I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

why is filling out financial forms so stressful? It makes me want to cry and I have bitten my nails down to nothing. I do. not. get. it. All it is is finding information (granted not always the least frustrating things given my files) and putting it on the paper. No formulas, no gauntlet to run.

I hate financial anything, as you well know.

I'm done for the day. Except I can't pick up the cat until a little after six, so it makes no sense to go home.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Which reminds me I have a financial form to fill out. Damned provocateuse and me being honest on my tax return. Well, not that I would know how to cheat them, but still.

I am doing net worth. which is to laugh. and my monthly expenses estimation is clearly low.

I think I need to do a month of tracking daily spending again. Making me look at things right now I see I am in a cashflow problem at the moment and I am pretty sure is it $5 here and there that is screwing things up.

Thrive to spite them

California stadium rockers Journey have reached an unlikely milestone in popular song: their power ballad Don't Stop Believin' has become the biggest-ever catalogue song on digital platforms.

I'm not that surprised, Journey has its own sim in Second Life. A Sim is a dedicated land mass.

I checked and you can't buy the songs there and there's no link to iTunes but it might have something to do with.

Plus it's a great song.

The photo of Obama and Tammy Duckworth hugging gave me allergies....

She's on the shortlist for his seat - I'm really pulling for her.

Hey--what sort of solitaire is the solitaire that comes with Windows? And, I just discovered, my iPod?

It's a good way to stay awake at the ER. Not too demanding, not noisy, and barely bright.

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

Have you heard any other names?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Dan Seals (who ran against Mark Kirk for the IL-10 House seat twice and lost both times, even though I voted for him twice), Jesse Jackson Jr., possibly Emil Jones, even though moving to DC would be a step down for a man as powerful in Springfield as he is.

Thanks, Kathy. Tammy Duckworth would be very cool.
