Aww, Kate, cutiestory!
I would totally block, sj. Oh, I have a friend who is one of those product selly people and I was getting ready to unfriend her when she finally started a business account. And now? She spends all her time on the personal account pimping the business account. MISSING THE POINT, FORMER ROOMMATE!
Okay, I am showered and now I have to go give the ring back to the jeweler. Sure, it's to get re-sized, but still.
I'm a ridiculous combination of Gollum and the "Mine! Mine! Mine!" seagulls from Finding Nemo.
They will give it back to you, Tep! It will be more awesome and you can wear it forever and ever!
They're taking the precious!
t edit
I wonder if the jeweler (it's an independent store; his name is Paolo) will smack me if I talk like Gollum the whole time.
How can you resist the temptation to say He's Taking The Preciousssss Noooo in Gollum-voice at least once?
I've skipped over bunches of posts to ask the hivemine - San Franciscans specifically - for some advice.
The mother of a friend has been injured and won't be able to drive for several months, if not forever. She has family in the area - not my friend, unfortunately - so she'll have someone who can drive her around, but they're not the most reliable people. I'm wondering if you know of any transportation modes that she could use for convenience and to maintain some independence. She's in the East Bay area - Danville specifically. She'd qualify for "senior citizen" benefits.
Any suggestions?

And you can save the Nemo Gulls and go Mine!Mine!Mine! as they hand it back to you.
Hmmmmm, Toddson. That's deep rich suburbs. I'll check around.
I knew it was one of the nicer areas - she's not pressed for funds. But she's not going to be able to drive herself ... and this is an active woman (she's been working with a personal trainer, with remarkable results, which contributed to her injury not being worse).
I appreciate any advice anyone can give.
Just got off the phone with insurance company/collections agency/insurance company round robin of hell. Oh Dear Jeebus. This is going back to Aug 2011!!! And Still it's not completed. I'm sorry. I really do not see how health insurance as we know it is the best way to pay for health care. I'm thankful I have it, but really wish there was a better way of paying for health care.
