I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It's one of the lesser reported miracles, the Zeroing of the Inbox.

Handling a lot of the paperwork from my office kept me saner. I could print out the pdfs in the copy rooms, sign them standing there, feed them back INTO the copier and email them from there. Also, my real estate agent made herself a single point of contact. So I didn't have to know the distribution necessary, she did all that shit. I did have a thread with the mortgage broker going, but Magan was in on that too, and took care of any loose ends and picked up threads I had no idea about. God knows, she brokers MUCH bigger sales than mine, but she was just as available and attentive for her wee budget clients as her $3mil ones (seriously!! That was another front she was running when I worked with her.)

I love my social-media-savvy, networked, bleached-blond, irrepressibly perky Texas cheerleader to this day. I've managed to send 2 other people to her, and they were equally enraptured. But I don't think they can claim that their closing netted twins (she's pretty sure she conceived her twins on the eve of my close. Which would seem like TMI from your realtor, but the fact I know it is all my fault for teasing her about it: "So wait, I bought my first house AND knocked you up?" Silence and then hysterical giggles.)

...yeah, I had a good experience.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I don't understand that thing how the time of the party is not the actual time. It makes me very anxious. How do you know when to show up?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

How do you know when to show up?

Fifteen minutes after the stated time in Milwaukee, one hour after the stated time in Manhattan.

Rules should be rules!

Context, Dana.

Besides, the social rules of Manhattan and Milwaukee trump the Party Timing Rules.

If you're advocating a philosophy based on pure vodka, I'd be willing to listen to your teleology.

Man, I wish I had vodka.

Also, apparently I managed to start this thing in the entirely wrong thread. I think I will take bedtime, since I have no vodka.
