  1. Of all the massive mistakes I've ever made in my life, I have never brought a 747 down at the wrong airport. I'm still laughing here. How in the nine Hells do you manage that?

      Doesn't help with the general public perception that flight crews are permenantly drunk off their asses!

  2. The party is over but the hard work is not. TinyDancer and I have been issued a challenge. Tiny to face off next to the best dancer I've ever seen from our studio - in a duet - for competition - in three weeks. Me? Oh no big deal" design, create and fit two custom costumes and the most detailed make up work I've ever done. I got this. (HELP!)

      Ah, is the silly season getting to you? Or is it the idiot your working for? Either can be remedied easily enough with booze and a sturdy cudgel if your so inclined.

      Some people should use comas. It might improve their writing.

      I also find extra commas in my writing. Perhaps they're ones that wondered over from non-comma users stories.

      Give yourself plenty of time and space to grieve, my dear. We are allowed to miss them terribly, you know.

      If you can, next time just listen patiently with "uh-hmm" and "yes?" here and there. Then after they're done explaining just ask, "So how are you going to handle this problem?"

      Well, it's worth a try. :) Good luck in any case.

      My friend has what he calls a 'porn friend' who is designated to come into his home and scour it of his hardback porn when he dies so his mother doesn't find it. Some setup, eh?

    3. FairySlayer

      FairySlayer

      Like Marley wrote, make plans. In the Britcom "Coupling" one of the characters explained the "Porn Buddy" concept in detail.

      My files (including history, cache, etc.) are automatically encrypted enough to stop plain old friends and family. That fact alone should scare them away from looking any further. :)

      Oh, SK's idea about cookies that burst into flames is pretty awesome. Imagine how you could "take care of your family issues" with them.

      Basically, you'd need to carmelize the insides to hold some high-proof liquor and then somehow use wintergreen Lifesavers as an ignition source (since they spark when crunched).

      I'll start typing a letter to Alton Brown for some thoughts on that.

    3. pittwitch

      LOL FS! If only I could wreak mayhem via cookie!

      Ooh! Tie the person to a chair, lock his or her head in a brace, and I'll give you hours of certain TV shows you can force upon this person. (You can probably guess which shows I have in mind; reality shows would be too cruel even for you!)

      The end result has been that I'll be taking more responsibility for the work, and the business partner (aka torture victim) will be stepping back and taking a break, which should also be a break on my nerves. :D

      Let's see: you're conscientious, good with (important!) details, plus you don't let anyone get away with BS. That makes you perfect for keeping the cashiers and those types in line.

      Oh, sheesh. And let me guess, they're of the opinion that you have nothing better to do than handle emergency calls.

      I know how you feel witch, my Nana had to go into a home two years ago now because she'd forgotten how to feed herself, and was prone to wandering the streets. It's hard to let go, but once you find a good place and get the ball rolling everyone will be better off. Most care facilities specializing in alzheimers and dementia have special cottages onsite for spouses to live, while still remaining mostly autonomous. So that should be an option. And as for the kids? Screw em. Seriously,...

    4. LockedBox

      LockedBox

      this is a bad situation but you know what's best here, not them, and unless they're willing to buck up and help, you do what you gotta do and hell to them. The only thing ignoring the problem will achieve is tears when the inevitable occurs.

  18. listening to TinyDancer's story ideas. At least one has some real promise. But, she'd NEVER be allowed to read it, lol.
