I got my book! (2 actually. Couldn't resist.)
Only on page 12 and sniffling and getting teary.
Thanks for being so brave, for writing the book, for everybody who helped, for just everything Allyson and buffistas.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'd love to have breast reduction. My sister's ex-boyfriend had his eyes done and a chin implant. And I know someone who had reconstruction after a double mastectomy. But that's it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Bad news: Bob Bob was at a conference in Halifax this weekend, and his plane back to Ann Arbor was canceled because of weather, and they didn't book him on another flight until tomorrow afternoon.
Good news: He was in Newark at the time! Unexpected Bob!
Freaky sidenote: I had made a bet with someone that there's no way Bob would unexpectedly show up in NYC between June 20 and the end of July (his next scheduled visit). I ...lose?

Here's another one: I learned that a couple I know are having fights about money. The problem is, he has a $500 a month "personal spending money" budget and regularly goes over. I don't know enough about their finances to know exactly what's in personal spending, but hers is $125 a month. They are a 2-income couple, both civic employees, with 2 kids.
That seems like a hell of a lot of "personal spending," right? I mean, that's an iPhone (admittedly a lame 4G one) a month!! I have no idea what he spends it on, but it's not anything like drugs or loose women, I'm pretty sure.

Huh? Why would his be so much higher than hers? That seems really weird.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
That was my first reaction as well, Brenda.

Yeah, that was the first thing I thought, too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Maybe he requires a lot of salon appointments for haircuts, manicures and pedicures.

Hey! Okay, yeah, I do, but but but ... if you wanted to spend the same amount of money on books or CDs or video games, I've always said that would be totally fine.
