Our own Erinaceous is on WGN radio at this very moment (couldn't log on here until now!).
I'll put up a link when tonight's show is archived. She did get in a plug for "foamy"!!
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

I have read this entire thread as it's gone along, but lately I retain next to nothing, so please forgive me if this has already been posted.
The Cigna Foundation (link ->) http://www.cignafoundation.org/ is donating a dollar to the Susan G. Komen Foundation (a breast cancer charity) if you go the the Cigna link above, and click on the pink ribbon.
Here's their explanation blurb:
The CIGNA Foundation is proud to support the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in its mission to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease.
During October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the CIGNA Foundation will donate $1 for every click on the pink ribbon to the left, up to $100,000. This gift will be part of our overall contribution to National Denim Day, which solely benefits the Komen Foundation.It's only through the end of this month, so please click away Buffistas. I know two people from the Buffy Fandom at large, fighting breast cancer specifically, out of 4 people I've met through the fandom living with any cancers/in remission from cancer - total.
As it's the month, it might be a good time to plug http://www.thebreastcancersite.com as well.
I originally had my wordy and poorly worded explanation of the breast cancer site. I'm editing here to give you their own words instead.
43,300 women are lost to breast cancer each year -- that's one mother, sister, daughter or friend every 12 minutes. Join The Breast Cancer Site's Chain of Hope, and help save lives.
In mere seconds and at no cost, you can help provide the lifesaving gift of early detection to underprivileged women.
Simply visit The Breast Cancer Site (http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/home) every day and click on the Fund Free Mammograms button to help fund free mammograms and reduce the number of lives lost to breast cancer.
Clicking is free. Funding for free mammography screenings is paid by site sponsors.
With your help, the lives of 2,000 underprivileged women -- or more -- will be touched in 2002 thanks to funding from The Breast Cancer Site. The sky is the limit! The more people who click, the more mammograms funded. Please join The Chain of Hope by clicking daily and spreading the word to your friends and family.

I am about to make a change to this site's design that may make posts appear in either a smaller or larger font size than what you're used to. What it should do is, instead of using MY predefined font size, it will now use the default font size of your browser (which can be changed within your browser's preferences. This should only affect the text within posts and maybe some text in random places like the how-to and etiquette. If you notice anything weird, post in BBaBB. If this change causes more problems than it solves, it's a simple matter to change it back.
This change should fix some IE and Netscape 4.X bugs that have been mentioned in BBaBB (read the recent posts in that thread if you want the gory details)

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

Support Firefly Kai Cole, designer, architect and wife of Joss Whedon, sent me the following link. Save Firefly If you are a fan of "Firefly," please go have a look. I'm planning to get up a letter-writing/phone-calling campaign tomorrow, using Save Farscape as my model. It will be much calmer than that because there hasn't been an official cancellation word, but their campaign has been very visible and I think it's early enough that some visibility might get Firefly the chance to be shown on another night. Monday, Wednesday or Thursday perhaps. Of course there are concerns about genre shows... I know Enterprise and Birds of Prey are on Wednesdays. What about Mondays and Thursdays? Are genre shows on then? I think mentioning the X-Files might go a long way with this one. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I should be on Instant Messenger for the greater part of tomorrow night (KibaRika) if anyone has ideas to contribute.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I am now, officially, a footnote in Business History!
Just got my copy of Jason Jennings' new book, "Less is More: How great companies use productivity as a competitive tool in business," in which I'm quoted and my work covering the lay-off crisis is covered!
One dull year as a business did not go to waste!
