I went to turn on tennis and found football.

Bah!

I wish I had evocative titles for stories that don't actually exist yet. I suck at titling things I'm actually working on.

I might be able to help if you have questions.

Thanks! I appreciate the offer. Most of my questions are pretty WGA plan specific. They've completely confused me with my eligibility date and covered earnings. I need to call them next week and straighten it out.

Also, I find it amusing that their FAQ doesn't mention what happens if there's a strike. Don't even try to tell me that that's not your MOST asked question, people.

Did you guys see see this news of the WTF variety?

Not that I think being Hitler venerating neo-Nazis is a hallmark of intelligence or good judgement under any circumstances, but you'd think simple self-preservation instinct would keep these people from immigrating to a place where their attacks might draw a response from the Mossad.

Sparky, that would be cool!

It might not make sense for you to follow this route if you're already close to the 110/10.

Yeah, we're off the 110. But we aren't far from the 5, so I could go 5-134-101-405.

Ugh.

Kristen & Ginger -- Thank you thank you thank you. I marked your posts. The NASE thing is interesting. Ginger, I will probably pester you later this week.

In the somewhat saner light of day, I think I am going to start by seeing about cutting back my hours to maybe 3 days/week, and talking to my accountant. I know our company does part-time; they just pro-rate the benefits. Which would at least let me ease into things and see if it's feasible.

Thank god I made it a summer project to get my credit cards paid off.

Happy birthday Spidra and Nutty

and good luck Strega

Sparky, that would be cool!

I will inform my sister that I have plans for Felicity, Josefina, their pets and furniture when my niece moves on to other obsessions, if there are no other plans.

Given their ages, I'd say it's more likely that it's their parents who made the decision to immigrate.

Thank you for birthday wishes all. I am well lubricated with caipirinha and flan and have celebrated my birthday by cleaning my house, including incredibly dirty porch windows that needed it desperately. Also by eating and drinking.

Not at the same time.
