Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Happy Birthday, -t!!!

Lisah, good news about the job -- fingers crossed it continues past the contract!

James Van Der Beek died.

Damn it, that sucks.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I know "Entertainment Tonight" and them always make it sound like everyone gets better, but it wouldn't preclude poor Van Der Beek having a clot or something after treatment--whatever, he was robbed. Maybe it was embarrassing with class because everyone gets cc'd on the feedback instead of assigning beta partners or something like that.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Yeah, I'm with Dana about folks younger than me.

I woke up in the middle of the night a few months ago with the random thought "when my grandfather was my age, he'd been dead for three weeks." And when I looked at a calendar, sure enough it was true. My subconscious is a fucking bastard, I tell you what.

Sucks about Jame VdB. We are the same age. Eek.

to, "I am going to report you, Wells Fargo, to the OCC if you hold onto this money for one more second. We've jumped through your hoops; release the funds."

I definitely expect at least a few things to come down to this.

I have relatives who died in car accidents when they were ninety. It's another sort of pressure.

Come to think of it, they probably snorted when they saw that email and though, "Tchyah. Get in line, sister."

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

Yeah, WF were the ones who fucked up our mortgage.
