No, but really. I don't feel like it. I have a new computer and it's not seeing the HDD, and I don't like this shit anymore. I didn't even look at it today, not even for a minute. It's just sitting there.

Someone else. I don't feel like it.

I'm having wedding nightmares. I don't know if I can take another three months of this.

There is salutation, a body of complete sentences with punctuation and capitalization, a closing, and a signature. That's about as casual as I get. (Check it out! First-name basis! I'm out of control! :freakout:)

Damn. With people I don't normally contact I feel bad if I don't have at least two sentences. And that was just for 'internal' customers, nevermind people outside the company.

I always close out an email with my name, I think it's polite when I use an email account common to 8-10 different people. I get these chained response emails in the office where it's confusing as to who said what to who. I hate that.

I have a default signature in email (which I don't always use as it is kinda formal for friends). And I always start with a hello or something like that. Most contacts I have for work have default sigs as well.

Does your email client add your name to the "From:" line? Signatures used to be useful, not mere formal neckties.

Sounds quite hurried indeed. But it answered both your questions clearly and unequivocally so it's hard to complain.

Ok. Now my blood pressure is over the top. I read the local journalist here in Lansing. Sometimes I participate in discussions in the 'BLOG.' But this time someone went over the top with me.

No one can say that taran and bill are closed minded. I'm certain that as much as you two enjoy discussing anal sex with children amongst your fellow pedophiles, your fixation probably keeps you busy.

Stupid cock sucking motherfucking asshole.

All I want is a simple black jacket and black skirt but you would think I'm looking for the fucking Holy Grail. For whatever Gawd unknown reason, once a clothing line hits size 18 and up (my territory) the clothes start getting uglier and uglier making me look either like a crack whore or (on the other end of the spectrum) like my grandmother.

Lane Bryant has some really pretty stuff. They're also not afraid of real colours (for future reference), which a lot of larger size clothiers seem to be.

I came in here to ask if anyone would lend me a raft or small sailboat so I could get to work this morning. Sheesh. Most of the east side of metro ATL is shut down due to flooding. Two of our major roadways through town are shut down in places. Everyone is calling out from work this morning because they can't get there.
