So it's National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Please check out this awesome video of Navajo ladies from the Winslow Indian Health Care Centers dancing to Katy Perry for the Pink Glove Dance Competition. Then make sure to like the video to vote for them so they can win funding for the Cancer Centers of Northern Arizona. The clinics featured in the video, Winslow and Leupp, serve the exact areas where I work. Our population is low, so it's going to take lots of you guys outside of the area to vote for them and share the video on social media. [link]
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

And since that vote passed, it’s time to start the 2012 F2F process! West coasters, it’s your year. You have between now and November 20th to sell us on why your city is the city we should gather in next spring/summer. Post your initial interest, do your research to give us some hotel options (or just pick the best one and focus on it), and decide which two weekends you would like to propose to go with your city. We will vote at the end of November. (I didn’t realize that with the shift in dates the week we’d said we’d vote this year is Thanksgiving--we should probably wait until the following week to vote.)
PIMP YOUR WEST COAST CITY, BUFFISTAS!
All discussion will take place in F2F. If you’re interested in potentially attending the F2F next year, you may want to subscribe to the thread during this month to participate in (or just observe) the conversation.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Those of you who have been in Bitches and the Delurker threads recently may have seen that our dear Deena has been having a difficult time of it lately. Her health has gotten much worse and she has had to shut down Drollerie Press and stop working as a result. So, a few of us have evilly conspired to try to do something nice for her to cheer her. I will be collecting funds through paypal at my profile address through November 1st. If anyone wishes to send me a check, please e-mail me for my home address.
Discussion of what exactly we should send will continue in Bitches. Deena, if you're still lurking, don't peek if you want to be surprised.

Last Call for Participants in the Gift Exchangamadoodle.
Right now we are at 16 confirmed. I think a few more of you responded to inquiries from me and I may not have gotten you added.
Here is the link if you want in, go and join the merry gang of exchangamadoodlers:
ALSO! if you are an exchangamadoodler and you want to give me restrictions on who you get, email me. I already have it set so that no one should get who they got last year. ALSO ALSO, you can do the wish lists and the info on all the elfster site, so no one else has to be the keeper of the data on what you like and what you don't and what the what what what what.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
DC-, Baltimore-, and other local-istas, mark your calendars for brunch on Sunday, November 6th. We will be sending the vibrant, voluptuous, vivacious, and vital Vortex off to the wilds of suburban Connecticut with three of her favorite things: friends, food, and mimosas.
Discussion to take place in F2F. More details tomorrow....

More details:
Vortex has suggested Masa 14, which has a unlimited prix fixe brunch (including unlimited brunch beverages) for $35/person. Menu here: [link]
We are under no obligation to follow her suggestion, so if anyone has other ideas, make your way to F2F and let's discuss. I would like to finalize location and head count as soon as possible in order to ensure there's adequate space for us.
Time-wise I was thinking around 11 am/12 noon, which gives the suburban DC and Baltimore folks time to get downtown without getting up at the crack of dawn on a Sunday.
