I investigated. They thought I wasn't coming back, so they decided to just make it part of the (already overworked) directors' jobs. I suspect I may be recruited to help next year. But yeah, budget reasons. That makes me feel a bit better.
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

[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.

Okay, this is possibly a stupid question, but I'm asking the hivemind. I wanted to buy a particular shampoo, but can't find it in any store locally. I just ordered it to be shipped to my office in DC, with billing address also in DC. I was charged tax. I thought that you didn't get charged tax if you were ordering something to be shipped from a different state. If it's coming from DC, then why don't any of their stores have it in stock?
Am I making sense? (I am very tired today. I got up early to work out, go me, but I'm tired.)

Okay, I feel bad for (yet again) lurking for weeks then just jumping in...but not bad enough not to do it. ;)
Anyone else been hit on by a total stranger on Facebook? I got this friend request from some random guy saying he's looking for friends or something. Ridiculously enough, one of the things that most bugs me is his complement about my "beautiful smile" when my profile pic has (as many of you can vouch) at best, a smirk. Anyone else ever have this happen and be, I dunno, legit? Or always skeevy?

It's my understanding that it goes by whether or not they have a retail store in DC, not if they have the item in stock.

Vortex, maybe warehoused in DC, even if not currently retailing anywhere there?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

If they have a retail location in the ship location, they have to charge tax.

Boo! Then they shouldn't charge me shipping! I would go to the store, but they don't have it in the store. it's not my fault! I want my $1.19 back!

What ChiKat said. It doesn't matter where they ship from, just whether or not they have a location.
But yeah, you should be able to have it shipped to the store for no cost. I've run into that frustration before.

I'm not on FB, but I'm on another social network (Couchsurfing), and it happens there too. In fact, I think it's a part of every social network. In CS we can report it as spam, and after several warnings and complaints the person will be kick out of it. I never used it, for my confidence in the network comes mostly from the way I behave in it - as in, the very frank, specific and short answer they'll get if they've fooled me to think they're legit.
I can be mean.
