I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

that's what i've heard, brenda. cost seems to be more a factor than pain from most of the people i've heard talk about it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

And I am one of the loves-unpacking people. This move was the best, because OTHER PEOPLE packed me (and moved all the boxes and furniture), and all I had to do was unpack!

Did you have them pack everything? I've used packers before, but now I'm a little weirded out by movers packing my lingerie or bathroom stuff.

Yeah, they packed everything, I just had a couple suitcases set aside. My lingerie is in drawers, and they basically just dumped it out into boxes. The bathroom stuff was mostly already in plastic boxes, so those just got put into other cardboard boxes, not taken apart. I didn't really move much bathroom stuff, it seemed silly.

I wouldn't trust anyone else to pack my gazillion tchotkes. They have way too much sentimental value to me. Hell, I doubt if I'd let them be moved by someone else. If I broke them, I'd be sad. If someone else did? I'd be very angry and resentful.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I've had numerous dental procedures, and have had to endure temporaries quite often. It may be useful to talk to the dentist, because of the temp crown is out of occlusion, it can cause pain, and it's very easy to fix that, they just have to quickly and painlessly (really -- it's inert material, right?) grind it down in place so that you can't chew with it. Easy peasy, even.

But most of all, teeth never get better on their own, so don't put off going if you possibly can.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I just got back from Godfathers Pizza. While I was there I overheard a conversation between the owner and a delivery person. Apparently someone called in for a delivery and used a stolen credit card. So the owner instructed the delivery driver to call the police. The delivery guy would then make the delivery with the police along with him, and the police would then arrest the guy who placed the order.

You don't fuck with the Godfather....

But I gotta say, how stupid is it to use a stolen credit card to order a pizza? But I suppose someone could have lost the card, reported it stolen and then found the card, forgetting that the card had been deactivated. Hmmm... extreme forgetfulness or stupidity - which is it?

Stolen card or just the number? If someone doesn't know that you stole the number, half the time the pizza people don't really look, you could get pizza quite a bit before the person gets their bill at the end of the month and says "WTF?"

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Even so, you're attaching an address to the use of the card, presumably an address where you might one day be when someone comes looking.

Oh yeah, I guess just the number?

'Cuz if you order delivery and give the # over the phone, you don't have to show the card to the delivery person, do you?
