That's crazy, bonny! Also: those jerks.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

[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.

That's awful, bonny. Sorry to hear it.
Fay, I was deep in morose-land awhile back when you were posting about body demon issues etc., but I just want you to know that I think you are beautiful and sexy and charming and a total catch. Fwiw.

I baked a cake! From scratch! And I have a slamming frosting recipe that will be put together next. Won't get to taste it all until tomorrow. I hope it is as good as it smells.
White cake with white chocolate icing, sliced strawberries and drizzled milk chocolate. YUM!!!

We just got back from looking at the apartment. Want!
Pros:
1. Off street parking.
2. Two family house.
3. Quiet neighborhood.
4. Hardwood floors.
5. Not a large apartment complex.
6. A porch to grown herbs.
Cons:
1. Oil heat.
2. Paying to move again.
3. We'd have to purchase a portable dishwasher.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oil heat.
Years ago, the city of Madison (or was it the state of Wisconsin?) had some program where you'd get tax credits or somesuch if you converted to gas. Or maybe the gas company offered a discount or something. Maybe that's an option to help you switch?

I don't think as renters we'd be allowed to do that.

not your mom's socks.
O Bonny that would have me not going through the stages of grief but firmly left in rage. As far as ideas go, it sounds as if you have a great one - and instead of a cluestick? If you could somehow manage to help your friend have the best of both worlds, this could happen (in my vindictive little soul at least):
- friend hires company and pays them their fee
- you sue company for ALL of fee, plus six years interest, plus intellectual property infringement
- we (additionally) send company lots of lawn gnomes, plus revive the 'send your unwanted fat to:' campaign special for the CEO.

It sounds like you'd be happier there, hon. Don't forget to weigh that in the pros.

Compassionately intolerant
Well, Company X is about to get a cluestick, if your friend happens to mention the interesting confluence of ideas that Company X is now peddling.
Unfortunately, she had the conversation on the phone, so she wasn't able to see his face when she mentioned me. He covered with, "OH! I LOVED her." and then went on to say many flattering things but never addressed the fact that his proposal looked shockingly like mine.
If the project moves forward...which is highly doubtful, she is going to hire me to do the research phase of the project and will, no doubt, pay me as much or more than the original proposal was meant to be.
That won't cover the percentage of income X makes off of my idea.
The friend's husband suggested that I 'sue the bastards'. I can't imagine doing that but one never knows.
eta: HA! Sox-post!! I like the way you think.
