Ive seen a couple places Ive liked - I fear my crappy credit history trumped my stable work history and the 17 years Ive lived in the current spt. This makes me think Im going to have maximum trouble finding a place at all.
Buffy: You tossed that vamp like he was a... little teeny vamp. Riley: You wanna go again? C'mon. I bet this place is just teeming with aerodynamic vampires.

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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Breast~ma, Meara.
When I had my "Huh, I'm over 40, I should do this" mammogram I got a call back. They were kinda pushing a rushed follow-up and I told them, "My dad's dying, can this wait a month?" Suddenly they found it a lot less urgent. When I did make it in for the follow-up there was a five minute ultrasound, and they said, "Yep, it's just a cyst." So not all pushiness = important.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
sumi, that's rough. I hope it all works out quickly.

One variant of the money dance has people pinning money to you.
Or the wedding reception I attended where the bride came around to each table collecting envelopes of money from everyone. I was horrified. Where I come from (imagine nasal haughty voice) where *I* come from, even talking about money at a wedding was dreadfully tacky; no one would have dared ASK for it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
A quick piece of news: last night, Biyi gave her tenth speech at Toastmasters. (It was a tribute to her former English tutor; he and his wife also invited Biyi to stay with them when she was in need.) This means that she has now completed the Competent Communicator manual. I'm particularly proud of her because of course English is not her first language.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Biyi gave her tenth speech at Toastmasters.
Yay Biyi!!! I've heard good things about the Toastmasters.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Brava, Biyi!

Trust my rage
I feel like I'm always asking for advice here but I trust you guys, so ... (Or is it . . .)
Ellie's basically not eaten since Friday due to the stomach flu. She's def. not getting worse but is hardly getting better. My mom, not a worrier, is worried. I am, a little (or I wouldn't be posting), but I just don't know what else to do. She hydrated, not vomiting, she just doesn't want to eat and says her stomach hurts. Shes also crabby and whiny, not really like her. Could a dr. do something I'm missing? Do I just wait until she wants to eat?

Trust my rage
And, because it should not be mixed in with our health issues, that's cool for Biyi. Public speaking in another language scares me. A lot.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am not a parent, but if she's hydrated, that seems like the major concern. Will she take something with some nutritional value, like chicken broth? Some of those Pedialite/Pediasure drink things?

Trust my rage
Dana, I agree. She drank some milk and ate some ham after some cajoling. I think she's plenty hydrated but sort of weak from not eating for 4 days (her face actually looks pointed) but I think it's partly mental. I don't know...maybe it's like pilling a cat-I just need to figure out the right food.
