Oh Suzi, how frustrating!
Jilli, have you seen the book Cherise the Niece?
Erm, no?
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

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.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Thanks for the suggestions - I'm still wallowing in denial and scared to look at our finances at the moment. Moving is blooming expensive.
THOUGH, remember how I was saying the mover dude was telling me that our good were going to be overweight? Well they came in under, so my final bill is actually less than my not-to-exceed amount. Not by a huge amount, but still, nice.

Erm, no?
Cherise the Niece. I saw it next to the cash register at my indie bookstore and had to buy it. The conversation went like this:
Me: *reading book* Wow, this is adorable! Sorta Edward Goreyish
Sales Girl: ...?
Me: Edward Gorey. You know--this is almost like Gashlycrumb Tinies.
Sales Girl: ...
Me: The ABC book where each letter starts a kids' name before they meet a horrific death.
Sales Girl: *looks horrified* Um, that doesn't sound nice at all! It's not a kids' book, is it?
Me: Uh...*pays for my book and magazines and leaves quickly*

Because books.
Cash, that looks wonderful.

I know, Amy! I should have gotten two copies and just mailed one to Jilli immediately.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
I'm watching the USA airing of the olympic trials for track and I know these people! It's very exciting.
I wonder how much I've missed.
I've had a delish dinner of steak, fennel/carrot/garlic/olive oil, and Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc wine. So yummy!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Suzi, could you afford to buy a used car really cheap -- like something from an ad in the classifieds for $1 or 2K?
I was going to suggest $400-500. It works for me and Daniel pretty well. Plus if you can find one of those "Push, pull, or drive it in, your trade in is worth $___" sales when it is time to buy the real car, it could kinda turn a profit.

Speaking of which - in my country "laying a table" involves tablecloth, napkins, cutlery and a marked absence of exposed genitalia. But whatever floats your boats.
BWAH!
Also, Laura's link to The Terrible Loom may give me nightmares.
Oh, pish.
No advice for you Suzi, but good luck.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Also, Laura's link to The Terrible Loom may give me nightmares.
Wait for the sequels, Ultimate Loom and Loom 3.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Here's something interesting..
KFC is having a "Hotter than Hell" contest to promote their new hot wings.
