Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

[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.

That is stupid. And bad customer service on their part. Feh on them.

Oh yes. I told them that i didn't buy the tickets, but they could be sure that I would never spend my money on them again. Luckily, it's Alaskan Air, so I can totally make good on that threat.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

dunno, Vortex - the way things are going, they might be the last airline functioning.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Well, that'll make F2F planning simpler at any rate.

These are the new skull shoes I'm wearing tonight. You have to look closely to see the skull print. I bought them for $7 on the clearance rack at Marshalls.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Ooh, sugar. And you can't beat the price!

That's too bad that Alaska is giving you such a hard time, Vortex! Drew and I use them all the time and have always gotten good service, so I'm bummed to hear that isn't the case this time. Good luck sorting it all out.

I'm "working from home" and watching Bringing Home Baby on TLC. It's a gay couple who had twin girls via a surrogate. Is very cute.

Things That I Took A Chance On At Trader Joe's Report:

Lightly Salted Crunchy Green Beans-- they're like, dried green beans? freeze dried maybe, or something. and salty. they're YUM. mostly just crunchy and a little salty (but not toooooo salty--slightly less than potato chips--you can see the salt on them, but if you tried to lick it off, it wouldn't do much for ya). The green bean flavor is not super strong or concentrated, but it's definitely there. I'm not a huge fan of green beans, I like them OK as a side vegetable, but they're not my favorite, so I was a little worried these would be too strong, but they're not.

Two thumbs up!

Sadly, they don't seem to be especially GOOD for you--130 cal/serving, 4 servings/bag (I'd say that's probably not toooo far off--3 would be more realistic, maybe 2 if you were really hungry but they seem fairly filling). 4.5 g fat, because the second ingredient is canola oil, but no saturated fat. 20 g carbs, 4 g fiber, 5 g sugar (?), 2 g protein. 15% of your vitamin A.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

My apartment got loads better today. They delivered a brand new washer! Yippee! Fixed the slow draining tub (like 10 minutes to drain from a shower slow!), fixed the garbage disposal, and got the wheel thingies for the dishwasher bottom rack. Now to do loads of laundry! Oh boy do I know how to live large on a Friday night!

My kids love those things, meara.
