Acc'ding to this is can be governor or legislative
and it says many states have caps from 2 - 10 % -- but that isn't enough in big down turns
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Now tagless for your comfort.
There's something satisfying about twittering "Charter Communication sucks ass" and getting a response from Charter. Too bad they won't lower their rates and improve their horrible customer service.

I did the research thing and called my rep. His office says both the both the executive and legislative branches can distribute monies from the rainy day fund. Congress by passing a bill that needs funding and I am assuming that the governor would do it by executive order -- like state of emergency funding. So my unions allegation that it would give the governor great control over the budgeting process is an exaggeration.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
A friend back in western Arkansas had a surprise visitor at her back door -- a black rat snake. Pictures: [link]
What would you have done in that situation?

What would you have done in that situation?
Made an embarrassing loud noise, yelled for Hubby, then stared through the glass and gone "Cool." Hubby would then do something masculine and useful and move the snake off to a bush.
edit: If Hubby weren't around, I'd rap on the glass in the hopes of annoying it so it would go away. AFter putting a towel at the foot of the door and making sure windows were snake proof.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What would you have done in that situation?
Come here to post about it, and then tried to google it.
Is it managing to stay vertical just by the bit of it supported on the door handle? Creepy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Cool picture.
Am I outside and needing to get in in this scenario or can I just watch it for a while? Because that would be my inclination.
Eta: yes, there would be Googling.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So Kat, I am coming so late to the conversation but I was going to post DH's vote recs. And then you posted them yourself. You both are ITA--well me too, but that's because I talk over my votes with him usually, and we mostly vote in sync.
Also, I have the irrational urge to confess: I came here ready to whine about my day, but then after reading about the tsuris of all my friends I realize that I am a WHINER. I've been uncomfortable, but other than that it hasn't been a bad day. Yet.
