I don't always answer the phone, but when I, for example, hear my husband through the answering machine saying "Pick up" in an aggravated voice and I'm on the other end of the house, the phone should be able to transmit my intention to, in fact, pick up.

My wedding was $1000. That was the sum total of money us and our folks could come up with. It was fine, and better than most.
Of course, I just sat through a new-employee investment seminar about how to put money away for your child's wedding. @@@ (yes, I'm rolling 3 of my eyes at that).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Do you put money away for your child's wedding before or after you put money away for their college education?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Probably depends if they're a girl or boy.

I'm supposed to make one for a birthday dinner tomorrow, and I can't get ahold of my mother to get the awesome coconut-laced one.
I don't suppose your mother's is Five-Cup Salad.
1 cup sour cream
1 cup unsweetened pineapple chunks
1 cup mandarin oranges
1 cup sweetened coconut
1 cup marshmallows
I use low-fat sour cream or yogurt. With everything else, you really can't tell.

So, I'm watching the end of Two and a Half Men, and the Tivo stops on the little end bit where Chuck Lorre writes something or other, and it says
November 8, 2006. I'm relieved that he's reached across the aisle to fight global warming. I'm delighted that he's worked to reduce the cost of minimum wage, reduce the cost of pharmaceutical drugs, improve the infrastructure, and bring accountablilty to the school system. My problem,and let me state for the record that i's my problem, not his, is simply this: Whenever I hear the governor of California speak, I find myself nervously looking around for a train that will take me to Poland.
MESSED UP. I mean, the man was born Charles Levine, and probably Jewish, but he was born in 1952. Now, God knows that I'm no fan of Arnold, but that's a horrible thing to say about the guy just because he has an Austrian accent.

MESSED UP
Yeah, but possibly sincere. If Lorre drives a Mercedes or BMW, though, I call shenanigans.

I also hate my apartment mgmt. I should have moved. I should have bought. But, people and inertia. Damnit.

the market is coming back down sara. Maybe this year is the year!

Except if BRAC continues apace here, this local market will at least maintain if not increase. And I have no fucking clue what to do with my life and buying on that prospect scares the financially conservative me. As well as the commitment-phobe. And, well, my fucked up inertia. Which should be shot, but anyway.
But I appreciate the cheering!
