As screw-ups go, it's benign. Sorry things are so tight, though. I'm there right now, and it's NFG.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I also had chicken pox as a kid, for two weeks, right as my sister was getting over it. I remember being put in footie pajamas and mittens, even though it was July, so that I wouldn't scratch, and taking oatmeal baths a few times a day. I've still got a bunch of scars.
The mother of a kid I grew up with had polio as a kid, and had a lot of physical problems as an adult.

MM - can you re-post that link to the narrative generator? I have a friend who wants to see it (I just sent the OverUsed Science Fiction Cliches link) and can't find it.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Note to cat owners--do not leave bidding sites open and go to the bathroom when you have a cat who walks on keyboards. That would have been a tricky conversation to have with the people and the $300,000 Buy It Now purchase Amon Ra nearly made.
This goes for the parents of toddlers, too.
