Hivemind question -- what's an appropriate monetary (or gift card) amount for a high school graduation? I was thinking $50, but I don't want to appear cheap. It's for my cousin, who I'm not terribly close to, but that's more a matter of distance and a 15 year age difference than my feelings for her.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Wowza! Lovely picture, ita!

I can picture her lying there and thinking that perhaps mosquitoes had been the better option.

Vortex, I think that's totally appropriate.

Ha! I had the same thought. It also made me wonder, are the mosquitoes really big in Israel, or was it more of a "West Nile virus/EEE carrier" kind of scared. Also, this:
"This kind of thing doesn't happen every day,"
Cracked me up something fierce.
Did we ever discuss what Nutty would be wearing in this contest?
I could swear that Doc Martins were mentioned at some point.

Agreed.
I've been up since 2:30. This is going to be a long day.

Vortex, I think that's good. Joe always scoffs at what I think is appropriate, but I think that's a good amount.

Since Nutty is a sensible sort, I'm figuring she'd be wearing the bear-proof armour that that Canadian inventor came up with.
I'm impressed with the leopard-wrestler, who remembered to be kind to animals...

Trust my rage
ION, my coworkers hate me. We've all been assigned "a box of cases a day". I've been able to do it because a) I'm good with Excel and b) I work fast, but now everyone's shooting me dirty looks and sort of bitching.
So, I'm wasting some time here today so I don't look like such a tool.

Trust my rage
No one wants to tell me I'm not a tool?

I hate workplaces where being good at your job makes people think you are a tool. It is not my fault I am smarter than you dumbasses!
