Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Attention to those who had drinks at the Boardroom on Saturday: Due to various credit card snafus, the entire tab went on my card and the final total with tip ($740) just hit Amex. Fun!

Between cash left on the night (which I believe is just Plei) and money collected at the next day's brunch, I have $340. Sadly, due to being in a prolonged famine stage on the feast and famine freelancer journey, I really can't cover more than my share of the rest. So, if you haven't yet contributed your fair share, I would really appreciate you sending it my way!

I've temporarily added my profile addy to my list of PayPal emails so that is probably the easiest way. Or, if you know my real last name (and can spell it), you can send money via Zelle to mylastname [at] allmail [.] net. Or, contact me at my profile addy and we can figure something out. Thank you in advance!

ETA: David just covered the remainder. Because he is the best. Thanks everyone for playing!

I gave you cash at the boardroom before I left.

I gave you cash at the boardroom before I left.

Looks like this may have gone the way of ND's credit card. But, see above.

Our wings are not tired.

I had given cash to Juliana when I got my margarita. Sorry about the snafu!

Likely part of the amount she gave me on the night or at brunch. No worries!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I definitely did not give anyone any money by any method for Boardroom drinks, so happy to kick in now!

T, check PayPal. I refunded what you sent since David covered everything shortly after you.

ETA: I don't use PayPal that often anymore so please check and make sure that worked!

Yep, refund is already there and my bank account seems not to have even noticed the initial payment. All good.

Wait, what happened to ND's credit card?

It disappeared mysteriously after he put it down to pay. (It's already been cancelled and everything.)
