Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

He can drive. You can go spend a week in sunny Miami drinking foofy drinks, then meet him there after he has unpacked.

Now THAT's a plan!

Between the move, changing banks, reshuffling everything with the bed bugs, if I have any documentation I wouldn't know where to look. $93 is worth not hassling with that part of all this. Had it been a lot higher...maybe I'd be willing to deal.

And your time to figure it out is definitely worth the hundo not to.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

There's a power outage at my office due to ice on the lines, so I get a third of a day off. And my Christmas present DVDs of Combat School and Jetstream arrived today, so 14 hours of wonderful Kavan Smith narration now available.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I endorse this plan with Jesse.

Besides, he should be pushing for relocation costs that include professional packers/unpackers.

Is 'saleable' a word? What word should I use instead of it?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is 'saleable' a word? What word should I use instead of it?

Marketable? Or is that as much not a word as saleable?

eta: At ;least my browser thinks 'marketable' is a word, while saleable gets the wavy red line.

A bit of Googling says that 'salable' is the American spelling. Which just looks w r o n g.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Both "saleable" and "salable" look wrong to me. What's the context?

Edit: Maybe not wrong exactly, but awkward for sure. I'd go with a different word if you can find the right one.

So our security department just said that NBC.com got severely hacked today, and the site will be blocked until further notice. Anybody heard about this and know any details?

A friend on FB (who's a big IT security guy) posted about it earlier. Let me see if I can find his link.
