Thank you, Sparky and smonster, for offering help. It warms my heart to know that there are folks 'out there' for us.
Seriously. One never thinks about how important connections are until your life flashes before you eyes.
I would be there right now.

[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.

bonny, you might try whoever you have your car insurance through.

{{bonny}}. I'm glad it's over, and hope you'll be able to rest soon.
"British people are too polite and reserved to get anything done in a coalition". I actually read that in a paper the other day.
This might be the time to remind everyone that since the Magna Carta, Britain never had a revolution. Oh, and not that I agree with the statement from the article.

Bonny, renter's insurance is key for situations just like this. Call me a cynic, but I don't trust my neighbors to be as careful as I am :) I have mine through USAA, but unless you were in the service or a dependent of someone honorably discharged, you aren't eligible.

We have gnats. Not just like "Oh, look,a gnat." Like Gnat Sharks and Gnat Jets. Serious gnats. Does anybody know anything that will drive them away? Or at least keep them from hanging out on my food. Cause I find that really gross and I can't eat and shoo at the same time.

Another resume and cover letter sent out, for a decent job. Not one I'm super excited about, but there might be a chance to travel to a sister program in Geneva. Woo!

bonny, we've used Amica for years for coverage on many fronts. In CA I had someone hit my car on Tuesday and they had a check in my hands on Wednesday, with no rate increases.
So glad you and B. are okay!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
That's the big question for me. Was it designed for that kind of pressure?
The comments I've been saying say there is likely a physical jam, like part of the casing structure was dislodged during the kick and is blocking it from closing. Can't remember how informed that particular speculation is.
Gud, and anyone else interested, I recommend checking out The Oil Drum [link] Lots of technical info and links, a lot less hysterical politics from either side.

erika, don't you have anti-gnat electric things? Buy one, and get some peace of mind.
Or just hang from the ceiling transparent water bags. For some unknown reason, that partly works.
