send him, it'd be much appriciated.
