That might be a way to collect the good stuff, but ideally, we'd need an index so a person could easily find topics.

If we host this on-site, we could do a quick-and-dirty "tag" system, where the topic in question was preceded by an exclamation point or something. For example, !cilantro or !muffaletta. That would make the thread-suck function more like an index.

The trick would be keeping the tags consistent, so that we don't have tags like "generic meds" running side by side with "generic prescriptions." Hmm...

Generic, or name-brand? If generic, I have a basically full bottle of 50 mg sertraline if you want them.

Generic. I would love them. Do you have my snail mail? While we're trading meds, anyone need any generic Lamictal?

Buffista wisdom wiki! Or something.

Sad about Aromaleigh.

smonster, I will send you my generic Zoloft and I'll send Nora the generic Wellbutrin. (I seriously have a box of meds from when they were trying to find the right one. It's ridic.)

Puppy update: still cute.

Pix, best wishes for your new puppy!

Laga, for any toys - perhaps you could give them to a shelter?

Pix, didn't Nora want both of yours? Why don't you send her both and Steph can send me hers?

Somene accidentally set off the fire alarm in our building and we have two fire engines outside now. Toaster fail.

So. Here's my email. I'd appreciate any input or edits you guys have.

Hey (Boss lady),

Last spring/summer before I started here, Jon’s boss gave us a trip to India for being at the bar for 10+ years. We had planned to go last November, but because I’d just started here, we put it off.

Now it’s coming down to use it or lose it time, and we’d like to go this November. I’d like to take the 3 weeks we’d need at the end of that month to coincide with Thanksgiving. Is there any way we can work this out? If I can’t go, I can’t go, but I’d really like to try.

Thanks,

Me

Oh, now I'm confused. I thought Nora just wanted the Wellbutrin generic/brand (though I still say it's a bad idea to switch between those). I also still have Zoloft generic lying about. Nora, did you want that too? I may have missed whilst skimming.

ION, the humidity is killing me. C'mon, New England!

It's supposed to get better tomorrow, thankfully.

Here's my editing 2 cents:

Don't put the option of her saying no in your email.

We won't be able to get together today. Today is her WFH day.
