Paging Nicole: your invitation to our shindig, which we mailed Dec 22nd, just got returned to us today. I had addressed it to you and your DH with your old last name, not knowing if you'd changed it, but I used your DH's full name, so I'm not sure why that would have mattered. Anyway, I doubt you were planning to come, but I wanted to let you know we weren't uninviting you. Stupid USPS.

[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.

The status is NOT quo.

Herding cats for fun
(moan) I think I'm actually going to need lawyers, guns and money. I have here not one, not two, but three official Seven Day Notices from management and they all relate to Next Door.
Requiring me to pull off a $2,000 repair job in in seven days is just not going to happen. Especially since the part in question was damaged by workers hired by management lo these many years ago.
I also have to "remove wood" from the back yard. Not allowed to have lumber, even when it can't be seen from the street.
Honestly, if anyone can offer some cogent advice about how a nerd may engage the appropriate sort of lawyer for this dilemma, I'd be ever so grateful.

Herding cats for fun
Placed here in another, happier post: an Amazing Story about the incredible smartness of the cats here at Chez Bee.
Night before last, a part on the bedside lamp turned up missing. Cranky and tired, DH was persuaded to stay in bed and let me try finding it in the morning.
When I got home from driving DH to work, the missing lamp part had appeared in the very center of the DH's dent in the mattress. One of the cats had left it there. I think it was as a present.

Why can't I remember this?
If you're mailing an invitiation to Bob and Suzy Pinchus, is it "The Pinchuses"?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Trudes, yes. But "The Pinchus Family" or any of the variants of "Judge Pinchus and Mr Pinchus" (etc) are also quite correct if the plural is too painful to look at.

It's agonizing, isn't it?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Okay, drug update. It is Celexa they are switching me to. Since I read that it is basically Lexapro's cousin, I am assuming it will be okay. Any Celexa info from the Hivemind?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You may also use "The Pinchus Gestalt", or "The Fendahl" for short.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I've been on Celexa for several years, and it's worked just fine for me. I was take about 20 mg a day. When I started it, and a couple of times when I have been off for a couple of weeks because of money/script issues, the first day or two of going on it were speedy like WHOA with some racing heart stuff.
But other than that, very ok.
