Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I take it that your the host and hostess and attendees are not fond of cabbage...

Cabbage shows up - but it isn't as popular. I love it.

I think party invites come to both of us. The odd thing that happens around here is that no one thinks I cook. Matt always gets involved in running and cooking for 50+ people. so no one knows I cook - even though I always cook for the potlucks.

I have Hgtv on - there is a kitchen that is sacrier than mine. foil wall paper.

I'm getting the pig!

Question for the hivemind: I drove up the street to the gas station, filled the tank, got back in the car, turned the key in the ignition and... NOTHING. There was a click and then everything was dead. I popped the hood and fidgeted with the battery cables, hoping for the best, but NSM. The only difference was that after I tried turning the key again, there was a constant clicking sound under the dash / below the steering wheel area.

My assumption is that it's the battery, but I just bought one a couple of years ago. My car is still at the gas station. I walked home. I live near a Checkers, so I'm wondering if I just buy a new battery and cross my fingers, will I be able to get my car home?

Might be the alternator (the doohickey that converts the energy from the battery)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

It could be your alternator.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

But if it is your alternator you'll have to buy a new battery anyway so you might as well try that first.

Ok, I'll start with the battery and go from there, with fingers crossed that I can at least get my dumb car home. I had to leave one of the back windows down since I couldn't get it back up again. Ugh.

Thank you, Vortex and Laga!!

The constant clicking sound could indicate the starter. At least it has for me several times. I hope it's just the battery.

I was just out buying candy solely for its potential to be monster parts on cupcakes.

The status is NOT quo.

Someone feel like writing my last 11 student narratives? I'll give you lots of Halloween candy!

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I'll do your narratives if you'll do my term paper research!

ETA: And to sweeten the pot, here's my stimulating working title:

Fostering collaborative writing in technical documentation

You're dying to do it now, aren't ya?

I don't want to go up to Halloween Horror Nights tonight.
