It's not a case of being ignored, but I got someone fired once for saying to me "You've got to stop beating your husband" when Hubby was on crutches once. Granted, the manager came over on his own recognizance as I was laying into said worker, but when manager got the gist of my diatribe, he agreed with me.

And we have walked out of restaurants after being seated when no waitress has shown up after people have been served who arrived after us.

I am usually ignored when I actually want to give someone money and hovered over when I'm just looking.

This chemo makes me sleep 12 hours one day and vibrate with unfocused energy the next. Today is a vibrating day. If I could just focus, it would be a good thing.

I am sorry you didn't know the nephews were in town, sj. I'm glad you're going out tonight with friends. Sucks to feel ignored.

He agreed, we were ignored.

Different kind of sucking to be ignored there. I am glad you spent your money elsewhere.

I think most people on Craigslist are screwing off at work. I swear, I list something free during the week and hear back in two minutes usually. I'm not worried, just amused.

I started taking biotin a couple of months ago and my nails are massively stronger. I hope that translates to less chance of losing hair from stress. My nails have never been particularly strong.

Sudden summer is playing heck on my allergies. Sneezes everywhere.

That sounds frustrating, Ginger. I hate when my brain has that squirrel feeling. Totally running but aimless and pointless. How are you feeling overall?

I'm sending you "focus"...vibes, Ginger.

I refuse to be ignored, unless *I* choose it. I do frosty affronted dowager pretty well. I'm taking lessons from Dame Maggie.

Oh, sj. I'm glad you have a party to go to tonight. Will you get to see the 'phews, now that you know they're in town?

Typo, do you have any first hand reports of decapitation stopping headaches?

No one has complained.

After driving six hours, I finally made it to Gallaudet. (GPS said it would take four hours, but I've driven the NJ-DC route often enough to know that GPS was lying.) I've got to get used to being in an ASL environment again, but it seems like my brain is starting to adjust already. For the first little while, whenever someone signed something to me, I had to ask them to repeat it, because I needed to switch over to "understand ASL" mode. After just a few hours, and a few interactions (registering, getting dorm stuff, exchanging my key for one that actually fit in my door, and getting dinner), I'm not having to ask for repetition anymore.

Okay, I know there are frequent fliers in here. I am 35 miles away from a free Delta ticket. What can I do (preferably not costing money) to earn myself some SkyMiles?

I already participate in eMiles.com and eRewards.com.

Dana, how many miles do you need to get a free ticket? I've been doing the same thing for years, but I travel so infrequently I've yet to be able to cash them in.

ION, the weather for Madison is predicting 108 on Tuesday. WTF, Wisconsin?

I've had bad experiences with Sears before.

Le Nubian - we were in the store for about 10 -15 minutes. The salesmen were busy, but Will went and found a tape measure to check the dimensions of an out of the box a/c.

The a/c units were right beside the register where the salesmen were so they could see us and see we'd been there looking.

The other customer walked in and was in the store for a few minutes and the salesman walked right past us to get an a/c unit (for the phone customer) where the other customer was standing.

As he walked past he didn't acknowledge us or say that he'd be with us or even say hi. He immediately started helping the other guy. Asking him questions, trying to find out what he wanted.

It was like we were invisible.
