Yup. Will be vibing for you and for good, effective, prompt treatment.

Can one be an amazing athlete without balance, though? Or, rather, what do you prioritise above it (note, I know nothing about this show)?

Oh, it's definitely needed, but the challenge was ENTIRELY about balance, and some of the stuff was stupid.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Yes, this.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

TLC shows this house-flipping show every day at 5PM, and watching it just gives me heart attacks. These people spent $85,000 on a kitchen! $350,000 to remodel the whole house!

And then I laugh because the housing market is soft and these greedniks take it in the shorts.

Yes, I'm cruel.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

They priced the house at $1,095,000!

It sat on the market for 3 months, they paid an extra $16,000 in mortgage costs, and sold it for $1,050,000. They profited almost $200,000, but still. Jesus.

I wonder how many flippers don't profit.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Ask Casey Serin, world's "most-hated" blogger, asswipe, and cautionary tale.

t edit He has recently stopped his self-indulgent asswipe blog.

Steph, so glad you reminded ita.

I have to make a dental appointment. It's going to be bad. I don't like even thinking about it. Or admitting it. Uhg. Can someone else be a grownup for me, because I take better care of my cats and cars than I do of myself. Hell, I probably take better care of my floors.

Anyway.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm vibing so very hard for brilliance and a treatment that works, ita. So very glad they bumped you up to tomorrow.

I saw one house-flipping show where the flipped house didn't sell for almost six months, by which time the flippers themselves had fancied it up so much they'd fallen in love with it themselves, so they just took it off the market and moved in. When the show checked in with them a couple of years later, they were somewhat rueful about the money loss but still smitten with their home.

ION, I just made an appointment with an executive assistant recruiter in Oakland, who called while I was in the pumping room all open-shirted and dripping. Thank GOD I don't have one of those fancy teleconferencing camera phones of the future.
