Crap, meara! Sorry to hear that.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Happy birthday, Scrappy!!
OMG, meara--what the fuck?!? At least you have some notice this time around, but best of luck with job hunting again!
IBeatleN, apparently, Paul McCartney is driving Route 66.
Then a murmur rippled through the museum. There was a Beatle in the house. The woman giving the looming demonstration asked, "Is that George Harrison?"
"I thought, 'Is there a gas leak in here?' " Biesen said when I phoned. What was wrong with everybody? A Beatle wouldn't be here, in Joliet, without fanfare or protection, in an old green Ford "pre-SUV," not to mention George Harrison is dead.
But then Biesen walked into the gift shop. And that guy looked up and said in that unmistakable English voice, "Well, hello."
"And it was Paul McCartney," she said. "I froze. It was like seeing Bigfoot."
Biesen didn't know then that a guy who looked like this one was spotted at a Springfield Circle K last weekend too. All she knew was that she felt she'd found a lost member of the family.
"The Beatles have been in our psyche forever," she said. "And when you're standing in front of someone who has been a part of your life forever, it's an overwhelming feeling. Warm. Like, 'Finally. Finally, I get to meet you.' "
She wanted to make the moment perfect.
"I really just wanted to be polite," she said.
"No. I really just wanted to lick him and say, 'I love you.' "

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh meara, I am so sorry.

Oh, meara. I hope for the best and crossing my fingers for you.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
"I really just wanted to be polite," she said.
"No. I really just wanted to lick him and say, 'I love you.' "
Pretty normal reaction, IMHO.

I seriously start to feel like thinking the other day "Oh, I should really change my tagline, that's just silly to keep it like that" was a BAD IDEA.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
oh meara, that really and truly sucks! Ugh. It makes me want to use unladylike language.
And in awkward segues, happy birthday Scrappy! May you have a wonderful day.
So my question is HOW do the Trixie dresses not fit? Too small? Too large? Problems in bust? back? waist? short or long waisted?
In my case, they are cut for the hourglass figure, not mine. It's not that it looks bad on me, but that I clearly am not doing the dress any favors. I bet it would look great on you. I'm surprised about ita, I'd think she'd look great in it. Oh, and ita, I got the navy blue.
