The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I think Dita ate one of the dowels I need to (have Matt H) put my TV stand together.

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

Mmm. The pineapple I chopped up was adequately advertised as sweet. This stuff is like crack.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

My husband, the bartender, has invented The Gulf Slick. Coconut vodka, blue curacao, with a layer of Jager floated on top.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

DJ, that's brilliant. I want one.

So, I need some advice to give my friend G. What to do when a guy she's dumped keeps calling. Like, continuously. He calls, starts shouting, she says conversation's over and hangs up. He keeps calling. She doesn't answer. He hangs up on voicemail and calls back. Again and again. She unplugs the phone and goes to bed. Six hours later, she plugs the phone back in. It rings in her hand. It's him. He's been calling continuously for six hours. They have a shouting match. Tonight she's expecting him to call and start shouting again. She's just resigned to the shouting match now. I don't know what to say, besides telling her to shoot him.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That sounds a little scary. Should she call the police?

Also, Zen, I recieved my package of 70's craft magazines/pamphlets, and I am delighted, because the magazine was one of the ones I thought was lost forever. My mom even made stuff out of it!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

editted to clarify:

she should turn off the ringer until she can change her # and/or call the police.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is there a way of having the phone company block all calls from that number?

That happened to a roommate of mine once. Big PITA not being able to use our phone for anything.

She should call the local women's shelter to get advice. They see this all the time, sadly, and know what the best methods are, and when to really freak out. She should definitely not engage, even to the point of hello, until she's spoken with them.

Maybe she could hang up, immediately make a call herself. If he got a busy signal would it dissuade him.

I agree with do not engage at all, not one bit.

So my sis and her GF and the kids are in town. We started out at the Art Institute. Sadly, the hall of armor, swords, guns, etc. was closed. So the kids were rather bored. My youngest son managed to set off an alarm by touching a display, and received a warning for touching something else he shouldn't have. But they liked Millennium park, especially the Giant Silver Bean and the fountain.

Then we got pizza and watched Alice in Wonderland.
