I mean, I have a debit card and a checking account, but I'd rather not use that at a hotel unless I have to.

Can they rush your new card to you?

They keep insisting they can't guarantee a new card in less than 7 business days. Which is total crap, and if it doesn't get here in time, they'll be losing a customer of 11 years.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

That is bullshit. I know that Amex rushes cards overnight to their customers, so it's definitely possible.

I may have to call them tomorrow morning and give them a goose, Kathy. If things don't work out, I'll just make Dana be my Sugar Mama.

And I just had to change all of my automatic billing because my card expired a few months ago. Man!

I need dinner. Maybe I'll make comfort food. Spaghetti!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'll just make Dana be my Sugar Momma.

I'll make you put out. SGA, maybe, or some Sports Night...

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

"Minions of Seitan."

So, is now the time to reminisce about Admiral Snackbar and Vlad the Impala? (Real users, actually I think they were both superusers, on a text-only BBS I was on in college.)

I love clever usernames. It is possible I have a shallow personality.

MCR report for shrift: Frankie is wearing a sleevless shirt and flailing wildly around the stage.

I think she knows. My chat window just got kind of incoherent.

Not surprising. Don't expect coherence from me for a bit, either. Gosh, I hope no one suddenly needs editing work from me.

In news of the cool, there is now a GoogleSky to compliment the GoogleEarth app. (I'd direct link to the demo but it'd blow up my dialup. Someday I will get the app for real!!!)

And I have insider knowlege of improvements to come because I Have People. Neenerneener. Now if only I could play with it at home. Hrmph.

Also? Tutoring reminded me I suck at probability problems. Even the basic ones. I joked to T that she taught me prob tonight.

Trust my rage

paging Susan or other military history buffs...

Why does a lieutenant general outrank a major general? Is there some sort of historical reason for this?

Off to check wikipedia next, but I always try the hivemind first.
