In the South, there's rarely the opportunity to avoid through drink. We had dreadful sweet pink champagne for a toast, and that was it.
Oh, man, that's just sad! Weddings should be drink-ably avoid-able!
My entire body feels like someone beat the crap out of me, or something. This MAY have to do with the fact that I was on my feet for rehearsal from about 10AM til 5pm, and then for the show from 7pm til midnight...and then danced until 3AM...and then got up for brunch this morning real early....But OMG, good times. Though the moment of "OMG everyone I've slept with in the past several years is within five feet of me" was veyr very odd. I took a nap after brunch, but that just made my tummy unhappy, it did not seem to help the "my brain has secretly been replaced with a sack of sand" feeling...
Also, have to say I think they put osmething in the water in Canada, they're all so hot! And in Vancouver, they put extra "really amazing dancer" stuff in the water. Cause damn.
don't understand the economic forces that make a mortgage payment significantly higher than rent on a similar property, but it seems to be happening around here
Here in DC as well. Partly that some of the people renting out bought their houses a whiel back, so they can afford to charge less rent. And partly that if you buy, you can expect tax breaks and shit, and hope for equity...
highly recommend working in a mostly Latino school. The food for class parties is copious and delicious, everyone dances at parties, and tequila cures depression, ennui and the common cold!
Sounds like fun!
she only works one day a month, and I've never met her, but she's done that one day a month for 15 years.
How do I get a job where I only work one day a month? WTF?

So she's had 180 days of work over 15 years. No wonder you've never met her.
somebody (the Romans, I think) used to execute condemned criminals by throwing them in a river tied in a sack. With an ape, a dog, and a snake in the sack, too, so that the animals' panciked attempts to escape imminent drowning also sped the condemned to their doom.
Right, that was for patricides, I think. Slaves got strangled, citizens got killed with a sword unless their crimes were so terrible that they needed special treatment. Foreigners could be crucified or whatever.
I have done no laundry, but I had a nice lunch with my folks and chatted with my brother, who is fine but had to listen to gunfire all night, poor noodle.

This somehow makes it stranger. For most capital crimes, you just get stuck with a sword. But if you kill your dad, you have to get the crap beaten out of you by an ape, mauled and probably bit by a dog, and poisoned repeatedly by snake bites (one suspects they shoved the snake down the condemned's pants, so as to make it "snake bites to the nads), all while drowning.
yay - all the laundry is put away - except , DH keeps doing laundry. doesn't he know that that makes more laundry to put away?
All of the Kim Possible fans must watch "Cap'n Drakken".

Well, yeah, just dying is too easy. Parricide was, like, the worst crime there was in Rome so it had to have a punishment that was literally a fate worse than (just) death. If you killl your father you will seiously suffer, is the idea. You aren't even allowed to kill yourself to escape it.
Wait -- did people who were committing the particide kill their father via the ape/snake/dog/drown method, or was that the method of punishing the person who killed his father?

Conventional wisdom is that if your mortgage payment would be 20% of higher than your rental payment, rent. The places I've been looking at are 80% higher than rental.
That's one reason for not buying now, acutally. We would probably have to rent the place out after a couple years, and would still be paying almost a whole normal mortgage ourselves.
Mallory, throwing subtlety to the winds, has realized that if he bangs the crap stereo in the housing unit into the wall enough, it will reset to the first track, which is the one he likes to dance to (Rasputina, fwiw).
