Thanks, y'all. He's a lot younger than me - was, I guess - so I didn't know him really well, though my sister did. But a seriously nice guy, an aspiring chef, married last year - it's so wrong for things like this to happen. His parents and his brother - I can't imagine what they're going through.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

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
Aw Brenda. I'm so sorry.

Because books.
Oh, brenda, that's awful. His poor family and his wife.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Peace and comfort~ma to you, your sis, and your friend's whole family, brenda.
Laga, if it is a $100 for each item sold to 100 guests, wouldn't the formula be $1.00 per guest? Unless they are doing it benchmark-y.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
They gave us an example:
sell 1.78 per 100 guests and receive $178
sell 4.99 per 100 guests and receive $499
I think 420 for 5129 guests = 8.19 hearts per 100 guests or $819

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Shit, Brenda. I am so sorry.
IOWTF-ness: my co-worker and her husband of less than/right around a year broke up last weekend.
Wednesday brought them the new that she's pregnant. And from what I've gathered, he's not sticking around, but I don't know all the specifics. Sigh.
However - to maybe give hope/send into panic for those PCOS ladies out there - totally by accident and she has PCOS.

Our wings are not tired
Hey they gang. I'm still travelling. Hopefully my 6 AM flight home via a mutihour layover in Denver will be on time.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
God, Brenda, that's awful.
The Boy is 100% German on both sides, so he probably won't be taking the Irish throne any time soon.
To be fair, our Royal family is largely German. And Greek. But I'm sure Aimee has a clearer grasp of where they got imported from than I do.
Laga, are you sure they mean you need to sell $2.00 worth of stuff to one person, and nothing to 99 other people, and in return they give you $200? And not $2.00 worth of stuff to each of those 100 people, totalling $200, which you get to keep?
Sorry if this is a stupid question - not understanding the context, I agree that it seems like a huge amount of money to be giving someon in exchange for, er, not very much money.

I am home from work with the ick. Didn't get up until twelve.
It's just a head thing, which I usually wouldn't stay home for, but seriously, ick.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Brenda, I'm sorry. That's awful.
Aimee, UGH--poor woman. I hope she'll be ok.
Made it home and into bed around 1 a.m. The drive home was an open-the-windows, put a cold drink to my face to keep me awake kind of drive, which I hate. But as long as I made it, I'm happy. The $200 flight was worth the drive to Milwaukee and I had a great time seeing all my girlfriends back in Columbus.
I think my seatmate from Columbus to Philly was hitting on me, though. He was getting his laptop out and asked me if I liked Immortal Beloved. I told him yes and he offered me a spare set of headphones and we watched it together. When we had to put it away, I asked him if his screensaver was his son and we chatted for a while. Fortunately, after I told him I was married we moved on to chatting about my girlfriend in Columbus (after I told him we had a 40th birthday party for her). He asked me if she was cute and gave me his card to give to her. He was sort of nice and not bad looking. I'm going to see if M wants his info.
