Glad you're recovering well, Connie. Hope you're fully back to normal soon!
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

[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
Am I being humorless if I don't think it's funny when someone who isn't Jewish tells me I'm being a bad Jew because I eat beans during Passover?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, Vortex - you should be getting a long overdue wee package from me soon, if you haven't already.

I'm going to have to take oxygen to work until the follow up appointment on Friday. This is annoying but should at least lend seriousness to my tales of medical woe.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Are they just trying to tease you? Because there is a lot of that sort of teasing in my workplace. Like all teasing some funny, some not so much, but I don't mind if it's meant affectionately.

I think it's supposed to be teasing, but it's just been going on too long. I'd really just like to be able to eat my lunch in peace and not have to justify every bite.

Dear creepy 20-something guy on my street,
The fact that I don't want to have a conversation with you when I'm walking my dog does not mean that I am bitchy or racist (and yes, I could see you reaching that conclusion though you didn't voice it). It just means I don't know you, and you're making me uncomfortable. Running up beside me and trying to get me to talk because I'm a "beautiful young lady" (which I'm not, for the record) does not make you the victim when I rebuff you. This is the second time I've made it clear to you that I'm married and not interested. Could you please take the hint and stop harassing me?
No love,
Me

I suspect the difference is that you like your co-workers.

Huh. I'm bored and looking up stuff to do near the college that wants to interview me. Why did I never know that there are a zillion places to get vegan food in Columbus, Ohio? I found a list of vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants there, and it's at least as good as DC, if not better. I must revise my notion of midwestern food.

Oh Kristin, I know that situation too well.
Did I tell you that I got "fan mail" from some guy who I passed on the street? He was one of those survey takers/people with clipboards who's job it is to stop passersby? I was walking by, he shouted "I know you!" I smiled at him and kept walking. He said "No, really. You're the Gothic Charm School lady from YouTube!" I smiled, waved, and kept walking, because I had Stuff To Do.
That night, I got cranky email from him, informing me that he was no longer a fan of mine because I was horribly rude to him and slighted him by not stopping to talk.
