Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I LOVE Nosilla!

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

If we go by board names, I'd be WalNFM. Sounds like Wal-Mart's drunken cousin.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I'd be Nosilla. Which makes me think of a nasal spray.

I want to sing this out like "Ricola!" Or to the tune of BOCs "Godzilla".

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Now I'm picturing Samoht walking down from the mountaintop, carrying an iPad with seven new commandments about cats.

Oh, dear. I laughed and laughed, and then laughed some more.

I'd be Nire. Too close to "mire" for me. My nickname would be Naitpac. Sounds like a government lobbyist acronym.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Maria - the $12500 decrease would be the top of their range.

I am just trying to run the numbers. My take home is 66% of my gross income - is that pretty normal? Granted, I contribute to 401(k) and I pay towards insurance and I put money into FSAs, but I would need to do those same things at a new job (except maybe insurance, I could check on that).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ouch, that's a big difference, msbelle.

Mine is around 61%.

Thrive to spite them

After reading Bitches I'm seeing Nosilla as an antidote to Bridezilla.

Bridezilla RAGE I have 12 bridemaids and you must all cut and color and style your hair THE SAME! And wear GOLD Lame dresses that will have a special print in MY COLORS and you must walk on 4" stilletos AND NOT TAKE them off at the reception!

In the distance there is a roar, and from the behind the curtain of roses, hand placed, with the thorns individually cut off by the bridesmaids comes NOSILLA!

With a mighty roar of NO! And swipe of her powerful paw she crushes sense back into the Bride and tells the bridesmaids "RUN!"

(I meant the one salary to the other, not the gross to net.)

information libertarian

I don't have the Facebook redesign yet, but I am getting new layouts at Jezebel and the Times this week, and it's stunning how obviously they are designed to be read on iPads. It makes me feel really weird to be on my netbook (which has a sort of bizarrely short screen, so the highly horizontal iPad-y layout is extra-weird.)
