Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

[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.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

DH's co has done a lot to improve CS. now, they are specialized - and it helps that their customers are the police /fire etc. But they centralized the CS, hire some programmers in the CS dept that could do some fixing, trained others to do more advanced work, and have defined a Priority 1, P2, etc. and they have incentive programs when the list gets too long. The really big problem with the system, is that customers can set the priority of a call.

But the more interesting thing is why this happened. Of course, they depend on upgrades and repeat business. But more importantly, police talk. So if County police A grumbles about your stuff, county Police B looks much more critically at your stuff then they would have normally.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Or, as well-traveled as Raq's cat is, "Foreign Legion".

Friends had two girls, Elisabeth Grace and Katherine Faith. They adopted a little girl from China, and while they kept her first name, they added Abigail Hope. It's a nice little family theme. They're not particularly Christian. And one reason they went with attribute names is that he can't stand names "you can pick," like Fern, Rose, Petunia.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

my body has betrayed me. At least another night in the brig. Apparently my belly is still slightly disdended (sp?) But I have reclaimed my crutches, so I can visit the loo on my own. Oh ya, and they took that horrid tube out of the nose, so I'm ok.

The status is NOT quo.

till in hospital. Now labeled as "partially blocked". There is talk of discharge, but since belly sounds like a bass drum, there is a call into the doc if I should go home.
Shit! How did I miss that you were in the hospital?!? What can we do for you?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

b) I know a white American military couple who adopted a baby girl from China and named her Mercy. I thought it was a pretty name until the wife told me it was because "God took mercy on her and let her come live in a Christian home." Elitist santimonious twits.

I am distantly related by marriage to a white american couple who named their chinese baby girl Cinnamon "because of her nice brown color"

Hand to God.

They call her Ce Ce.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

What a dud, omnis. I hope they get rid of the blockage ASAP.

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

I am distantly related by marriage to a white american couple who named their chinese baby girl Cinnamon "because of her nice brown color"

But see, they're pro nice brown colour.
