I would agree, Tep, that you might have to divert if they're evacuating. Signed My state's like, always, en fuego, and not in the fun Dan Patrick way.(Which Buffista was the Spanish teacher who wrote Dan to tell him he used it improperly?) PS: I kind of thought it's cause I lived next to hell.
Hey, man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity!

Can you switch it to lunch, Vortex? That would sort of put a mandatory time limit on it, at least.
Oh, I tried that. She switched to dinner (first cancel), then cancelled the switched dinner because she was tired (second cancel), then double scheduled and didn't show (third cancel). I may try a lunch again.
I was thinking maybe the lunch could be somewhere "nice" that you really don't care for. So then you could be accused of being ungrateful for this expensive meal she went to all the trouble to buy, too.
wont' work. I love to eat.
Vortex, I ordered some Choffy because I am that intrigued. I'll report back after it arrives and I actually taste it.
ooh, yay! I wait anxiously. I'm a little concerned about the bitterness factor because I tend to be sensitive to bitterness.
You know, if you lived farther away, say in Charlottesville, it would be more difficult to get together with her. IJS
two hours is too close. Remember, this is the woman who asked me to drive to Richmond to pick her up so that she could be back in town for Easter.

Poor Teppy! That is no way to spend you birthday. Feel better!

$40-50 a photo?!
Dude, I can't say for sure, but my friend's a SAHM and used to own a photo studio, and is photoshop queen.
Let me see if she would be interested in doing your photos; I think she still has all the software.If not, her bro still owns the biz, and they do all digi stuff. I can see how much they would charge. I'm SURE it's not that pricey.
How many shots?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Ack, Teppy!
"Oh, so *this* is what we're doing now? We're hanging out here? Right on."
Allie Brosh would so appreciate that story.
I love that you're using a wine cooler for a wrist wrap. Brilliant!
I had a glass of wine and a good solid bitchfest with a friend, and feel somewhat better. Plus, she gave me more ideas of who to pester for a job, and just might cook up some work for the two of us. And I got home (walking) before it started pouring.
Anne, received and thanks! Will reply shortly.
Let's not have a Buffista clumsiness competition, for it would be fierce. And painful. Y'all know about the Pimm's and the coffee, but I also have quite a burn on my forearm and it's only a matter of time before I totally bust my ass on the "sidewalks" around here.
I need to go find a place to watch White Collar on the internets. I'm done with productivity for the day.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Oh my god. Tim's dad is all "I don't see any fire on weather.com," no matter how many times Tim tells him to do a NEWS SEARCH. We are driving literally into the wildfire area. This is fucking insane. I'm actually really freaked out about it. I'm actually hoping that we wake up tomorrow and there are mandatory evacuations.
I *want* to go to the beach, damn it. I really really do. This is my 40th birthday and I want to go to the beach. But I don't want to willingly, knowingly, drive into a 20,000-acre wildfire to do so.
I feel like his family isn't taking me seriously, when all they have to do is FUCKING GOOGLE IT.
Okay. This is where having in-laws is really hard, isn't it? When they want to BURN YOU TO DEATH?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Okay, *I* found air quality alerts and dense smoke alerts for NC. On weather.com even.
I mean, yes, news would be a better search. But if he demands his fire news from weather.com, well, there's your link for him.
In-laws hard. Hell, all family hard. Other people are all stressy and think differently. Not always in an Apple ad way either. Sometimes they are just stressy.

SO much this! I'm watching TV! I haven't been in the living room for 3 weeks! I forgot how much fun it can be.

In-laws are harder than family in my opinion because you can't just say, "Hey, you're being a fucking idiot. Cut it out." Or maybe that's just me and my family.

I'll take my in-laws over my family.
