Hey, long time no see! Come around more often! Good inexpensive wine is not hard to find, and there's no reason to pay more for everyday purposes. And I totally agree with the post that says if you have to ask about the tattoo, it's probably not a good idea ...

I am SO guilty of this, but my posts usually have a way of ending with a trailing off thought. But heck, if she's your friend, prod her. She'll probably just tell you that's her way of ending posts. Or maybe not ...

Erm, I'm a guy. But, having been in the legal business for nearly 25 years (paralegal and lawyer), everything I've seen makes me believe that going for what you want to do with your life is far more important. Noodle3 says "money, money, money" and has no regrets at 6 years. Hopefully you'll be living a lot longer…

Asking people a series of word-association questions ("what's the first word that comes to mind when I say ________") and analyzing how the answers differ based on previous words asked.

Facebook is leaky as hell, and I'd be concerned that somehow these posts might get seen by people who might get offended or wonder why you're keeping such company. I would be up front about how inappropriate her posts are and if she keeps it up, defriend her. You can tell you you had to do it to protect yourself and…

Unless you're in prison, boredom is a choice. If you don't have a stack of unread books at hand you need to go to a bookstore to get one (I like used bookstores because they're cheaper and the selection is more interesting.)

Hey, if nothing else, you'll have another writing sample ready in

I didn't think of this in my previous comment, but nyxc is dead-on. Your husband is also your business partner; you should back him up whenever possible because you are a team and you have to sometimes accede to your partner's wishes. Even if you disagree, if he wants to fire her, you should allow him to do so and…

You're not a bad person; why would you think that? It may happen that you you won't be able to be Just Friends, especially if someone else comes into the picture. But in the long run, sticking to honesty is easiest because it is far and away the simplest.

Time to GTFO. Brush up your resume, be sure you put in it all the stuff you ACTUALLY do (as opposed to what your job description is), and don't be shy about telling future employers what you want to do and where you plan to go. It's better to leave on your terms than get laid off (which could happen: "we don't know…

CBT helped me a lot. In fact, it pretty much saved my life, in conjunction with finding an appropriate medication regime. Until you've tried CBT, you can't really say you've tried "almost everything," right? You have to have some belief in it, but that's probably true of most therapies. (I have a Freudian doctor…

Raffey, do you REALLY want to have a potential "first in a series of messes" in the middle of your business? Don't you have enough to deal with? As emmabrocker2 says, it might be just a situation where she was making inappropriate remarks about your husband, and in that case a STFU might be all that is needed. But…

Fire her. Now. She may be immature, but the kind of plan she's hatching is completely beyond the bounds of appropriate work behavior. It sounds like she has a tenuous grasp on reality, and a warning may not be adequate to change her conduct. (In fact, letting someone off with a warning when the incident justifies…

It seems they have quality control problems even at that price:

Don't forget the huge catalog at Matrix Games, too. These are almost all heavy-duty thinking games, where each turn takes a lot of analysis and time to implement because of the numerous units involved. There is no advantage to fast-twitch responses, so a lot of people find them boring. The most popular example I…

What does "digitized" and "so-forth" mean? I have vinyl (not digital), CDs (digital), and wavs and mp3s (dowloaded and converted from the previous media) on my various computers.

Agree agree agree. In fact, this failure is so obvious that one might suspect that this gown actually looks like sh*t when one is really moving in it, so they had to do a couple of strategically-posed photos. (Though Dita has never looked better, I must say.)

Most replicants are ...

You're not.

OT1H, you're an idiotic jerk who should be banned. OTOH, I hope one of my gaming friends will make a crack like this about my passing on to The Undiscovered Country ...
