Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

You would not believe how many people (men) say, "Heyyyyyy, ese!" Upon being introduced to me.

It does act as a pretty clear indication of the type of person I'm speaking with, though.

I have scheduled to take my Jeep into a Jeep dealership to have the lock worked on after my usual garage said "Oh, we can't work on something like that, you'll need to go to an auto body shop so they can take the door off. I don't even care any more if I can lock the doors, I've maybe locked the doors three times in the three years I've owned it, and I'm willing to run the risk of prowlers in the parking lot. If they want to steal the two dollars in change, my sun hat, and the jug of antifreeze, I'll call that cheap for not having to maneuver my fat ass in through the passenger door.

Our wings are not tired.

I don't lock my car, or leave anything of value in the car. My theory is the contents of the car cost less to replace than my window. I know too many people that have lost windows and it is a pain in the butt.

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

I have made Excel run out of memory twice. I don't even have that much open, I think it's just tired. Fuck it, I am not reviewing which of the recovered files I want to save, I'm just going to catch up in Natter and go home.

Jamie Lee Curtis is my new BFF.

Sweet! I always kind of vaguely liked her for seeming generally awesome, but after hearing her on Wait Wait I love her to pieces.

We're like Brigadoon, if Brigadoon were full of liberals, queer folk, hipsters, and heroin dealers.)

OK, I haven't actually seen Brigadoon, but I feel like that is exactly what it is like.

Nice shirt from Holli!

Damn it, I have to remember to get my flu shot! The free flu shots at work day was Yom Kippur, so that didn't work for me. It's still free if I go to Kaiser, but I have to actually go.

I thought you were already trying to be more social and go out more, msbelle?

Ugh on the fraud and best wishes for a smooth surgery and easy recovery, Dana. I don't know anything about either, but good luck.

Wow, esse, go you!

Oy, Sue. Don't do that, back of Sue.

You would not believe how many people (men) say, "Heyyyyyy, ese!" Upon being introduced to me.

I know I've had that thought. I don't think I've said it out loud? Maybe I have, sometimes I don't have much filter.

Sigh on the car door lock, Connie. What a pain.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ouch, Sue!

Go, esse!

Yesterday, carpal tunnel. Today, credit card fraud. I'm taking bets on what tomorrow will bring.

ONLY AWESOMENESS.

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

I thought you were already trying to be more social and go out more, msbelle?

I have been, but I have not done anything since ACL which was 2 weeks ago and she wants to push me to not just sit at home where things with mac are just tense so it wears on me. So I will muster my energy and find something that looks interesting to do in the next week or two and will invite people.

Tomorrow better back off!

I'm watching the Rocky Horror special on Fox, and it is Not Good. Nice to see Tim Curry, but that's about the only silver lining.

Getting ready to watch the Alfred E Smith dinner thing. Am on a bit of a delay. Kind of like anticipating a train wreck with what the Donald will say in front of the Cardinals and stuff.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I skipped the debate last night to watch the Cubs game. Much more enjoyable.

Depending on the version of Excel, you might be running against a limit in the software, not your computer. This gives the maximum numbers for Excel 2010, for example. [link]
