    No, no, I've heard of/ had it. (it was a joke. Long story) It really does exist.

    Thanks ladies! As always you are a pick-me-up. I've been laughing my arse off catching up.

    Nanci - Sorry about the friend. She'll bounce back in no time I'm sure. Cute new snake. Sorry you had to oust one though. BTW - Thanks ((Nanci)) for the advice on the job thing. I'm looking into expanding my talents ASAP to be more marketable when I take the leap. I'm hoping next year. (Anything to get away from fluoro. Sorry, I know your a fluoro supervisor but I just hate it. It's very invasive for the techs here compaired to wehre you are. Blech. Wretch.)
    BMo3 and Knotted - **Ahem** I probably shouldn't go anywhere near the bra conversation, but... ah, ah, ah, I can't help myself. You should feel lucky. Being a C is like the perfect size - just the right amount to, um, "handle" and gravity can only take them so far. Me? well... 34D. It's a little rough trying to find a good workout bra that doesn't look like it was made for "Helga: The Terminator". Losing weight again so I hope to get back down to a 34C soon. (I'm the only woman I know who actually wishes for smaller ones. )
    Knotted - How to get groceries w/o spending $? Visit the parents every dinnertime. (Or at my Mom's, it's anytime you happen to walk in. The woman is constantly trying to shove food down my pie hole. )
    BMo3 - Good luck tomorrow! You'll do fine. It's nice you're starting earlier in the day. It means you get to eat sooner. Hope they find good news.
    DebW - I haven't had one yet, but as I understand from my patients, the prep is the worst part. The only thing I can say is, I hope they get the whole way through while you're there. Otherwise, you get to come to the Radiology dept the next day - and you're very much awake for what we have to do to you. (Nanci's fav study - NOT!)
    As for the pie, I was just thinking, if you freeze a piece and sent it Fed Ex Overnight to me in PA, it would be just about perfectly thawed when it got here. *hint, hint*

    Ah, the hot tub is calling once more. I'll be back...

    -X.

    Just today she posted that? Ironic. I was afraid the link was going to take us to one of the many times I've said (essentially) "I'm not your health care provider, I'm not giving you advice, you can't sue me."

    Jennifer, I'll be thinking of you all day tomorrow. Let us know how things go.

    Nanci, congrats on the new baby!

    Fish, congrats on the new house! fishjr will settle down...it can be tough. I went to four grade schools and three jr highs before going to one HS for four years. She's a sensitive kid, but you two sound like awfully good parents.

    I continue to be very about J! Even met his sister today, who's in town to help with his move into the city. She's really nice. Why would I be surprised to like the sister of the man I like so much?

    **major Whine Alert**

    I'm soooo down I can hardly breathe. DPITA must've gotten The Letter by now. No communication, of course. I don't miss my ring at all. I feel like a social clutz. I just got home at 8 pm, but I'm too exhausted and lonely to sleep. I need a haircut. I burnt the roof of my mouth on my baked potato.

    I just want to be through this crap so I can go on my bumbling inept way, auditioning the gorgeous hottie for the next Ms. Knot and riding my bike in some centuries.

    I want to get a phone call "Ok. Call it good. Slate is clean. Bye." I'm just really scared she's gonna put me through the wringer and I'll waver.

    Weak moment! And I have no chocolate to bolster my soul!

    (but I do have bike-chain tattoos that Doc did)

    Xrayted. I am so sorry. Print shops are pretty dangerous, toxic places, I gather. I am really sorry about your friend--and about the larger implications of company policy. Infuriating.

    Nanci---Addy is cool! Although it's hard for me to say goodbye mentally to anything named "Baby Russell". Good thing I never saw a pic of him. Yeah, aren't hognoses the ones who play dead? They sound like they're vastly entertaining. I haven't had a period since last Thanksgiving, btw, so don't think we'll be seeing Carrie in THIS house anytime soon. Paris Hilton with Tinkerbell in her purse--would've been a classic.

    Knotted, I thought it was against all laws of the universe to leave Costco having spent only $20. How the hell did you manage that?? I am impressed.

    DebW---colonoscopy prep is a drag (put a good book in the bathroom) but the drugs are fun and you won't remember a thing.

    Hey, Lise. I don't drink either.

    Having a broken toe is a boring, slow-moving pain in the ***. And why is it that the SIDI Dominators that'll fit me only come in black? Yuck. Wonder if I should use one of those late-night-TV-put-rhinestones-on-everything machines on those black Dominators?

    I have one Siamese cat sitting between me and the keyboard, and one small Abyssinian cat snoring happily--and loudly--under the table.

    BMomof3---PMed you some favorite websites in case you can't sleep tonight. We'll all be visualizing you in your Ibex hat. By this time tomorrow, it'll all be done, and you can read more posts on being bereft of perk.

    Whining?

    Gonna go for spikes again? I haven't seen you w/ spikes, so I dunno what I'm getting into by asking, but thought I'd tempt fate. Professional job is making me wear my hair longer again. *BOO!*

    As far as it really matters, you are done with that crap. The letter should be the end of your involvement as far as you're concerned. It's her turn to process something.

    Just have fun being a klutz with whatever sweet, charming biker girls you happen to meet/chat with/etc. The right one will love you for your mind and inherent charm.

    (((Knot)))

    I vote to bring subtle codes etc back to dating etc. Simple, straightforward, and no f*cking around (unless you want to!)

    I'm tired and stoopid. I wanna go home. It's Friday, and God so Help me, I'm gonna celebrate it like a 21 year old! (quietly, drunk, in front of the computer.)

    Thank you. This crap is TINY in the grand scheme of the universe, but I'm wallowing in it. It's funny, I don't feel any regret. I'm just in terror that it won't "stick". Of course, the terror I'm feeling now will help me stand on my own two feet if I do get a heap of abuse dumped on my head. So I really should be fine.

    I need to get l@id. Now, what was that rule in the thespian handbook about rebounds...

    Naw, this is PART of the grand scheme, so while it's not everything, it's damn well not tiny either. And it's HARD. But it gets better. Relationships should NOT make you feel bad when you're in them, dammit. That's the only rule I am sure of. Just keep trudging, cookie. You'll get there.

    Ooh! Oooh!!1 I have this one memorized! It's Chapter 5 verse 18 line 5: Wherein the "Sexual Inactivity" is greater than 4 months but less than 5 years, said thespian is to be reintroduced to action at soonest possible convenience. In the event this is >5 years, subject must be reaffirmed to have a pulse."

    That woman wouldn't have a **** leg to stand on if she had the unmitigated GALL to even ****ing dare threaten you with abuse. The mere idea gives me creepy shivers. I'm not even going to start with the reality check needed here. GRRRR

    Kitsune06 "Oh, and Yes, especially abs. " and the ability to get out of Costco for $20.00.

    Kit I believe in It's Chapter 5 verse 18 line 10 in the first edition of the manual (I have an autographed copy signed by K.D. I got when I got my re-enlistment bonus. When I re-enlisted the recruiting officer told me there'd be lots of gratuitious sox. There's been none, but you know how they lie to get you to enlist. I was also told I'd get stationed in Hawaii but that's another story) anyway....in the back there's a list of suitable events including cycling to check if said subject has a pulse. Isn't there a single gals who like gals ride somewhere? Or the Cinderella ride but that's not till March?

    Snap, yes, that's the one. And did you notice in his picture he looked like a cobra? Weren't you scared?? (Apparently the two species, Eastern and western, color themselves to resemble the eastern and western rattlsnake species they live by!) I did some more reading, and found out that, yes, they may strike with their mouths closed, and their teeny tiny teeth are so far back that if they did bite, their teeth couldn't contact you anyway, and furthermore, the only way you could possibly lure one into biting would be if you'd recently handled a toad and smelled like prey. Even poking it about the mouth won't encourage a bite. The Southern Hognose has never been documented to have bitten a human.

    I can't wait to take him out. Leaving him to adjust is harder than resisting funny comments on PR's wattle. He's so funny, sticking out his "hood," and he's so soft and silky feeling.

    I need a toad.
