If we instituted a virtual cuss jar we could make the money and put a down payment on the island within six months.
We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

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

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
If we instituted a virtual cuss jar we could make the money and put a down payment on the island in about six months...
A friend of mine and her husband had one of these. Each cuss cost a quarter. One time when I was at their house, she pinged him on three (rather minor) offenses. Eventually he had to leave to meet someone. On his way out the door, he called out:
"Honey, I'm putting a dollar in the fucking jar."

Anyhow, I have a feeling that $2400 won't be hard to raise, and as someone upthread pointed out, a year isn't all that long.

Just what the fuck do you mean by that, Bitch?

Just chiming in to agree with pretty much all the non-Geekies/Stompies who trust them to make the best desicion, with pretty much each and every one of us who thanked Kristen, and still wishing I could find a way to contribute my NIS-to-$$ to the board, somehow.

Oh also, I know you guys want some time to investigate your options and all but if we could have a timetable as to when you're going to make a decision and move and yadda yadda yadda, I'd be most appreciative. I'd like to minimize the financial hit as much as I can.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My dislike of the deadline, FTR, has nothing to do with IH, much less Kristen. There's really no reason for them to bother giving us a deal anyway.
If we come to a clear agreement by 12pm Friday, then it's all good. I don't want, however, to rush madly to a decision by then.

How's a week, at the outside, to hash all of this out?

A week sounds good. At which time we can figure out the next part of the timetable.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, we should be able to hash something out by then.
