Also, vw- does this mean that your afternoons are free for lunching again? Also, {{{vw bug}}}
Yes, except that I am beyond broke. So, if you want to bring lunch and meet and eat outside, I'm up for that...
Teppy, that's just... something.
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[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.

Jars are you still considering coming to So Cal?
Erin, one thought on the painting: try to find low VOC paints (I think most interior paints are low VOC nowadays thanks to recent changes in the law). Your lungs will thank you.

It's a great deal of fun to swear in British around the clueless, they think you're being all quaint and PBS-ish.
Then I got a supervisor who had grown up in England . . .

I'm going down to the County Clerk's office with a co-worker as she and her partner go to get their marriage license. I'm already getting weepy.

OK, just for the novelty of it, I've refrained from using my seasonal rant for a tag line (if it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them). But! There's one group that I've finally had to send a complaint about.
Tour groups on Segways.
sigh ... these bozos seem to think that they're the only ones on the sidewalk. They zig-zag back and forth, sometimes they bunch up and take up the entire width of the sidewalk. I've had to dodge into the street to keep from being run over by a Segway. And their control isn't the best - you can't always predict which way they're going to go.
Saw one bunch, trying to use a curb cut to get up on the sidewalk, where one person lost control and had to hop off. So everyone else had to stop, some hopped off, then there was this multiple-Segway jam and every single one of them had to wait for the person ahead, get back on, get started up, and then roll up the curb cut to the sidewalk. The problem was, there was a person in a wheelchair stranded in the street, in traffic, waiting for them to all get sorted out and clear the curb cuts so he could get out of traffic.
