Men's sizing makes so much more sense.

Oh, I know! I just don't know my inseam and we're just ignoring what my waist measurement is right now, thank you.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

flea will be along in a moment to tell you that people who don't have a big waist/hip difference might generally be happy in men's trousers. I think she still wears men's jeans.

I don't any more, because there comes that time when you can pull down on your fully-buttoned jeans and almost tug them off your body without unbuttoning them. On the up side, however, men's jeans usually do have a longer rise than women's jeans in the same size.

I am annoyed with my sweet coffee concotion purchase. I want a B&R Cap Blast, but no B&R really close, so I got a thing from Cinnabon- WAY too sweet. I tried to combine with a cup of unsweetened decaf coffee, but it is still too sweet, and then it slopped all over me. HATE.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Varying hip to waist ratios are a bear.

I'm reading this article on brain disease and am fascinated on many fronts. There's the angle that the artist with a given disease became so fixated on the work of the composer with the same disease that exemplifies it so. Then there's the fact that she got this so clearly. And, I was aware of the left brain/right brain logic/art distinction, but that article implies there's a posterior/frontal distinction that further subdivides the brain into meaningful clumps--if right posterior is the well of artistic creativity, what's left posterior? Right frontal?

ita - I saw that same article yesterday and read it twice. The pattern-obsession is what got me. go figure.

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

Polter, did you buy the shares or were you given them? It appears that two of the programs are assuming you bought them (cost) and the other is assuming the options were additional income. In my IANYTL view, it is likely that you should be declaring both the income of the options and the gain.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I called LA City's Finance helpline, and they said that yes, this appeared to be an error, and it sometimes happens. They said to attach a copy of my business license and supporting documentation that I paid my taxes and am in good standing. So I did that, checked the box for an immediate hearing.

I pulled copies of my tax returns for the last three years, made copies of all documents related to my license, including the canceled check, and mailed the form back with the documentation attached, circling and notating each error on the form they sent.

Hoping for quick resolution.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

On the up side, however, men's jeans usually do have a longer rise than women's jeans in the same size.

Except, when you do have a waist/hip/ass situation, the men's jeans that fit, sit lower than your waist, so the longer rise is more of a downside.

Sox, I'm not even done reading the article yet. I have more clicking to do, and more googling and wikipediaing.
