How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.  

[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.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Yeah, me too. Which is why I am perplexed as to why I can't pull the trigger on one or the other!

sj - some of us are still waiting for your Eddie Izzard report.

Or at least one of us wants to know how long the show was.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I like the second pair, but I think I'm partial to black.

Okay, so I just got an unsolicted email from some company saying that they have a client who is trying to get a handle on how universities evaluate their recruitment efforts, and they want my expertise to talk with their client. How do I politely say "what's in it for me?"

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

How do I politely say "what's in it for me?"

Say you'd love to help and your consulting rate is XXX?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You want it in black, Nora? I think I'd go with the black footbed. So, #2.

Yes, this. The black footbed also won't show the black imprint of your foot like the brown footbed will.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Do a longer soft-sell version of:

"I would be more than pleased to help you with that. My hourly rate is ___, with a ___ hour minimum. "

My instinct is not to attach any qualifications or resume/CV. They contacted you: if they want to know more about my feeling is they should ask. But people with more sales experience than I have can refine this.

If you are not sure it is something you want to do even for money, it could be more along the lines of:

"Can you tell me more about your problem? If I decide your problem is an appropriate one for me to help you with, my hourly rates is ______."

the one with the black footbed has two straps at the toe, whereas the one with the brown footbed has only one. I tend to go with a darker footbed because my sweaty feet always make shoes look dirty.
