I kissed him, and I told him that I loved him. And I killed him.

[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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Gosh. I'm being rustled too. I'll be on the lookout for the first mention of rebranding.

They're usually much nicer. DH got a really nice leather laptop case from the guy who found him the new job. I'm surprised you're surprised. A lot of actuaries here get a lot of headhunting calls once they make Fellow.

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Well, that's certainly something to look forward to.

This is the first time I've been headhunted, possibly because I've moved around a bit. (e.g. I got my Fellowship at the same time I started my non-actuarial position in Philly.) I don't yet know if I'm interested - I like the working conditions here, but I'm pretty sure I'm underpaid compared to what I could get elsewhere. Methinks I need to know more.

Verizon is NUTS! I was talking with my office mate about DSL. He's paying $20/month for 1.5Mbps. I'm paying $38 for the same. So after jumping through a ton of hoops, I finally talk to a live person, and (politely) complain that I'm paying nearly twice as much. So he explained the current packages, of which my config was not a part of. So apparently, at some time, they dropped it in favor of 3Mbps for $32! And yet at no time did they go "hey, you are paying too much, we're gonna LOWER your bill and DOUBLE your speed". Nope. I gotta find that out on my own. I'm still paying more than AT&T ($28 for their 3Mbps), but he did credit me a months worth of the $38. The down side is, it's a 1 year agreement.

Yah Verizon caused me the most anguish out of all the companies that dicked me around when my sister decided to cancel all of our services instead of allowing me to call up and get them transferred to my name. They even sent sis to a collection agency for not paying a bill they never sent her for services she never received. Out of all of our monthy bills only one company was quick and painless. Go California Water Service!

I need to find me some cowboys here.
West Marin has lots of horse farms, with an emphasis on Arabians, mostly, among private horse farms. Here's the hang out in the heart of that country: [link] There's also a Morgan Horse ranch where they raise Morgans for the U.S. Park Service. They have good open houses: [link] If you want to ride, the horses here have decent mouths: [link] (ask for a slim horse IMHO if you don't want to be aching at the end of a ride, ow ow ow.) You can go here, it's down the road, or the trails out from Five Brooks are great. [link] Here's a good diner in the heart of artisan ranch and farming: [link]
