Ugh ita, sorry to hear you're having such a Monday of a Monday.
If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

Erin, I add my voice to the chorus of yourname.com, and a side of Wordslinger too.

.com it is.
Annoying questions the second (and guys, I'm doing a lot of research on my own, but I figure if I ask here first, someone will likely already know, and save me time so I can DO MORE STUFF.)
I'm planning on using DreamHost to register the domain name and handle my website stuff. I'm planning on using WordPress.org, because I'm used to the interface for WP.com.
So...if I register the domain name and use DreamHost as my host but WP.org as my...whatever...website creator? will I still have erin--------.com as my WP.org site name?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Dreamhost can install WP For you for free on any domain you host with them.

Hot DAMN. I thought so, but I wanted to be sure.
Thanks, Jessica.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Your site will be erin-----.com. WP.org is just a piece of software that you install on your site, and has nothing at all to do with the name of the site. Just like your written work isn't automatically titled "microsoft word" (that's one of the key differences between it and wp.com) (the other is that I make hella better money with wp.org)

Guys, this is exactly why I've been looking forward to break -- so I could sit down and get some serious work done on getting this thing set up.
(that's one of the key differences between it and wp.com) (the other is that I make hella better money with wp.org)
amych, this interests me. My personal blog is wp.com, but that's pseud and not going to be connected with my business, except I might take blog posts and expand them for possible essays.
Can you tell me more about how wp.org has made you more money?
(You can tell me to bite myself, or take it to email, whatever, and reply when you have time, if you want to reply at all.)
I don't want to be a bitca who hogs the thread.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My dad is doing better, so he's in a nursing home now to recover from surgery. They expect him to be there a week. The stomach scope was negative, so apparently the blood pukies was just a side-effect of the surgery. They finally gave him some anti-nausea meds, which helped stop the pukies.
My mom said over the weekend he was in good spirits and was teasing the nurses. So yay for that.

ION, anyone heard about this?
State Dept. wants to make it harder to get a passport
The U.S. Department of State is proposing a new Biographical Questionnaire for some passport applicants: The proposed new Form DS-5513 asks for all addresses since birth; lifetime employment history including employers’ and supervisors names, addresses, and telephone numbers; personal details of all siblings; mother’s address one year prior to your birth; any “religious ceremony” around the time of birth; and a variety of other information. According to the proposed form, “failure to provide the information requested may result in … the denial of your U.S. passport application.”
The State Department estimated that the average respondent would be able to compile all this information in just 45 minutes, which is obviously absurd given the amount of research that is likely to be required to even attempt to complete the form.
It seems likely that only some, not all, applicants will be required to fill out the new questionnaire, but no criteria have been made public for determining who will be subjected to these additional new written interrogatories. So if the passport examiner wants to deny your application, all they will have to do is give you the impossible new form to complete.
It’s not clear from the supporting statement, statement of legal authorities, or regulatory assessment submitted by the State Department to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) why declining to discuss one’s siblings or to provide the phone number of your first supervisor when you were a teenager working at McDonalds would be a legitimate basis for denial of a passport to a U.S. citizen.
...
Extra points to the person who gives the best answer in the comments to the question on the proposed form, “Please describe the circumstances of your birth including the names (as well as address and phone number, if available) of persons present or in attendance at your birth.”
Yeah, like I'm gonna be able to find that. Fuck you, State Department.
