The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have a sarameg cutiehead.

a) Jealous!
b) did you pinch her cheeks yet?

Our early voting is only M-F 9:00 to 5:00, which makes me wish I had done absentee, but I guess I will vote on Tuesday instead.

Cute Puppy, lisah!

I wanna PUPPY

Always Anti-fascist!

I love vote-by-mail...maybe the one thing our state ever got right. I was done weeks ago, and have been nagging others now.

OMFG. Y'all remember the plumbing drama I had back in March?

Yeah, I just walked out into my garage to get something and the SAME EXACT THING was going on (luckily this time I seem to have walked in somewhat sooner). Just called the plumber's emergency service to be like WTF. There was a rusted pinhole leak in the thing, which is what happened to the last one six months ago (though I went two years without a problem before that) so there's clearly a bigger issue going on here.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

When I got my BlackBerry Curve, I was on Virgin Mobile, and they don't use SIM cards. But it's just a BBerry, so a SIM card could be put into it, couldn't one?

No. It's dependent on carrier not phone manufacturer. BB makes phones that don't have SIM cards and ones that do. Even if it did take a SIM card, the phone would have to be unlocked to accept a UK SIM card.

Tom, that is a huge difference. And not a good one. I'm sorry.

Lisa, what a cute puppy. I hope you get her. Beagle pups make me sad though. Miss mine.

Meara, I hope they respond soon and have a long term fix.

I went from having a pretty good Saturday to being in a MAJOR pissy mood. I'm home alone so I'm not inflicting the pissy on others. Though it is those exact others who have me pissy.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

On, meara, may they hustle this time, and actually *fix* it.

Sorry for the pissy, Suzi. Sometimes you just gotta shit, justified or not.

Tom, I would be very sad, too. I second Brenda's kudzu idea.

Well, I got it turned off (turned off all the hot water), and called the plumbers. The answer was, they could come out tonight or tomorrow and jury-rig something (is it jury-rig and jerry-built, or the other way around?), or wait until Monday and not pay emergency weekend/night rates, and they could look at their records and see what I actually need, anyway, and figure out what the last dude did and possibly did wrong. So I picked Monday. Fingers crossed they go "Oh, dude fucked up, sorry, this is free"? Fear is that it's a larger problem, and will need something crazy.

Ugh, meara. I'm sorry.

And I'm sorry for the pissy mood, Suzi.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It's dependent on carrier not phone manufacturer. BB makes phones that don't have SIM cards and ones that do. Even if it did take a SIM card, the phone would have to be unlocked to accept a UK SIM card.

Well, crap. The phone is branded with Virgin Mobile so that probably means it doesn't even have a slot for a SIM card. Okay, new plan. Thanks, all.

Plumber ~ma, meara, and sorry for the bad mood, Suzi.
