[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.

I'm only committed to about 20 hours a month for one client, which I could probably do after work if the client is amenable. I'm sort of between things, which is why I'm so broke, but there's also a lot of marketing I could do, but I've been mentally hiding.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Ginger, you might get a bad vibe from the interview and then you can turn it down without feeling conflicted.

Well, it sounds like it might be a viable option, though still a complex decision. Nice to be the leading candidate, whatever the outcome, right?

Ginger, that is a tough call. Good luck with it!

It is snowing outside. I'm not ready for this yet.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I skipped dinner because I couldn't find anything that could cook quickly, and now I'm hungry and eating cold seitan. This is not an ideal dinner.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

and you can say ...I have health insurance, so I don't need it form you.

It is a good negotiating point

Yay , GC

there is other stuff I am sure, but facebook is eating my brain. I even dreamed about it last night

I am home now! It was a fun evening. I'm glad I went. It was free tickets in the new venue across the street from our new venue. It was the Grand Opening for dance & ballet. My seat was up in the 4th tier. It was great hearing music LIVE! A dance show with LIVE music! So much easier on the ears. And the cello's sounded amazing! Actually, everything sounded great, but I guess my low freq speakers at home, or the recordings I have, just don't capture the essence of the cello. The new opera house has some interesting early reflections with all the smooth surfaces. Aside from that, it was wonderful. Not sure who the players were, as I don't follow either of those arts all that much. But, it was a great show.

GC, that is great news! Very happy for you.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Ginger- you can also keep your health insurance while also taking advantage of group coverage for as long as it lasts. There is added hassle of having to declare primary and secondary and most will make you file with EVERYONE which is a PIA...but i had private insurance plus group coverage throughout my theatre career because i never really trusted the group coverage to continue.

Seconding (or thirding?) going to the interview. Good practice, if nothing else.

IOmeN: i have now sent my mother the address for my potential first home SIX times. Just got an email from her asking for the address so she can check proximity of some B&B. The irony? The address in question is in the quoted "reply" text from my last message which she did not erase. I put big stars and exclamation points around the address, just to make it clear that "4230 SE 65th" is an address and not just random numbers and letters. *sigh* I really, really love my mother.

Portland addresses are kind of weird and confusing for the rest of us, as logical as they are once you are used to them.

Idle thought, is there any reason I shouldn't use a steam mop on the bathtub?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Idle thought, is there any reason I shouldn't use a steam mop on the bathtub?

The common bathtub takes extremes of temps and the chemicals we use on our bodies, not to mention a stray auto part cleaning here and there. If it needs it and works, go for it.

If you have a fiberglass bathtub, it might be more susceptible to steam heat, better to try it in small batches. Porcelain? The older the tougher.
