Boo for jobs that don't know the awesomeness that is msbelle.

Oh, Cash, that sucks. Having been through my own car woes acouple of months ago, my wallet is having sympathy pangs with yours.

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

Thanks all. In the scheme of things, not that big of a letdown. The hours were going to be a challenge and not flexible and the pay would be on the lowest end of what I want from a permanent job.

Good news is nothing is wrong with the cats according to the bloodwork. Not sure why Sylvester has been acting so odd for 2 weeks, and am not thrilled with the $300 bill, but at least there is nothing going on that would cost more money or require addressing end of cat-life issues.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

When are you having it done? If soon, you should totally be ready to kick butt with both feet in May.

March 1st!

Getting rail for the May shows involves sleeping out, waiting in line all day, and standing through two opening acts in addition to all the mosh pit madness which then ensues. Only time will tell, I think, if I'm in shape in time to do that.

There are two shows in the end of April as well, and I'm semi-resigning myself to handicapped seating for those. Fortunately I don't need to commit until day of.

oh msbelle, I'm really sorry.

Sedation has worn off. Now we're waiting to hear about repairs on K's car. The check engine light was just a tease (thank god!!) But the electrics are still wonky.

I am teaching Rime of the Ancient Mariner tomorrow, including the Iron Maiden version.

Why do doctors' offices give kids cheap toys?

I'm sorry, msbelle.

Yikes, Cash! That's a whole lotta fixing.

Because books.

Yikes, Cash. Good call on the final purchase there.

I'm sorry, msbelle.

Ken has double what Watson has after the first round tonight.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

msbelle, I'm sorry about the job. Hopefully the right job is coming up soon.

Why do doctors' offices give kids cheap toys?

When Kelly was going though her medical issues, we discovered that her doctors office had two toy boxes. One, with the cheap toys to most of the kids who were there for routine visits. And another with the good stuff for the Make a Wish kids. And her oncologist always had good stuff.
