Thanks guys. I had more trouble with it than I'd have thought, but there you go.
smonster, I think I remember one of them talking about some form of festivities or another. Kara's in the Irish Channel, and I think they may have their parade this weekend.
Oh, yes, I know there are St. Patty's parades and such this weekend. I just went to nola.com and there are 12 festivals this weekend, so we should be able to find entertainment pretty easily.
Kara just replied as well.
Ha, boss just sent an e-mail:
Spoke to [HR gal], Told her you suck and you almost never take a shower.
(he didn't say that. I know him too well. Just his way of letting me know the phone tag between the two had ended).
Shir, sorry about the dog. And Andi, I hope Harvey is now peeing freely and painlessly - IN HIS BOX - now.
Aims, you're responsible for a child - you have to do what's best for her and you (and Joe, I guess). Sounds like your uncle's dug himself a hole and wants you to lift him out. (the correct response to this is NO,in case you wondered)
Vortex ... The Rules? This sounds like a book that needs to be re-purposed. Really - maybe made into a purse? with a pink satin lining? or keep it on hand to smack obnoxious students with.

Was that a villain in one of the Star Wars movies?
oh ... and for my Bitches (courtesy of Smart Bitches), some eye candy.
smonster, if Danny O'Flaherty is doing anything St. Patrick's related, he used to co-own my favorite Irish pub in the Quarter, which got put out of business by Katrina.
My friend Cynthia worked there! As did her husband Kevin!
some eye candy.
...wow. That was... interesting.
I love the valdation that taking care of one's own family above all is the Right Thing To Do. My Uncle seems to be under the mistaken impression that it is selfish of me to do so - almost like a "Take care of your extended family elders" sort of cultural tradition whose origin I am unsure of since this has not been the case in at least 5 generations of our family.
Anyway, he tries to make me feel guilty and impart his own opinions on how society should work and how my "need" to take care of my family is somehow detrimental to the country and I am the reason that the real etate bubble burst or somesuchshit.
All of which is a very venty and long winded way of saying thank you, for reminding me that taking care of my daughter is Priority Number 1 despite craxyhead, fucko uncles.
