Are you okay there, Sox?

I'm ok. I am boggled and it is going to take a while to deal - or (once again) quitting. That will fix it, surely. I can't find the forking argument for: if idiot > 0 and idiot.self.involvement=++, then sox.invisible.

I am sharing my much-loved headpadding with sarameg. they should know that you did them a great service, instead of going for the "someone else will take care of this" easy out.

Oh dear, Sara.

David's father's name in Hebrew is pronounced "yishay". If you write it in Hebrew letters, they aren't the ones you use in order to write the name "Jesse". In the name "David", for example, you pronounce the name differently in Hebrew than in English (the "a" is like in "aragorn", for example, not like in, um, say, "say"). You can write it down in Hebrew letters to let the reader know that you pronounce it the English way rather than the Hebrew way (the spelling would change a bit), but still, it's just adding a couple of letters, not a whole differently-written name.

Interesting! (And I know what you mean about the pronunciation of David -- I once had an Israeli roommate whose boyfriend was named David, so we heard a lot of "Dah-veed!")

Oh, sara, I'm so sorry you had to be the messenger of something that was nightmarish for you to begin with.

I wasn't dreading going to work this morning. And then Dallas happened again. Oh, Dallas, why so bane of my existence?

Oh, Dallas, why so bane of my existence?

t resists saying mean things about Dallas for DJ's sake

But rest assured that most of the rest of Texas dislikes Dallas, so you have lots of company.

I have a love/hate thing with Dallas. But yeah, the attitude of the people who run the place, and think they do kinda sucks.

On the other hand, if I were still back in Louisiana, I wouldn't have seen Sweeny Todd with the original actors from the Broadway revival nor would I be seeing Shostakovich this Saturday.

Dah-veed

Oh, exactly.

It's the name of one of my brothers. And it's completely different, to me, from Hec or knut's name (um, when they're not called "Hecubus" or "knut", of course).

so sorry sara.

I need some lunch ideas. Not BK, for that is tomorrow. salad? chicken sandwich from a cart? Wendy's? Bagel?

I have my typical turkey and brie.

Mmm, one of my favorite sandwiches. Coincidentally, I went to Chicken Out on Friday, ordered the turkey and brie panini. Got to the register and it was EIGHT DOLLARS. No side, no chips, no drink. 8 dollars for just a sandwich. And it was only okay. I mean, you can't really screw it up, but for 8 dollars, I want my eyes to roll back in my head.
