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.

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?

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?

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

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.

I think it's bad to turn AC's off-off, instead of up high. They work too hard or some such thing. Signed: Unwilling AC expert.

Is it ok to only have breakfast things at a brunch at 1 on a Sunday, or do I have to offer a lunch type item like a ham or sandwich fixings?

We don't turn the A/C off, just set it higher. Then again, my plants and pets would not survive any other way. When we leave for the summer it gets set to 80 something. Otherwise we would have mold growing everywhere.

I think as long as you have substantial-like breakfast things, with protein and such, you're fine.

Unless you have annoying people.

But if you've invited annoying people, they'll be annoying no matter what you serve.
