So what are people doing this weekend?
Caucusing. Taking Annabel to a classmate's birthday party, only I might try to unload that one on DH.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Dammit! I just fucked up and hit reply all on something I shouldn't have. Ah, well, I've never done it before, so I guess I was due.
Also, a friend thing not a work thing, and I wasn't overly harsh, and I think it's something she already knows is an issue, so I'll just eat my crow and apologize.

Great! I'm about to see if I can go gank some wine off one of the guys on one of the other teams.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
BTW, Perkins and Aimee: GF and I tried to go to Killer Shrimp last night (Valley one) and it is shut down!!! NNNNOOOOO!!!!
BOOOOOO! Although, I'll admit to A) not being that surprised - it was always dead in there and 2) glad one of my favorite places is gone since I can't go there anyway.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
shrift, I may have accidentally written Torchwood/Life porn that I just e-mailed you.

This is me cackling and going "woo!" as I run to my inbox.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Huh. Turns out I may not have replied all! And now I have wine! And I will go home after this glass.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I Visioed my new place and laid out my current furniture in it. I may even have posted to LJ for opinions. But not a poll. That'd be going too far.

Okay, I've been trying to figure out how the rebate works and I found this, which, if correct, is a pretty good explanation of why we won't owe something next year (which is what I just heard confirmed on CNN but they didn't really explain why).
This comment is at the end of a bunch of comments here: [link] so there might be eventual confirmation of this. But don't read the rest of the comments unless you want your blood pressure to increase exponentially.
"Okay, I did some more checking around and discovered this. The balancing element to the rebate bill is that they’re eliminating the 10% tax bracket which applies to the first $6,000. of your 2008 income. Soooo, this means that if you normally get a $1,000 refund, you would now be due a $1600 refund for 2008, $600 of which they are advancing to you now. And you’ll still get you normal $1000 refund in 2008. Of course, it’s all chatter and hearsay. I haven’t found one single comprehensive explanation of it from the government itself. The only thing I find is the bill itself, but no explanation of how it will work as far as next year goes.
Can anyone confirm this?
