The work for this one is just not happening. If we don't have everything we need, we'll buy it in Maine. My body isn't cooperating and we're only going for 2 days.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Maine will be fun. Maine is always fun.
Student loans are confusing. I got a form informing me that I had received my loan money, but I never actually got the check. I emailed the financial aid office, and they said that I got it as an electronic transfer, not as a paper check. I replied that no, I didn't get it in either form, and they had never asked me for my bank account info so that they could send it electronically.

We're in the market for a car, but I just can't figure out what we can get. We want something smaller with better mileage because most of our locations now will store our instruments, so we don't need to do all that hauling all the time. But we live on a very dirt road, so we need something 4x4 or all wheel at the least that can handle the clay when it turns to mud. Anything that will do that a) doesn't have that great mileage and b) we can't afford.
You've probably already thought of it, but a Subaru?

Yeah, Subaru's the cheap 4x4 choice for ski bums everywhere.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Oh Omnis, have I told you lately that you are my sunshine, my only sunshine?
See, he understands that one way to calm down a person with traffic school rage is to talk about positive, pleasant subjects.
Another way is getting them in a sleeper hold. And you can tell whether Jack Bauer likes you or not, because if he does then he'll also tell you "Don't fight it."

Fortunately, the California DMV understands that one way to calm a person down with road rage is to make them take at least twenty minutes to read each of their web pages.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Is it bad to nip off little bitty skin tags with nail clippers?
ETA: Because I have them, and I want to.
Also, I'm gonna freak out if I end up with scores of moles growing all over my neck like my mother.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Andi, when I went to have one taken off, my doc suggested that I could do it myself. You just need to hold an ice cube on it to numb it and use a pair of really sharp scissors--or I guess nail clippers would work.
I may do that on my next one considering my share of the doctor's visit was $200.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I dimly recall ita's Mom (who's a doc, right?) using thread on ita's Dad's.
I've used nail scissors. Alcohol before, alcohol after, alcohol on scissors, anti-b ointment on band-aid. Never had a problem. I even did one on the corner of my eyelid once because it was driving me bonkers and I couldn't wait for the optometrist my dermatologist wanted me to see.
