Exactly!

My car had heated seats built in. I bought it used, or I would never have paid for the upgrade to do that but now I don't think I'll ever buy a car without it. So amazing. (And not just in cold weather - if you do any distance driving or have back issues, it helps so much in keeping your muscles from tightening up while you drive.)

amen. I didn't think I'd use it much either, it was part of the package when I bought the car. I will never not have them again. Soooooo toasty. And mine come on automatically. You're driving along, shivering, and suddenly, from beneath you comes this lovely warmth.

Heh. Cars with seat warmers are definitely nice. It wasn't on my list of things to get when I got my current car, but I could see it being on a list of things for a future car, since several of my friends have it, and I have seriously envied it. (OTOH, it's not like I spend a lot of time in the car currently, or am in seriously cold climes now...)

Need my jaw/teeth to stop hurting. Am hoping and praying it is NOT some sort of cavity, but rather that I have been sleeping funny due to this cold or that my sinuses are just continuing to try to escape through my molars, or something. But either way, they've been hurting for DAYS and it's making me crazy.

What I want to know is when is someone going to come up with a heated steering wheel?

Hmm, how do you address a letter to someone that you know is female, but you don't know who it is? I ask because I'm writing a recommendation letter for a student for a sorority, so I can't just call and get a name. Normally, you'd do "dear sir or madam" Is it appropriate to say "dear madam". I don't like "to whom it may concern", that just sounds impersonal.

I love the seat warmers and it isn't even cold here. The kids like the warm buns too.

Health ~ma where needed, including Casper.

I am very stuffed up. It is more likely allergy than a cold. The parents went to buy me drugs.

It's Friday and BSG premieres tonight! Woot!

Oh! I need to remember to tape that.

And, just getting caught up after days away, I wanted to say, Brenda, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Is it appropriate to say "dear madam".

How about Dear Sistah, okay maybe madam is more appropriate.

Feel better~ma to all who need it. And keep warm, by any means. And by any means, I mean sex.

I have 2 papers to write this weekend. Started none, and I'm almost in the middle of it already. But I have to be brilliant and profound the whole fucking week. Can't I get the weekend off to be dumb?
On my menu: Foucault (dude, what's up with all of the extra letters in your name? We say it Fuko, I expect it to be written Fuko, Just as in Hebrew, OK?) and a sociological analysis of the Ethiopian community in Israel.

Kill me now. Or send some sex. Or food. Or the 4th season of Dr. Who. Answering the later request will dismiss the first three ones.

Oh, speaking of pens? 11 weeks into the first semester, I already used up 3 pens. Had to buy new ones this week.

Heh. I go through at least a pen a week when I'm in class.
