I LOVE my Crocs. Despite how hideous and trendy they currently are, they are soooooo comfortable.
I recently did a day of power touring LA in mine, and was surprised at the end of the day when my feet didn't hurt AT ALL and I was blister free.
She could go to the United States, assuming a felon would be allowed in. I am always shocked by how few people here know who she is or have heard of the murders.
You are right. The scales of justice are too boring, and I'm going with the Liger.
I'm now going to sit here and giggle and think about how much more fun the clients would be if they selected me because of my Liger logo.
Heh.
Thanks for the recommendations.
I'm going to pay for whatever work I have done. I was more interested in where to go and what questions to ask.
I wouldn't ask a group of students to do work on spec. Having been a starving student for years, this just seems cruel.
Thanks for all the help!

If the story could be even one tenth as amusing as the one about choosing politicians based on their plumage, I would treasure it forever.
Of course, I would probably also treasure a grocery list if it were written by her.
I have a friend in rural Colorado who was unable to get high speed internet through the cable company or phone company, and satellite wasn't an option. After dialing up for years, he was finally able to get DSL through making a pact with the devil and signing up with AOL Broadband. Through some sort of AOL wizardry, they were able to get him DSL when no one else could. This might be an option, if you can stomach giving AOL your money.
Things like that make me very glad that I am no longer forced to work as a telemarketer and deal with people like this. I rank it right up there with the people who blow whistles into the phone.
Because it is funny to mock/harass/injure the minimum wage slave person calling you?
Thank god no one finds any sport in harassing me at my current job.
"More material for fat, lazy Americans to dump into ever-growing landfills."
Um, okay.
They have been selling these at a gas station close to my house all summer, so I'm not sure this is really very new.
eBay has been shutting down these types of auction descriptions lately. I think it was the wedding dress guy who ruined it for everyone.
His long story doesn't seem to be helping the price much though.
I'm not sure why everyone thinks the handicapped stall is the cleanest.
I spent a summer cleaning bathroom stalls (among other things) as a way to pay my tuition, and I was always surprised by how the handicapped stall required the most toilet paper.
It seems logical that if it requires the most tp, most people are using it and it is not the cleanest.
The stall that consistently required the least toilet paper was the first one. Ten years later as an adult, I have a hard time using any stall but the first one.
Topic? Yeah, use the handicapped stall and then lather for at least fifteen seconds under very hot water.
A few weeks ago I had my car window smashed and my cell phone stolen out of the car.
I don't really see the difference between what happened to my car and what happened to these people, except that my insurance paid for the damage while these folks are out of luck.
Just because you don't like something doesn't mean you get to smash it (or else I have a lot of aggression to take out on those escalator standers).
Wonderful link-thank you.
I remember listening to the accounts of this on NPR ten years ago and wondering why I wasn't hearing about it from any other news source.
Reading it today, ten years later, I still have the same sense that this must be unreal-surely if something like this had actually happened we would have done something to stop it. Right?
What happened (is happening) is awful and tragic almost beyond comprehension, and yet I'm always confronted with blank expressions when I mention this as an example of modern genocide.
