Too bad that oh, so many parents and professionals have not learned the trick of it.
In fact, does anyone have any suggestions for how to teach other professionals how to do it? I mean, beyond discussing appropriate reactions, and modeling it?
My food is problematic.

[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.

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.

Thank god I'm not the only one. The google frustration. It burns.
I'm all for innovation and shit, but choice is a great thing too.
Not for nothing, I've been googling since before googling was cool. Rot their hides for harshing my buzz.

I am worrying about the lack of heat at Daniel and Windsparrow's.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Seems unfair that I'm contemplating turning on the a/c at 2am and Daniel & WS have no heat! Can't we just transfer the heat magically? I wonder if MM's machine can do that too.
So I found out why all the NY side of my family forgot my birthday. Seems they relied on information from my Aunt, who gave address and phone number that were no where close to mine. The nearest I can guess is that she typed into the white pages (initial initial) (last name), which is what I socially go by, and got some Benjamin (my last name) living a few miles away, whose house appears to be up for sale, according to the web. Mind you, I've told them that I have no land line service, no local phone number, just my old cell number, so White Pages, which is phone company based, is useless. Ooops. Dad is jumping for joy that he has something to hang over his big sister. Gee, I wonder why mom divorced him. Shocker. 63 year old man acting like a 7 year old.

Omnis, I'm sorry about your family getting your info mixed up. But, yeah, your dad could use a little clue, couldn't he?

Not to worry. We are not suffering. It's been a bit chilly outside, but the only reason we turned the furnace on was because I'm a bit of a wimp. When we realized that the furnace potentially needed professional attention, I told Daniel it would be no problem to wait until Monday. I have my electric blanket on the bed, and two cats to keep me tucked in. We have space heaters, but have not even gotten them out yet. Daniel made brownies for me, and having the oven on made the house pretty comfortable.
If the furnace needs repair, at least we found out about it before a cold snap when it could not wait.
