Happy Birthday, Typo Boy!
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Interesting, it looks like TARP losses may only end up being $42 billion (only in government spending terms could that be called only).
TARP may not be popular or ideal, but it seems to have worked. I find it humorous that this success of the Bush administration is one of the things that Bush now says he regrets.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Where are you sending flowers to, Dana? If it's Eastern Washington, my brother might be able to hook you up.
No, it's elderly relatives in a couple of different places. There's just not a lot of stuff you can buy for 95-year old women, you know?

Happy Birthday, Typo Boy.
Marketing question: If I say I have more than 30 years of experience, do you think "Wow, she's qualified" or "Wow, she's old"?

Huh, the house passed a financial reform bill and I didn't even know about it. I feel out of touch. I wonder if it's me or if it just isn't much press. Every Republican voted against it, naturally.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yes I do! Which reminds me I should order flowers for my grandmother. I now figure I've done it long enough that it's a tradition....

It would depend. For a senior enough position, it would be a plus, but I do think it's a little iffy -- if the work is stuff that's changed a lot with technology or anything, especially. I'd think.

Well, _I_ think qualified, but I think other people would think "old" (not that you are, they would just think that). I would say something like 15+ years. Which is also true, they just don't start doing the math immediately.

they would not allow the exception. bye bye $500/mo in tax free dollars.
