Natter 71: Someone is wrong on the Internet
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I am so glad that sarameg was confused by that one too.
Lee, how far are you from Menlo Park? Because there's a Pharmaca there; I don't know about other locations, but the San Francisco one has glorious half price Valentine's candies. Fancy schmancy ones like Lake Champlain and the glorious Moonstruck. Still pricey even at half off, but so insanely good that they actually last longer; you eat one and you don't want to eat another right away, you just want to sit and bask in the afterglow a while.
(AM STILL CONFUSED.)
(OH! HEY!!! @@)
I only know so many people who always get tail when they travel...
See, Jamaica doesn't get advisories like that.

Ooh, I shall have to look into that. I decided I was too hungry to risk candy shopping tonight, but maybe tomorrow. I do have wine!
The bright spot of my day: I got accosted by a very talkative little girl in a sparkly pink tutu on my way out of work.
Jesse, for the record, I know why you called Miss meg out right away. Hello, nurse.

I think when you're leaving a country that's got a decent dengue fever risk, it's the sort of thing that gets easily overlooked. I read Raq's description of the services the US govt provides for its employees abroad, and I just have to laugh. It was very not like that for us--we had a weird blend of random privilege and general poverty coexisting.
