Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...
[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.
Do you have a local Craigslist?
Yes, and freecycle too. If I go that way, can I zap the drive with a magnet or something, just in case anything survived?
Also, is the HDD deaddeaddead or could one of us try recovering it for you?
I would LOVE that, but I see two potential problems.
The spry fellow at the Apple store cautioned at length against opening up this particular model because of the potential for residual charge. So getting the HD out could be of the danger.
They hooked the eMac up to one of their external hard drives and could not get anything at all off of it in the store. The fellow shook his head sympathetically and said that it would take a lot of time to suck the binaries off the drive and, even then, there was no guarantee that any of them would line up into useable documents.
I took that to mean deaddeaddead. Am I right?
Oooh, or I could make her a necklace with some of the tumbled stones I've collected.
Happy Birthday, Maria!!!
Happy Birthday, Kristin!!!
Man, I have almost no paid work today. It's depressing.
::opens wallet. has three dollars::
Jeez women, we need to form a club or something and turn this economic boat around! I'm pretty sick of this feeling.
Hey, seriously, maybe we could put together a referral tree. I know people, you know people, we could support each other!
Maybe an online Mastermind group! I'd be totally up for coordinating that.

What a lovely idea!
And I'm all UP in the ire about diamonds and flowers. My Valentine's Day rant...as a former florist...peels paint off the walls.
The short form is, Friday will be NAG. National Acrimony and Guilt day...for all the folks who didn't express their 'love' 'correctly'. Makes my blood boil.
Relationships strained and even ruined by corporate borne expectations and institutionalized disappointment. It's all so sad.
Not to mention the wallet rape that is long stem red roses. Pretty, yes. Precious, no. Gassed within an inch of their lives to force growing so they end up dying 3 times faster AND costing 3 times more for 'premium' rates.
This, and wedding/funeral practices are pretty much at the top of the list for why I'm not still in that business.

cool - though "Mastermind" has me picturing Dr. Evil... probably not what you were going for.
granted, d can have my $3.
Annoying people are annoying, no matter what they eat.
hah. This is so very true!
Relationships strained and even ruined by corporate borne expectations and institutionalized disappointment. It's all so sad.
Also making people not in relationships feel like lepers who will never find love.
I will be in Florida with Tom and my grandmother on Valentine's Day. I will maybe get her a card, if I can get to a card-selling place. Tom and I don't do Valentine's Day. President's Day though... *there's* a holiday!
Leaving for Florida today OMG I am so very excited, because it is so, so very cold and wintry mix is moving in tonight. Some ~ma that we are out of the area by the time that starts would be most appreciated!

Okay, I'm perennially single and my opinion maybe shouldn't mean much but I have to say if your relationship is ruined by Valentine's Day that maybe it wasn't meant to be in the first place.

We could all wear white nehru jackets!
Okay, no, that was not what I was going for, but I like the image.
The fact is, with hivemind questions and ~ma requests, Buffistas are a mastermind group of sorts.
An MM group can be more focused on specific individual's needs though. Here is a but ganked from a website:
There is synergy of energy, commitment, and excitement that participants bring to a Mastermind Group. The beauty of Mastermind Groups is that participants raise the bar by challenging each other to create and implement goals, brainstorm ideas, and support each other with total honesty, respect and compassion. Mastermind participants act as catalysts for growth, devil’s advocates and supportive colleagues.
The concept of the Mastermind Group was formally introduced by Napoleon Hill in the early 1900's. In his timeless classic, "Think And Grow Rich" he wrote about the Mastermind principle as:
"The coordination of knowledge and effort of two or more people, who work toward a definite purpose, in the spirit of harmony."
"No two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third, invisible intangible force, which may be likened to a third mind."
