Saw a report that in the UK more than 500,000 pounds had been scammed out of people by the Nigerian email last year. So much stupidity!

But it's free money! And so easy! AND you get to help a nice widow/child of a revolutionary hero/deserving upstanding person.

I bought some Hollywood Diet Cookies while I was impulse shopping yesterday (looking for allergy meds, so my resistance was way low and the thought of being on a cookie diet was so very appealing). Each cookie is supposedly like eating a whole meal. They are the only sweets I have around right now and I had an actual meal for lunch, so I probably shouldn't have meal replacing cookie for dessert.

Vanilla flavored Benadryl strip is kind of like dessert. That'll do.

I just made my first official step to applying to the MLS program--I faxed Marquette a request for my transcript to be sent to Champaign. Eeep!

Now to start filling out the application tonight, after I update my resume (I have to include that with the application).

Couple question: How much revealing do you expect from your SO? If their close friend tells them a secret, are you surprised if you don't hear it?

Conversely, when you say something offhand to one bit of a dyad, are you surprised when the other bit knows? If you frame it as a secret, is it with the understanding that, okay, the SO will hear too?

Saw this coming as clearly as the doll being guillotined on last night's Studio 60.

I finally woke up enough to realize exactly how bored I am.

shrift speaks for me, though I did have the added fun of getting to tell the entire office that because of network issues, they are SOL if they need me to do my job with anything like efficiency for at least 2 weeks.

For couples that are seriously committed or married, I assume that what one knows, the other knows. Not that every couple shares everything, but my expectation is that they may. Unless I specifically say "don't tell Partner." Now, just dating is a whole 'nother story.

In my own relationship, I can't think of any secrets we haven't shared, but we also tend to have low-drama family and friends, so not so many secrets, really.

I wimped out and am getting mr. flea to pick up the kids. He'll be later than the usual pickup, so now I have guilt. Joy.

Go, Kathy! Apply like the wind!

How does one join the Illuminati?

Bury $5,000 US in a cigar box in your back yard. Our underground agents will collect it shortly.

flea, you're sick, not wimpy.

Not that every couple shares everything, but my expectation is that they may. Unless I specifically say "don't tell Partner."

This. And even then, I wouldn't be shocked if they did, unless it was something SERIOUS. On the flip side, my girlfriends tell me things about their partners that I'm sure the partners think are secrets, if not explicitly so.

Go Kathy, go!
