I might check to see if they're carrying them now.

Yeah, can't hurt to check. No idea where they ship from, but they've been on time or early for all my deliveries so far.

Oh hey, are you back in town by around the 18/19th? I'm pretty sure that's when I'm likely to be in DC, and I'm hoping for F2F-age.

I would call him to see if he needed it.

Here's where I would expound my theories about what guys didn't get on the missing leg of the Y-chromosome (i.e. a certain degree of considerateness, the ability to put TP on the roll), but I won't - in consideration of our charming Boy-Bitches (and the fact that it would probably make me sound like a bitter old somethin-or-other...)

So sorry you're still miserable, Trudes. Is the misery at least somewhat lessened?

Thanks. The misery has shifted, now its stuffy head, achey, and weak.

My appetite is still shot so I don't feel compelled to test my tummy though it has been behaving a bit better (entirely possible, of course, that the bit better is due to being almost entirely empty).

Knock wood I don't have a Hil reaction to the Dayquil -- never have before. Its too much medicine as I don't need cough supressant, but I didn't feel up to reading microprint until I found one without it.

I would argue that it's not a boy/girl thing in the sense of genetically ingrained, but rather that, in general, it's not socially expected. Mr. Jane can be really thoughtful and sweet, but it's not as fundamental for him to worry about whether I'm comfortable.

ETA: A hearty congratulations and thank you to our Boy Bitches who have bucked convention.

and have I mentioned that my TV is dead? this is no way to be sick

the only good thing about today is that when I checked my mma school's website I was treated to a new picture of beloved instructor. [link] (goodness knows why he's wearing a brown belt)

That sucks! Can you watch on your computer?

I do have Prison Breaks I haven't seen.

Oh, want me to glare at DH from here? t glares

Maybe the patented Buffista ma hasn't failed me yet!

I got a call from my aunt saying that she doesn't think her boss has called anyone for interviews.

They're part of the same system, so I didn't think it mattered.

yes, it does. I had two phones that were almost exactly the same (one had an answering machine, one didnt), and if I put the wrong one on the charger, they didn't charge.

This is why I say a certain degree of considerateness. I absolutely do not think it's intentional. Maybe, like you say, more nurture than nature. I've had a non-jerk in my life amazed because when I knew he was coming over I made sure to have Coke in the fridge (I'm a Pepsi drinker, he detests it); or the one who was amazed that I brought him pepper (that he hadn't asked for and which I generally don't use, but he always did) when I went back into the restaurant for napkins. Not that I'm such a paragon of awesomeness, just brains running in slightly different grooves, I suppose.

A hearty congratulations and thank you to our Boy Bitches who have bucked convention.

Yes, this!

Oh noooooes! Adding insult to injury! Please tell me you've got DVD's and a working computer at least?
