I'm not jumping in on the citizenship conversation, mostly due to my own ignorance and one sided view. I need to educate myself more.

Stephanie - I guess that sentence should have ended "and others come in illegally and get the benefits of living here."

One of my (male, older than me) writers, in what I can only assume was an attempt to make small talk while we were both in the kitchen, asked me if I had done anything for the event yesterday.
"Which event?" I ask, feeling slightly confused.
"The earthquake one!" he replied.
DUDE. RANDOM MALE CO-WORKERS I DON'T REALLY KNOW SHOULD NOT ASK ME IF I PARTICIPATED IN BOOBQUAKE. I feel vaguely oogie now. Am I overreacting?

We signed our wills this weekend, and we reviewed our DNR, medical power of attorney and financial power of attorney (for me, two separate people). It's a little sobering.
I am crabby and I have a meeting with two people I intensely dislike. INTENSELY. yay?
The upside, I have a new sushi necklace on with my sushi dress.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Honey, I am clutching my pearls right with you.
And I even have pearls today to clutch.
Give me a moment...and they're clutched.

Because books.
I missed the whole Boobquake thing somehow. What were you supposed to do for it?

Would that I wore my pearls today. Instead I clutched my watch pendant necklace and said, "Oh, I worked at home with a migraine yesterday".

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Reasons why I am not a teacher-- I feel that most people who think critically will end up agreeing with me.
Secretly? I do, too. It's my critical thinking shame. Woe!

Er, no. Unless you have an very friendly and open relationship with the male co-worker in question.
Go, checklist ita! I have washed dishes, made the bed, and researched ING Direct accounts, as D's workplace retirement account does not match.
Does anyone have advice on that front? I don't have a retirement account (medical bills cleaned mine out -- I know, I know, but I had to eat and have a place to live, yo) and neither does D. I'm thinking the ING account to start an ER fund, but I dunno if there are better options for a retirement fund, and if we should create separate ones.
My practical/feminist heart says yes, but OTOH, if we both track our contributions, if we did a joint account, we would have more cash in there to collect interest.
Thoughts, O my wise ones?

No. No, you are not. I liked it as an exercise in "Look, let me show you how it does. not. work. like. that." But then boys started paying attention and it got all icky.
