Thanks, but try to work with me, here. I'm not actually *sick* sick. Just plagued by stoopid tree sex.
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Hah. I didn't realize that. I'm dealing with the tree sex sickness too.

“Not dead yet!”
Lack of commercials and a fair lack of personalities were two of the selling points for me with satellite radio. That and not losing my favorite stations when I drive long distances which I do a lot.
I loves my satellite radio.

Our wings are not tired
I'm pretty addicted to my satellite radio as well. Between that and the iPod adapter in the car I rarely turn to regular radio.

I'm tempted by satellite radio, but right now I'm surviving on books on CD.

sj, you may be failing to appreciate that a plan to vegetate in front of your tv is still a plan. And the thing is, you do not owe that person an explanation. It is right and good for you to evaluate your state of health, your psychological needs (i.e. for alone time, etc.) and the potential for enjoyment that you might derive from this "party" vs. the potential for enjoyment from staying home and frittering away the evening as you please, and decide that the right activity for you is staying home.
Unless this is a particularly intrusive friend, all you have to do is very confidently say, "oh, is that Saturday the 22nd? Gosh, I'd love to come but I've got other plans. Thanks so much for thinking of me, though." And then direct the conversation elsewhere.
If all else fails we can plan a watch-and-post of YouTube Muppets videos to keep my spirits up, as they will surely be flagging rather badly after a week and a half of these vicious allergies.

Future step-mother-in-law. I know she'll ask me on Easter if I'm coming, and yeah she will ask why if not. I know I'm just making a big deal about nothing. I'm not dealing well with people right now.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'd love to hear that recording some time!
I'll bring the tape the next time we have a get-together. It's pretty fun. Emmett and I listened to the whole thing on the way down to LA in February. I hadn't heard it in about six years so that was kind of cool. Especially since I've been missing Dave Morey's voice.

ND and I are as one on this.

I also adore having integrated controls for both of them in the new car.
