Happy Birthday MM.
Now get back to work on that teleporter.
Willow: Yikes. Imagine the things...Buffy: No! Stop imagining! All of you! Xander: Already got the visual.
'Dirty Girls'
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

Thanks, Plei! Unfortunately, I am now less inclined to get it, now that she's described as emerald green. I liked it for its allegéd blue/turquoiseness. feh.

Polter, can't you get her to at least leave it be while you're at work? I'm surprised that she would interfere with that.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
P-C, you could tell her that if she keeps calling you at work you will lose your job and won't be able to support a wife.

Get the CHI or the China Glaze. Both are fabulous.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
P-C, could you maybe carry it in your pocket or something? if you don't like wearing it, keeping it on you might suffice. Placate your mother without being uncomfortable.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Toddson, that is exactly what I plan to suggest to her. I am going to pick up the damn thing because my grandmother's friend (who has the locket) doesn't need to be stuck in the middle, but I just realized today that if I actually wear the thing around my neck, even for kicks, it will be an albatross.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
{{{P-C}}} One strategy that might be helpful is to think of yourself as a broken record. Pick one response, and stick with it. It may be tempting to use different strategies to convince her, but she could perceive that as making progress in convincing you.
I think not picking up the phone today is a very wise response.

Hey, I hung up on my mother when she called me a liar, and I've had two wonderful days of peace.

Always Anti-fascist!
"Wait, what? Tunnel....don't get excited, I haven't picked one...outside." (click) maybe I'm evil, but after my dad bugged my mom about trading in her car all last Spring Break, my tolerance for phone harrassment goes down to -11. The one time he cared, right? Although it's not fun to hang up without the clatter...do you think there could be a file for that? Probably a million-dollar idea I had. Work on it and we'll buy Buffista Island.
