Steve!

Nope, don't think so. Dolly Parton Straight Talk James Woods

Superman, no bloody 2, 3, 4, or Forever

Well, call me deprived, but I've never seen Casablanca, although I *did* guess that that was what that clip was from.

Sidney Poitier Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? Katherine Hepburn

So def, why don't you come on down for the GSpot anniversary party?

And don't forget vacation. Of course, if the going rate for your field is adequate, you don't need to think about incorporating those things into your rate, but you do need to think about setting aside part of what you receive, so that you are covered.

Oh, gawd, you're not still with AOL, are you? Raf, I thought you were *waaaay* more intelligent than that!

Thousands and thousands of stores *also* sell anti-bacterial dish soap, and anti-bacterial other products, which if you knew as much as you say you did about biology, would realize is a *very* bad thing. Hello, they sell what wil make them money - if it isn't harmful (as far as they know) and has a good profit margin, and people *think* it will help them, THEY WILL SELL IT.

So, wait, Raf, what are you trying to say? Are you trying to imply that Penta water is bunk? quackery? snake oil? an actor in the placebo effect? Please say it isn't so!

One big thing to remember is that you have to incorporate your cost of benefits into your rate. And document the crap out of *everything*. Don't let yourself get on the hook for work that isn't in the original agreement. Don't let yourself get on the hook for work that isn't in the original agreement. Don't let yourself get on the hook for work that isn't in the original agreement. At least, not without an amendment to the agreement and additional fees, unless you are doing it as a "goodwill" gesture. But if you do that, make sure that it is understood to be exactly that.

Orlando, Florida - Walt Disney World. Or Las Vegas.

Galen - it's not about fixing the cars, it's *all about* the commiserating. Haven't you ever heard of "male bonding"?

Yo, Pawtucket, that's a bitchin counter-downer over in the Computers forum. Don't tell me, let me guess - one of the things it's counting down to is GSpots 5th anniversary.

I saw guys doing that just last weekend.

He just doesn't understand the gist of what's been said. He must somehow think that the posts are complimentary of docvic(praise be his name).

Psalami - I'm glad you're happy with your move, and everything, but I woulda thought you'da been more careful. You left quite a trail of pig poop from Baltimore all the way down to Atlanta. Ummm, Herbiemike - what are mole crickets?

Joji san - What is "MOS"? Oh, and I agree about the deplorable state of in-flight movies. I guess they need to appeal to as many people as possible, and at the same time be inexpensive.

But they *did* hint that his wife lost interest in him, and the movie did show that she was having an affair.

CG, everyone heals at different rates. Some people never need a counselor, some need one for a few weeks, some need one for years. For some here, yes, it is *very* therapeutic to get it all out, because more keeps coming out, little by little. With over 6 BILLION people in the world, there is NO SUCH THING as "one size fits all".

In my case, I don't often post on those threads. Smatter of fact, I often avoid them, because they get boring and repetitive. I mostly post in the Open forum, the Computers forum, the Reading forum, and the Humor forum. But don't downplay the necessity of the threads being there for innies - I occasionally hear from innies that are *very* grateful for the info that is there.

For the same reason that 40% of a Monday through Friday work-week falls on Monday or Friday. By the way - *my* birthday and *my ex's* birthday ALSO fall on the same day of the week every year - not only that, but they are on the same day of the month, just different months.

Out There, Cindy! and I are in the Chicago area, come on down for the GSpot Anniversary party this weekend.

Raf - Try it sometime. Much more often than not, in a group of 23 people, 2 will share a birthday. But not always.

Darth Vader didn't know of more than one baby. He only knew of the one, remember his surprise in TESB, "oh, you have a sister!"?

Actually, Belle, Doobie Briarwick *does* sound like a porn name!
