So where the application has a box for salary, do I put "negotiable"? "dependent on benefits"?
Yes, please?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I like Frank's answer!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Can you leave it blank?
...I don't know. Am I allowed to do that?
Yes, please?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I wouldn't leave it blank. Can you say "negotiable within x and y range"
So now that I've completely failed to give useful grammar advice
Untrue! I was wrong.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If you give them a range, won't they just offer you a number at the bottom of your range. They know what you'll settle for....

Well, but that's the bottom with excellent benefits.

Maybe he wants custody because she's a whiny and entitled and expects everyone to bend over backwards for her and her five children?
The child services thing, if its exactly as she tells it, is pretty horrible -- but most of the time she seems to think its simple good manners for hosts to prepare entire second menues for six people and takes umbrage at the notion that she should bring something along to eat if they a) can't; b) don't; or c) misunderstand what she can eat.
My mom would smack that woman silly. Damn, if you deliberately choose to live in a way that puts you in the minority, you cannot expect people to accomodate you.

Meh, I'd say if you're throwing a 100 person party, sure, you can't expect to please everyone. Or if it's family christmas for 30 people and you traditionally have goose, you'd probably talk to them about bringing their own main dish, but make sure the side dishes are more veg, and a few vegan. But if you're inviting one family of seven people over for dinner, six of whom are vegans, then I'd at least try to have most of the food be vegan. Certainly wouldn't be serving rack of lamb as the main dish.
OTOH, i'd probably avoid it by just not inviting them over very often (hell, FIVE KIDS? I'd never invite them over!)
