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

Dana, how frustrating!

If it has a banana, it's A split. If it has legs, it's THE splits.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh jeez, Dana! Annoying.

A split.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Ugh, Dana.

Also annoying: why can PBS not indicate in the program schedule when things are a part 1/part 2? I keep getting half of an episode of Prime Suspect or Masterpiece Mystery shows because the Tivo has no way of discerning since they just give the same episode title for all parts.

Punishingly Intricate

"The splits" sounds so wrong to me.

Liquor license was approved! Woot! And the liquor board president called the bookstore "iconic."

I'm just involved because they needed a property owner on the license. I'm not going to be working at the bar or anything. Also, liquor license is a good investment in bmore city.

sara, I did not know that's who your employer is. That explains so much.

Congrats!

They issue my paycheck & I try to have a little else possible to do with them. But yes. It does.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I did not know that lisah had a bookstore!

The splits sounds like some sort of disease to me (possibly "the bends")

So wait, getting a liquor license is just a thing you can do? I don't think I've ever lived anywhere where it wasn't a Huge Fucking Deal to add a liquor license to a neighborhood.

Salt Lake City has a months-long waiting list to get any kind of new liquor license. It's not unknown for bribes to be involved.

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

Yeah, in Chicago it can take a year. Or at least that was the case 15 years ago.

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

Sara, I really wish you worked for the other contractors. They are much more awesome.

The biggest one of the Detroit 3 still uses Lotus Notes. They have tons of DBs tied into it. They were supposed to be migrating when I left in Sep. 2011. Still hasn't happened. The company that actually issued my paychecks always used Outlook.

Congrats, Lisa! Any specific things you have to stay away from or not do as a licensee? In PA, there's a bunch of things licensees cannot do. For example, I can't work for a beer distributor or liquor company because I'm on our license even though I have nothing to do with the day to day operations of the business. Also, none of us can be criminals or be convicted of a felony.

I can do side splits, not front. I did them as a cheerleader and gymnast, then lost the flexibility. Got it back this year through yoga.
