Hey smonster! Thanks for that "sucking at the hind titty" line. I've already put it to good use.
Heh. You're welcome.
Ahh, good to be back in my little liberal corner of the South. I like my extended family, but in small doses.
Calli, how's your BiL? And how's your ankle?
Congrats, Seska! That's terrific.
Boy what I miss when I'm off grading...
Happy belated birthday to Em, and congratulations to Seska!
I also find that not answering my phone unless I'm in the mood to talk solves this problem quite nicely.
Yep, same here.
They're hard-headed Vermonters.

The only bargaining advice I have is you need to be prepared to walk away. If they can't give you the deal you're asking for, you leave

Just got appropriately burned by my Awesome Co-Worker.
Me: Dave, bite my ass.
Dave: Can't. No overtime allowed.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
So, the tannins in red wine don't work?
Best to experiment just to be sure.
Skimming some more...
Continuing thanks for all the ~ma that's been sent the way of The Girl's father. He had an important round of tests today, and things are looking pretty good. After another course of chemo they think they'll be able to operate.
Hil, I hope post-extraction pain hasn't been too bad.
So, the tannins in red wine don't work?
I think you'd have to soak something in red wine and bite on it.
I think you'd have to soak something in red wine
My tongue would work, right?
and bite on it.
hmm, not so much
