Nice! Thanks, javachik. I am in the chat now, so we'll see.
If the apocalypse comes, beep me.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, all! Home finally, since Thursday -- will be so happy to sleep in my own bed tonight, and wander around without a bra.
Not to mention smoking in my nightgown in MY OFFICE and not in the freezing bloody north Iowa cold.
Traveling was ok, thank god, unlike last year. We got to see my mom and dad and sister today for the whole afternoon, instead of a driveby like last year. My mom and sister totally hit everything out of the park for D and M -- geekery and dinosaurs abounded.
Me, I got a big bottle of Chanel Allure, which I've been out of for almost two years, and a waffle iron, among assorted other things.
My in-laws? Got me a fuckin' KitchenAid standing mixer! How rock star is that? I will have that thing till I am 100. I can't wait to bake some shit. Who wants to come have a baking party with me?!
ETA:
And dur, Happy Birthdays to Jesse, Theo and Rayne!!!!

Ooh, nice Xmas!
So, Comcast is literally my only non-dish option, apparently, so they don't give a shit.

Rockstar, indeed. Good in-laws, every homemade biscuit!

Technically, it was a combo present for D and I, but I will use it and he will reap the rewards.
D got me one of those Shark steam mops, which sounds terribly unromantic, but warms the cockles of my Virgo heart. We have all hardwood and 5 pets, and this thing dries immediately. We also got some money, and we are seriously thinking Kindle.

You have to call on the phone to actually cancel, so maybe those folks would make me a better offer, but meh. Stupid monopolies.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I wonder if you can tell them you are considering dropping the tv part and going to internet only

Our wings are not tired.
Jesse, you know, they told me the same thing when I used chat again about 6 months ago. I literally logged out, tried again the very next day, got another agent, and got back down to $80 or so (internet and non-premium cable) after threatening to just plain cancel.
ALL I watch in real time is sports, and half of that is on Comcast Sports Network. I get too much joy out of baseball to completely get rid of cable. I tried the MLB network on the Roku but unfortunately I'm blacked out of anything I want to watch. (It works great for Steve in Philly, though, since both of his teams are elsewhere - Philly and SF).

OK, I will try again!
