A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Hey, all, I am doing some freelance work, and my first job is putting together a Greek trip informational packet, with also a side trip to Turkey.

I seem to remember that a Buffista was stationed in Greece (Raq, maybe? I'm getting old) and I would love to get some information on must-see places (sites, hotels, islands, restaurants, other awesome things to do, see experience) from people who have actually BEEN there, in addition to information I find out.

My profile addy is good. Anyone who's been to Greece or Turkey and has ANY information at ALL on those places, please send me an email at my profile addy. The job is due in a week.

Thank you, and send me your address if you want some goodies in exchange for helping me out! Yay! My first freelance job!

If anyone has some ~ ma to spare today, my brother and his wife have their INS interview today and are flipping out like mammals. (Sure, they've been together for 10 years but what does that mean? Could still be a green card scam, you know.)

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

I'm going to be travelling later this month. I'll be in:

Amsterdam from 21 August to 24 August
Oslo from 25 August to 27 August
London from 28 August to 02 September

...and I'm thinking seriously about taking the train from London to Paris for a day-trip, probably on the 31st.

Anyone in the area interested in meeting F2F?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I have arrived in Florida safe & sound.

Took the Eastern route. South of the Border is all I dreamed and less. Sort of amazed you can get there without a TARDIS.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I revised certain sections of a book proposal at the request of a senior editor, because I assumed too much knowledge on the part of the readers. The revised section is very short, and I wonder if anyone who is NOT knowledgeable in fields of economics and global warming is willing to glance at it and tell me if it is clear. While all feedback is welcome, if you don't want to spend a lot of time all I really need to know is if it is clear to someone who knows nothing or very little about those two subjects. Profile addy is good.

[on edit] I realized that the length is 2,800 words. So definitions of short may vary.

[on edit the next day] Revision done with much appreciated help by Erika

A request for some of the patented job~ma tomorrow at 11:30 AM EST, I have an interview. Job's okay, not great, but will get me on a good path.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I'd really appreciate some health~ma for my brother, please. He had a seizure at work yesterday (which, unlike me, has never happened to him). Turns out he has a lesion on his brain. Further tests to follow this week to determine what it is: cancer, an infection, or something else. I'm still getting brief updates. They're moving him from ICU to a regular room later today.

move out and draw fire

Not even in the same league as amyth's request, but if you have some it's-nothing~ma, I could use it. There's a lump, and while I don't think it's anything, still, lump.

The Zmayhem are off to attend a wedding over the weekend, and will have limited computer access.

See y'all when we get back.

Always Anti-fascist!

Mom is going to the dermatologist because she is concerned about something on her arm. It's probably not a big deal, but -ma never hurts.
