Just ordered Tom's 42nd birthday present, a big ole towel with "Don't Panic" monogrammed on it. Thanks to Plei for the idea!
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

Thrive to spite them
That sounds like a great gift.
I'm changing my meds around and trying a new one and going off the old. And I've gained weight, I'm pretty sure it's from the new med. NExt week I see my doctor and we'll have to discuss this. The big huge reason I wanted to go off Seroquel is the weight gain. I couldn't just go off of it so he put me on Risperdal and now I've gained about 8 lbs in the past 5 weeks.
This hasn't been the greatest year.

Askye, I'm sorry. That is so difficult.
Nora, that sounds like a wonderful gift.
I'm in a lot of pain tonight and haven't gotten a regular night's sleep in I can't remember how long. I have no idea what to do with myself at this point.

40 minutes later of phone calls and me sobbing (there's just not enough sleep in the world this week, apparently) and they fucking better find someone who can deliver something edible today. I'd also settle for delivering flowers and refunding all my money but that seems unlikely.
that is some bullshit. A similar thing happened to me twice. For my great aunt's 90th birthday, they sent me an email late the night/day before saying that they didn't realize that the delivery was in her town, and they couldn't do a Saturday delivery there.
For Mother's Day, they delivered the wrong flowers with the wrong card in the envelope. I hope that Linda's mother liked the lilies that I ordered for my mom.
In both cases, I made them redeliver with a note of apology and a second bouquet.

Fashion question -- if one is wearing a dress with narrow straps such that the bra strap will show, it is better to try to match the bra to the color of the dress, or the color of your skin (i.e. strappy black dress with black bra or brown bra)

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
Black bra.
sj, I'm sorry you're in pain.
Erin, I'm sorry the florist is an idiot. No excuse for that.

Oh yes. And/Or sew little snap straps into the dress strap to contain the bra strap.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I feel like I'd want a ruling from Stacy London on that, Vortex.
I think it's probably one of those deals like matching socks to shoes or trousers where you could go either way depending on what's the closest match.

Okay, now what if the dress is not just black, it's a black and white pattern. Still black?
