It's amazing how often someone who doesn't like you gets angry that you want to leave.

When you see a pregnant woman whose belly is a nigh-perfect sphere, it's an almost sure bet that the baby is swimming in a veritable ocean of amniotic fluid.

In the best situation, yes. Lots of cushioning is good.

I just got back from going to Old Navy (clothing stores should not smell like rubber and plastic!) and Barnes and Noble. Also, today I have gone to Walmart to return a gift from my mom, gone to Ross to return a gift from a friend, gotten a pedicure, ruined a pedicure, gotten my eyebrows done, and gone to ON and BN.

TIRED.

Dunno what the drama is, le nubian, but good luck. Sounds like it's something involving discretion and outcomes and general SUCKFEST.

Garage door guy came. He is fixing door.

OK, question: the lowest panel of the door is dented by the roommate's car running into it. She said she'd pay to fix. Guy is currently fixing the actual functioning of the door (a spring busted loose and some screws were bent). That should be fairly cheap ($100 or so). He's going to get an estimate for replacing the bent panel. It's not a HUGE dent, but it is a clearly visible one, and I don't want to someday be selling the house all "Oh, we need you to fix that so it's pretty for buyers!" and she's long gone. But at the same time, I know if *I* were paying for all this, I'd probably say "eh, not that big a dent, NBD". What to do? (I'm sure it will also depend on how much the estimate is)

See what the estimate is, and then decide. If it's less than $200, have her pay for the whole thing. If it's more, maybe you can split it somehow.

I swear to god, I still feel like choking someone.

The metaphorical equivalent of attacking it with hummus while wearing a clown suit at a coulrophobia convention, oh yeah.
