NO.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The status is NOT quo.

Crap. I need to make a few calls then.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The PixDesigns are making me laugh very hard.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Thanks very much. I really appreciate you inviting me! I RSVP'd yes and will be there for the day. I'll be returning home at night to catch whatever's left of the home crew.
It's not that I'm a T-day orphan. It's that I like my younger brother and he didn't even invite me to this T-day he's holding, while he invited my eldest brother. So I have to think that he doesn't want me there. Which means while I like him, he doesn't really like me (or his wife doesn't...).

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Whew. I'm relieved. I'm very glad that for at least a few hours you will be surrounded by people who are not going to make you crazy (except in a fun way). It still sucks about your collection of relatives. But it's good to know you will get to really have fun.
Yay, PixDesigns urban family feast!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Okay, hivemind. I met with this woman on Monday morning, and she said she would type up a job offer. I emailed her later that day reiterating how excited I am, acknowledging how busy she is, asking when I might expect to hear something, and asking if there was anything I could do to facilitate the process. I haven't gotten a response to that email, or an offer. Now, she was at a conference last week, and it's a holiday week, and she is superbusy. Is Monday too soon to check in, and any thoughts on whether I should call or just send another email? Keeping in mind that the job starts the first week of January.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So I have to think that he doesn't want me there.
I wouldn't presume that. You should talk to him. It is probably an unintended slight, where he simply presumed that you'd do it at your parents. The other brother might've specifically asked or begged to come, etc. Lots of reasons why it could've happened because of a lack of communication.

Maybe Tuesday? Give her Monday to get on top of things?

I would contact her on Tuesday at the soonest, and might even hold off an extra day if you can. This time of year makes everything get crazy.

David, he would have assumed the same thing about my eldest brother. Plus he knows I have been pretty unhappy with my living situation here and isolated. Yes, there's a slight chance it was miscommunication, but he hasn't exactly reached out since I moved down here. Nor did he associate with me much when he lived in the Bay Area.
When I was living in the Bay Area, my dad and two of my brothers came up north. They called two of my other brothers and two of my cousins to go hang out. I was the only one up there they didn't invite. So...it's happened before, is what I'm saying.
smonster, I think Nora Deirdre's suggestion is good.
