Am I right in thinking that your DH works for the utility in question, GG?
Gunn: Well, how horrible is this thing? Lorne: I haven't read the Book of Revelations lately, but if I was searching for adjectives, I'd probably start there.

[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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Yeah, Owl acts wise and people treat him that way, but he isn't. I eman, he signs his name Wol.
Christopher Robin is probably the wisest, but I am also a big fan of Piglet.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Thanks ND and javachik!
ND, if there is anything I can do to help with the mouse, let me know. I'm sure the design will be amazing when you are done.
Ginger,yep, DH works for Progress Energy. Turkey Point was already off line before he left for work. I think he said another plant was off line as well. He was hoping the plants here don't trip tonight.

That would be nice. (You would appreciate that the media is irritating me by saying that the power is out because the plants are off line. No, the plants are off line because the power outages spiked the grid, and nukes aren't exactly instant-on.)

Oh! This morning I was in a meeting with 3 women and 2 men and one of the buttons on my shirt just came unbuttoned (it's a very loose fitting shirt) and exposed my bra! Dude! Mortifying!

ok - ima jump in here (because I was raised on a steady diet of hydro and nuke... sparky can verify) and say the press is limitless in what it will do to sell stories. G-G, you and DH have our sympathies and I'm passing the fernet - not in the least to toast your birthday! But also just to close this day DOWN. because it really needs it.
reaaaally.

Please pass the fernet, indeed.
