Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
But I did look into it, and becoming an LLC (as opposed to a fancier kind of corporation) didn't look hugely complicated. But I also didn't want to deal with the tax and accounting issues, on top of everything else.
Yes, the maintenance on an LLC is simpler. In CA there's an $800 annual fee for being an LLC.
Don't have a sofa. Have never bought one.
Me either. We came close last year, when The Girl got given some money for one - and then we realised we could never fit one through our front door, so that was that. Our new place has come with a faux-leather sofa and matching armchair. Both are comfier than the tiny sofabed we've been sitting on for years. So that's good.
I currently have the nearly 40yo Castro Convertible sofa that I inherited from my grandparents by way of my mother. It weighs 50 bazillion pounds, but it's holding up surprisingly well and will probably need eventual reupholstery, but I could believe that it's good for another 40.
I think since it's been a day and we don't have the Babyfras name, we need to pick one for her. (Which is what y'all did with Casper when her birth was announced without a name. And I found it hilarious and kinda touching to read the thread later.)
All I know is Sparky said the names they had lined up weren't in the top 1000. Which doesn't necessarily mean totally weird. But could! My pick is Louisa, because I love it and it's not in the top 1000.
I favor Voltairine myself.
Emmett hit TWO grand slams
Emmett pitched the 6th inning and shut 'em down.
KICK ASS!!!
How about Dangereuse (Eleanor d'Aquitaine's grandmother's name)?
I mentioned Sparkles earlier, but am now leaning more toward Sparkler.
In suggesting real names, here are a few of my favorites since I'll never have a girl to name:
Lurlene, Adelia, Bijan, and Josephine.
Well, I love Sparkler as a board name.
Maybe Charlotte? Cecilia? Those might be in the top 1000, though.
I had a woman (in Colorado) ask me how to spell Francisco yesterday. Made me chuckle because I thought of it as an unusual name but it's so common here.
