Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
right? Debet's words are something parents tell children to warn them if they are bad.

Mice can easily get in through the tiny gaps around where pipes enter the building. The smallest gap they can really get through. They don't need a big hole.

Basic social skills question:
A participant in a panel I'm running Saturday morning dropped out for really good reasons, so I'm scrambling for replacements. I've emailed my 1st choice. If I don't hear from her by tomorrow afternoon, would it be Kosher to contact my 2nd choice? If my 2nd choice gets back to me before my first and accepts, and then my first choice accepts, I would have to say, that because of the deadline I reached out to someone else when I did not hear within 24 hours.. Would proceeding that way be discourteous to my first choice?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Typo,
If your 1st and 2nd choice say "yes", since it is a panel, can you incorporate both?

Typo, I would follow up with a telephone call tomorrow morning to choice #1 to try and ask her the question or let her know that because of the timeframe, you're going to put more feelers out in the afternoon.

That would be my suggestion as well.

We are short on time. Incorporating both would mean two on the same subtopic and giving them about ten minutes each. And unfortunately I can't find a phone for my first choice. All I have for her is an email. I'm now wishing I'd made my 2nd choice my first. He is not quite as knowledgeable as my first but I have a phone number for him and not for her. I could have gotten a yes or no quickly from him.

Thanks. That is a good suggestion. If I put in a deadline, then I can contact my 2nd choice when it is past. And if work on phrasing it tactfully the deadline won't make her more likely to say "no".
