I had the a/c running and we had a week of 100+ heat so it's probably from that. I was talking to my Mom and her bill went up but over $100 from last month.
It's happened to me before from an AC too. Sorry.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

I'm sorry but I am sick of paying for other people's problems.Yes, I'm sure that Tylenol the doctor prescribed for you while in the hospital really does cost $10. You just get a discount at the drug store. :: hits with clue-by-four :: Dummy, of COURSE you are paying for other peoples problems!
Sorry. Had to say it. I know, preaching to the choir.
Speaking of...
(though I have to say, as a regular churchgoer who would consider you totally snoggable if I were single, your yellow flag #1 made me sigh regretfully)Let me clarify. Church goer does not make a flag. The flag was more, the feeling that, well, she would want me to be too. I have no qualms of someone going to church. If that is their thing. Fine. Just don't be a judgmental on me because I *don't* go to church. She was telling the story of a house guest who left the nest, since he quit the job of working for Mom & Dad, and was a HUGE Freddy/Freeloader type. And she was like "if you are here, you need to go to church" and he was like "no, then I have to wear a suit, and it's oppression from 'the man'..." blah blah blah. But, the thing I gleaned is, Hmm, I might *have* to go to church. NSM. You can go. Have fun. Tell me what you learned. We can have a great chat. I'll sleep in. Hopefully that reduces the sigh just a bit.
Omnis, how do I put this elegantly? She sounds icky.I dunno if she's icky. But there does seem to be some conflicting things there. But then again, that was one of the things that confused me about Bush(II). If you are as Christian as you say, why do you favor the rich so much? Wasn't there some story about a camel, and a needle eye, and better chances of passing that then a rich man passing the gates into heaven???
I'm going to Houston this weekend. So, won't see her. I think she's fine as an acquaintance. Certainly helps to introduce me to the more geeky side of Dallas, which I had been missing.
OK, time to sit in traffic. Wheeeeeee!

Our wings are not tired.
Whatever the case, I admire you for getting out there and meeting people. That is SO important. And I don't want you to get your hopes deflated if this one doesn't work out. You're doing awesome just seeking out new people. And even if she doesn't end up being someone you date, you've opened up the dating arena by meeting her. Good on ya!

I misunderstood him.
He doesn't think people are lazy. He just doesn't think health care is a right.
I may have to remove him from my list.

Well, unless you want to have that conversation a million more times. Personally, I wouldn't. It's right up there with the male libertarians obsessed with(a woman's, not theirs) "right" to sell their ass. grr...hulk smash!ETA: Although it is kind of funny to watch them back away slowly when you suggest this as a way for LibGuy to solve his own student-loan type dilemmas. Cause, you know, he didn't mean his ass, just some hot chick's.

Randomly, odd bit of disabled "access" I noticed today: the building that my office is in has at least five different entrances. One of them is in the back of the building, and the door opens onto a stairwell -- after you go in and go forward about two feet, the only places to go are up or down stairs. That door has a button to automatically open it. I actually do appreciate it, since that door is kind of heavy and it hurts my shoulders a bit to pull it open, but I've never seen the official reason for putting in one of those buttons being anything other than wheelchair access.

Here's a pretty nifty wedding processional video.
It kinda makes me want to get married, and I don't even dance.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That's so fun and charming, Calli!
