Yes. This is the Hell people.
Buying a car should not be this difficult!
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Is that just because pet names tend to be wacky? Like, would you remember a cat's name if if was John or somesuch?
Yes, no, maybe? I suspect the wackiness helps, but there's probably an element of how I'm more shy around people and will interact with their pets as an indirect method of interacting with them -- "Your beagle is named Darwin? Oh, Darwin . . . what a sweet puppy you are!" instead of, "Your beagle is named Darwin? That's cute! Did you come up with that name yourself, Barbara?"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You could say, "Your name is Barbara? Oh, Barbara, what a sweet human you are! Do you like belly-rubs? Here, have a human treat!"

I'm certain that if I do that, tommyrot, everyone in the new neighborhood would remember my name.

I don't know the details, but I'd hate to think that any kind of real friendship would be ended by something like that. OTOH, getting in to a bad deal through a friend can certainly have that effect.

I deleted to make brenda look crazy. While I could use some support with this, this is probably not the right forum.

Trust my rage
Well, I just finished a 2.5 page letter to my insurance company. I doubt anything will change but at least I feel better about it.

Our wings are not tired.
I've been asked to make up pretend patient names for various specialties. The first one I had to do today was for a Neurology consult and I named her Mia Graines. This was following the lead of my coworker that named her Cardiology patient Havva Heart. If any of you are bored and have ideas for some other specialties speak up. Like Gastroenterology, Urology, or Psychiatry. (Since real doctors will be using the training materials they can't be fun and offensive names)
Give 'em hell Stephanie!
