sj, I hate that mysterious hormonal mood stuff. Last week K-Bug had asked "mom, are you just stressed or PMS'ing". Ummm, well, stress has been high lately so I wrote it off as that. Nope, day one on the hotel - SURPRISE! Garg. So tired of having my period while traveling.

I head home today. I'm going to look at a few more places for STBX - he needs to get something locked in before move time - I don't have room to store him or his stuff at my place.

This is how Rome fell, I tell you what.

As soon as the barbarians made it into the bedroom, it was all over.

Definitely keep taking your pill, sj. It's possible that you're having breakthrough bleeding and not your actual period, so keep yourself on the schedule you've established.

Your doc may have different advice tomorrow, and you should absolutely follow that, but for the time being I'd say keep taking them.

And a random air conditioner question: does it use less energy to keep the upstairs A/C running all day on low, or to turn it off completely, have it get enormously hot and stuffy up there, and then turn it on full blast when it's time for bed?

Thanks, Jen. I can't remember what I did before I had buffistas to answer all my questions.

ETA: I have no idea about the AC. Although, we need to get one soon. It's boiling in here today.

if I could get "Let's Go to the Mall" to stop repeating in my head I would be oh so grateful. Curse you Robin Sparkles!

Most experts suggest turning the A/C up to the low 80s, because if you turn it off altogether, you get a build-up of humidity.

eta: In humid climates, anyway.

Fay, now you MUST use her help to snag the bloke.

Dude. She OFFERED. You MUST!

Though in my life what would happen is that somehow she and the bloke would end up married with children. But I would be happy for them! ...eventually...

Am supposed to go to birthday party for GILF's daughter (the now-19-year-old) at 5:30. RSVPd before realizing I already had tickets to a movie at 6:30 (there's a month long movie festival going on in town). What to do, what to do...I feel bad rescinding my RSVP, but also want to go to the movie. I don't think 45 minutes of being at the party is quite kosher, though. Especially since it probably won't really start on time.

Fay, you misspoke, I think you meant to say:

- oh, and a biglovely ass... her face? Damn. No, didn't notice, too busy staring at the hat ass..."

Does J-Date do gay dating? My one friend was complaining that she wants to date a Jewish girl...

she should find gay friendly Jewish families. My friend Lynn met her partner at a Seder. She likes to joke that she's the only one in the family who brought home a nice jewish girl.

eh, it's the GILF. You know she'd bail on you.

It depends. I'm guessing that "low" refers to fan speed and not a thermostat setting. Once the room gets hot and stuffy, how long does it take the a/c to make it comfortable? If you leave the a/c on all day, is it running full time, or cycling on and off to a thermostat setting?

Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking too. :) And if it was HER birthday, I'd have no compunction, but then it's her DAUGHTER"s birthday, so I feel a little guilty...

She likes to joke that she's the only one in the family who brought home a nice jewish girl.

Heh. Apparently my friend's sister not only married a Jew, she married a Jewish DOCTOR. The stakes are high.
