next time i shall have something more witty prepared. possibly printed up on nice stationery.

Buy some chalk and draw in some parking space lines?

Erin, I say leave the note next time.

Gronk. Neither TCG nor I ended up getting much sleep last night, and my head is pounding.

A note is fine but killing with kindness tends to work better than passive aggression. People will mirror so mentioned that it would really be appreciated will likely change her behavior faster than shaming. It can even be fun, so win/win.

I was wearing no metal beyond minimal jewelry and an underwire. Why did I trip the security? I mean, went fine when I redid it but, yo, that machine was sensitive.

People who hurt their kids should be stomped into putty. People who scream obscenities and threats at their kids should be forced to watch, as an object lesson.

What Zen said.

Sorry you had to deal with such a crappy sitch last night, sj.

When I was a kid, the original fake parking ticket was making the rounds. You can still buy it today. I even made a more official looking one in high school print class. I've heard that people have offended with a more vulgared up version, but the original has the following:

This is not a ticket, but if it were within my power, you would receive two. Because of your Bull Headed, inconsiderate, feeble attempt at parking, you have taken enough room for a 20 mule team, 2 elephants, 1 goat, and a safari of pygmies from the African interior. The reason for giving you this is so that in the future you may think of someone else, other than yourself. Besides I don’t like domineering, egotistical or simple minded drivers and you fit into one of these categories.

I sign off wishing you an early transmission failure (on the expressway at about 4:30 p.m.). Also may the Fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits. With My Compliments.

I'm skipping, and partly wondering what I've missed that made my Bitches so talky.

Anyhow, I'll have social life tonight! Hey, every girl has to remind herself every once in a while why she hates parties. Wish me attractive, single and not-so-sane guys!

ION: I can has a working turntable now.

Emmett loves his fake parking tickets and uses them liberally around SF and Albany.

Also I loved the article on the Edwardian ball and would love to go one year.

You should! I'd feed you cherry chocolate bread and buy you a cocktail!

Though I'd need major makeup & wardrobe help.

See now, if Jilli came down everybody could have a makeover party.

Shower sex and Barb's need for more bookshelves.

Zen, ITA.

Thanks, Barb. It is eerily quiet here today. Hopefully mommy dearest is passed out somewhere.
