It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

My mom and I walked out of the place and both were guessing that I would probably need to follow up for at least a few months, because no way it could go that smoothly. She was concerned that I did not get the man's name who I saw and I assured her that I was already planning on putting reminders in my calendar to contact them when/if I do not get a bill.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

David - your office has a wine cellar?

Answering for Hec, just in case he doesn't actually make it back online for a while--his current job is at a boutique law firm specializing in wine law. How freaking cool is that?

Yay for it not being a horrible hassle, msbelle.

Bookmarking Allyson's AFL-CIO link for later.

Off to the bathtub now, to bathe my gunkus-coated lungs and throat with gallons of steam. I'm so sick of being sick.

ION - October is breast cancer awareness month.

Ladies, if you are 40 or over and have not yet gotten a mammogram, please schedule one. If you have any history of breast cancer in your family and are 35 or older, please schedule one. Even without reason for concern a baseline mammogram between 35 and 40 is a good idea.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I have to start mammograms next year.

Okay - JZ - thath is pretty freaking cool.

Zap2it's description of the VP debate (as one of their best bets on tv for tonight):

VP Smackdown

Vice Presidential candidates Joe Biden and Sarah Palin debate each other in St. Louis and provide fodder for this week's "Saturday Night Live."

I was at the doctor yesterday and said to myself, "I should schedule a tit squish." I din't though. I am bad.

Wine law? There's enough business in that to warrant an entire law *firm*? I knew I should have become a lawyer.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Had my baseline mammo a few months back. Yay!

msbelle, that's a relief about the gas billing. I'm glad it wasn't a huge thing to deal with. And we'd love the pjs! Owen keeps hitting growth spurts. Go figure.

I fortunately know a little girl who is CRAZY for the Wizard of Oz so I send all the WoZ toys to her and her mother.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It's an amazing speech by AFL-CIO about racism.

Now there's some straight talk.

Hey, I got a team award.

Of course, it was for the thing where all I did was simple data entry and box-making (they needed people for scut work, and I had the time,) which, you know, not exciting or challenging, but what the heck.
