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

Thanks, ND. I understand corp-to-corp is supposed to be better taxwise, but incorporating is beyond me at this time. Plus, I can still do all my own taxes.

Like the women who crave it, FLING needs to be handled with care

I need to be handled with care. You can start by not condescending to me.

As for the Fling pleasuring, my understanding is that once you go chocolate you never go back. Or, the darker the cacao mix the sweeter the berry.

Something like that.

Watched the season one finale of Dark Angel this morning. Bear in mind, I'm here for the Weatherly and the upcoming resumption of Ackles, but I would have been pissed as a fan if they'd killed first Tinga and then Zack to finish out the season, all with the bonus pleasure of La Alba's brother. I just don't get her being cool.

Yes, it is, but forming the corp and maintaining it can be a pain in the arse. I'm still a sole proprietorship but will probably need to change that soon. I use an accountant for my taxes. As soon as I had a bunch of people that I had to do 1099's on for work it got too complicated, and now I use a payroll service for the folks that do work for me.

If you don't mind my nosiness, why? As a tech professional corp to corp comes up fairly often, and the most of computer people I know socially (as opposed to from work one way or another) are all their own companies. But I don't get the subtleties.

It's setting up the board and extra paperwork, and annual fees and things like that. I know I need to do it eventually, but I didn't want to do it to begin with since a SP is quick and simple to set up.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I wish they would've killed Zack NINE MILLION TIMES.

I kind of hate him. A lot.

I totally agree that logic is not where she is at. Where that plays seems to be is a deep disappointment and anger and upset and an inability to understand sometimes medical shit Just Happens and the humans don't control everything. Try as hard as we'd like.

There's also mistrust of the Medical Establishment, which I wish the Medical Establishment would, err, address better. Because when there's an established history of things getting pushed through and used that cause harm to the patient, it's hard for the layperson to know who to trust.

totally this. Even though I think Jenny McCarthy can't find her butt with both hands.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Why does this hoax refuse to die?

Mars Hoax Circulates: 'Big as the Moon!'

Once again it appears that a Mars hoax that has widely circulated through the Internet since its first appearance during the summer of 2004 has begun to circulate yet again. It comes in the form of an e-mail message titled "Mars Spectacular," which originated from an unknown source.

In turn, this message has gotten passed on to others who couldn't resist forwarding it to their entire address book.

The e-mail declares that on the night of Aug. 27, the planet Mars will come closer to Earth than it has in the past 60,000 years, thereby offering spectacular views of the Red Planet. The commentary even proclaims, with liberal use of exclamation marks, that Mars will appear as bright as (or as large as) the full moon.

The problem is that "Aug. 27" is actually Aug. 27, 2003. Mars made a historically close pass by Earth that night (34.6 million miles, or 55.7 million km). The Hubble Space Telescope used the opportunity to make a great photo of Mars. But even then, to the naked eye Mars appeared as nothing more than an extremely bright yellowish-orange star, not at all like the full moon.

I remember that. Mars was bright and pretty.
