Another example, not as absolute: linked in recced ita as someone to business network with. Now ita and I do know each other from boards other than this one. But none of the others I know from those other boards got recced.

But I'd bet you have a fair number of contacts in common.

ETA: Which, ita just said.

LinkedIn, along with other sites like Facebook, etc, offers ways for users to upload their contact lists from Outlook, Yahoo, etc.

Once that address book has been imported, the info becomes part of the service's database. If a friend of mine uploads her contacts into one of those systems, then friends of hers might see other people from that same address book in the "people you might know" window, since they have the original friend in common.

I missed the entire sexy conversation. I can't believe it. to sum up:

Sexy Ann Coulter . . . if such is possible . . .

requires a wired jaw. and still? not attractive.

I must be coming to terms with Furries.

OW.

Oh dear DOG ow.

I hate the sexy costumes. I really do. Though the desire to even the scales (no pun intended, really) and suggest Sexy Thomas Covenant is somewhat strong with me, in the vein of sexy leper. Except for the fact that what he was punished for was so ... yeah ok. not sexy.

ION (please. please please please.) I HATE American Girl Doll TM. HATE. HATE HATE HATE. I hate the branding. I hate the prices. I hate the fact that HKF has been going through the catalog with her grandmother and just told me that $75 is not that much for a plastic horse.

ETA: seriously? that's groceries here. I feel nauseous.

Argh. My intermittent tooth pain from earlier in the summer, which my dentist (after x-rays, including an extra x-ray designed to...do something? maybe just get that area from a different angle?) said was nothing, has exploded into searing pain like when I had the cracked molar.

I have dental insurance. I'm very, very lucky. I just keep repeating that to myself, otherwise I'm going to lose it.

(Yesterday's foray into Everything Is Bad And Let Me Show You How included a ticket for turning right on a no-turn-on-red intersection. In my meagre, unlikely-to-hold-up-in-court defense, I really thought the green turn-y arrow had lit up.) (That was after a speeding ticket 2 weeks ago.) (I know those are both just examples of Hi, Your Actions Have Consequences, but damn.)

JESUS CHRIST. Literally as I was typing this, there was a terrible commotion in the kitchen, Tim yelled the dalmatian's name, I ran to the kitchen asking what happened -- she fell down the stairs to the basement. A whole flight.

Fuck everything, man.

(Please, no brackets. I appreciate the sentiment behind them, but -- no.)

I hate them too. The only thing that is even close to reasonably priced is the books.

Let us know how Chloe is, when you can, Steph.

Aw FUCK tooth pain and goddamn traffic tickets. I just got a camera ticket in the mail for $135! Bastards.

Poor Chloe! Be all right, doggie.

Why why why do smart kids refuse to do or turn in their fucking homework???

I mean, I know I did sometimes too. But that was before email and, frankly, nowhere near the level I am banging my head against the wall about now.

I hope Chloe is okay. Aging pets are hard.
