    Aero bars. Mmmmmmm. Whenever I go to Vancouver I gotta buy a bunch of Aero bars. the chocolates, not the kind you put on the bike...

    Meeting was interesting. There was a huge, grandiose, paranoid, bizarre soap opera going on that I knew nothing about. Did you know I'm Satan, Sadam Hussein, Hitler, Osama bin Laden, AND Mata Hari? (jk)

    Anyway, i stayed calm and reasonable. Aide threw a temper tantrum at owner #2. Ummmm, you don't do that... not cool.

    Came out of it feeling much better than when I went in, and aide was left holding her bag and is still stewing.

    Owners asked me several times if I was doing ok, and nearly apologizing for aide's behaviour. Thanked me for my patience.

    Fish - "it all works out in the end" is my mantra! How cool to see you post it, too! (corollary is: it may not be the way you wanted it to work out, but it works out)

    gotta go get a haircut and visit the bank. I'm housesitting so don't have much access to the computer right now. See you guys around!

    Are they famous Aussies I should be aware of?

    I wonder if they know where to find good Shiraz.

    Oh, Malbec. I really like that. The one I love the most is Bodega Norton. It's hard to find the ones that there are reviews on, and the ones in the stores aren't reviewed. So it's more of a carpshoot testing them out.

    Just wondering. Why would someone put a capital on the first letter of every word in a sentence? (This relates to a poster on another thread...)

    When I use the word "eyeball", it really bugs the PetitePois...

    Boy, MP got the answer right on this one. I couldn't read it; it hurt too much.

    I love swimmer bodies.

    The problem is...there you are...all this honey...and they're still looking at pictures of the Thorpedo on the internet... (where is the danged sighing icon?)

    We go to TD to complain because we think it's our secret clubhouse. The 16K+ hits, of course, suggest otherwise... It *is* a good thing there wasn't an awl handy, though.

    Earlier I was complaining to a friend who lives in Florida. Just generalized self-pity, you understand. She said, "Do you want me to mail you the knife so you can cut your wrists?" With this sort of tone: I said, "No, go online and order me the "General Suicide Kit" from amazon.com, so I can make my decision as to method when it gets here." It is gooood to have friends who laugh at me! Who get me to laugh at myself! And no, nothing in particular is wrong. It was just a moment of whining!

    MP--do you use the word "eyeball" a lot around your house?
