I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Our old insurance had an auto-submit thing, so that was pretty sweet. We'd just get checks in the mail. The debit card is not bad, once we got in the habit of using it.

I can do both, but with this stupid card, if it is over the balance, they accept it and then you start getting hit with fees for INSF. Past cards either declined (and you could submit for less reimb) or acted like a credit card and send you a bill for the difference at the end of the year, no interest. The latter was 2 years ago, it was nice.

I won't have the funds in my account to cover *just* the crowns until the end of this year. So pointless to use it.

Dana, I had that kind too! It was nice.

It's just such a racket, and gotten worse since they are looking at losing their profit margins. Single payer, goddamnit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am peering at the pictures of the box and reading three times to make sure they're not sneaking some stevia in to cause me pain.

Just click on the links in the For Cooking section of the product page. The orange, lemon, and lime on there are the cooking ones. And you don't have to look at the boxes, because the ingredients are on the page. The unsweetened lemon for drinking also doesn't have stevia.

Why do people not HR or your superiors care so passionately about what you are wearing?

I'm in IT! On the IT floor, not the exec floor or the business floor. No one comes down here if they can avoid it, and the visitors never do. It should be a non-issue, yet...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

ita, I still don't get the biz formal reqs at your office. Aren't your clients internal? Why would they care? I've on,y seen one West Coast business formal place in the industry.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I am hoarding my last box of Tagalongs, Kat. By hiding it in the freezer behind the huge turkey taking up the whole bottom shelf. I want to go buy more. Thankfully I know no Girl Scouts here. And I intend to stay true to Grace until my littlest niecelet both gets into Girl Scouts and my family realizes that I'm buying them elsewhere.

I can't tell if I scratched under my nose, hurt it with rough-ish tissues or have a small pimple. But ouch. Once the cat gets off of my shins, I am going to go look and treat appropriately. Ah, Natter TMI.

I swear, I never got to that page. I started here and could get to individual products but not an overview page. I'm going to refill my cart from your link because I will just feel better about it.

"FREEGF" as a code makes me idly wonder if I am ordering lady companionship. At least it's free and hopefully totally consensual.

You know how we're kind of an umbrella? One of the companies we're an umbrella for is on the 13th floor. So, sometimes their visitors mandate business formal. However, the Marketing group on 12 also does have the odd person that means us on 11 dress up and pretend anyone gives a fuck. It's exasperating, but they're always recruiting more of the smaller companies that make up the larger company we're the umbrella for. Or individuals. Who seem to like ties.

And I have to say--I hate that management doesn't reprimand, apparently, if you "forget". I have never not known when I'm supposed to wear business formal, never shown up in jeans when I shouldn't, but some people are making a point of not doing it, and I think that either they should be clearly, ah, dressed down, or we should all be allowed to dress down in an admission that it's not important. But it absolutely shouldn't be my individual call.

Cass, in looking at my inventory sheet, I can tell you we have 7 boxes left of Tagalongs. Nom nom nom. (Also, 3 Thin Mints, 10 Samoa (!!) and 1 Do-Si-Do.) I will have to order more Thin Mints for boothing next weekend, but I'll worry about it then.
