My Apologies
 
I'm sorry if I caused any problems by posting an unknown person on the Internet to be subject to mockery. Quite frankly, the photos in my series were selected based on facial expression and not how poorly the subject was dressed.

Given that this is the FB, though, it is not surprising that people jumped to the conclusion that I was derisively holding these "private citizens" up for mockery. This was not the case.

Apparently, those in the public domain, such as celebrities and reality tv contestants are valid targets. With this in mind, I have re-envisioned my Fashionable Accountant exhibit and hereby launch it with the following "famous" accountant, Terri "Dirrrrty" Whitson:

There's a huge difference here, since pushy had the smarts not to link the photo from that person's website. He uploaded it to a non-related server before posting.

(and now, since I resized it, it's loaded on our servers)

My mother got a trip to Mexico, courtesy of my dad. He's tagging along to make sure that she's properly pampered the entire time. I threw in free babysitting for her puppy while they are gone. I think that I'll also get her a solar powered fountain for her deck, because she admired it when we were recently shopping at Smith & Hawkins.

And you thought there was racism on AI

Perhaps an irrelevant aside, I was quite surprised when the verdict came down that this was true. However, the crying white people I knew of (personally - there were probably bunches shown on the evening news, but I sort of ignored the whole thing while it was happening) was a friend and her co-workers in Canada. (OK, in fairness I don't know how many of them were white or not, but my friend was, anyway.) She called me a couple days after to ask what we thought about it down here, and I basically said "if he couldn't afford bigshot lawyers to manipulate the courtroom, he'd be screwed, but he walked and people with much crapier cases against them fry because money talks, and yeah that sucks."

Anyhow, my Kanuk friend launched into along speech about how we Americans just didn't understand how our justice system was viewed in the rest of the world, as a great forum for ensuring fairness etc., and the manipulation of evidence & jurors racial sentiment was just a crushing blow to people who admired the model of free government the US represented, and they were crushed, just crushed at this failure, and it seemed to the rest of the world that the whole US legal system was entirely corrupted by money and race. And she and her whole office broke down in tears and wept when the verdict came down because it was such a failure that the court system couldn't withstand money and racial hatred.

I have to tell you, this whole thing really sort of freaked me out. First, she was Canadian, so why did she care anyway? Second, she was never a particularly pro-Yank Canadian, either, so why was she so surprised? Third, who out there really think money doesn't affect that stuff here? I mean, really? Fourth, who cries about something like that? And her whole office? I gotta say, I really thought that someone just obviously slippled LSD into the water cooler up there that day, 'cause nothing else could explain it.

But, anyhow, the "point" of this digression was yes, it is absolutely true that white people sobbed when the verdict came down.
???????????? If I was within distance to do so and I saw a white person (or any person) sob at that verdict, I'd have relieved that person of some of his/her teeth.

Lets recap:

A probably methed senseless ex-running back/tv star kills his bleach blonde bimbo goldigger ex-wife in a fit of amphetamine psychosis in Brentwood - the center of America's cultutal heartland. Afterward, a cabal of whores including members of the families of all parties write books, cash in and mug for their "15 minutes". The defendant, being wealthy, hires a great trial team who does its job. The prosecutor (obviously not a golfer) tries to put a shrunken golf glove on the hand of OJ. Not surprisingly, it doesn't fit. The jury (likely non-golfers) of people who had nothing better to do with their summer decide to acquit. Afterward, everybody, including the prosecutors, gets rich. OJ goes to Fla where he lives off a fat pension.

It was like a season in America's cultural toilet. Or a study in how to lose a case but get really fucking rich anyway. I'd say it could be likened to Bonfire of the Vanities, but that might equate a filthy star-fucking whore like Dominic Dunne with the likes of Tom Wolfe.

S(same thing goes for the Skakel thing and Robert Blake thing)D

Take off the blouse, immediately.

RUN to the ladies room. Scream en route to ensure that an uncluttered path opens before you in the halls.

Rinse blouse with cold water, and soak for 5 minutes.*

Put the blouse back on, as is.

Walk back to your office. Slowly. Stop by my office, so we can inspect said spot and ensure it's all out.

Or, you can get yourself some rubbing alcohol, flush the stain with it a couple of times. Rinse. Don't use anything hot on it, let it air dry.

By the way, if for some reason this doesn't work, or it doesn't quite get it all out, before you wash the shirt, spray a good amount of hairspray on it, let the hairspray dry, wash as normal.

Gatti, this is the kind of maternal advice I was looking for, but, you'd might as well tell me where your office is.

Leagl, I've heard the hairspray thing before, but have never tried it, probably because I do not own any hairspray.

You can get me flowers for mother's day. Unlike ABBA, I like flowers. I don't really like carnations though, and roses are kind of boring.

I never use hairspray on my hair, I keep it around for stain removal though.

I've taken to tuberoses lately. Their fragrance becomes stronger at night, and I find it to be almost intoxicating. They're pretty for the first couple of days, but I keep them longer because the fragrance can last to almost a week and a half.

My dad is a physician, and he says that he's happy that he has three daughters because he knows that he'll always be taken care of. Daughters and daughters in law, he says, are the ones that spend the most time in the hospital with sick parents. They fight the most for information, make sure that the patient is getting what they think is the proper care, and spend the most hours on the floor. Obviously, he's generalizing, but anecdotally, it does seem to be the case that women take the care giving role on pretty readily.

Smartest move I made was putting a fridge in the rec room because now I don't have to travel upstairs for beer and possible run into a fucking person. Second smartest was ordering the NHL Center Ice package on the dish. Third was putting a slide bolt on the INSIDE of the basement door.

What oops? Take no bullshit and make no apologies. It falls upon the woman until you force it back where it belongs. Next time, do the start-up stuff--get the phone number, buy the gift wrap, whatever, then hand it to your partner with a firm "here, [x occasion] is coming up, you need to do [x--send a card, buy a gift]." Then forget about it for this and all future times. If he blows it, it's not your problem. Once he gets a grip on the concept, then you both can trade off/do favors if you're really busy, you work right next to a mall, etc.

You're getting a little carried away, MR. Take a deep breath and look in the mirror. Say to yourself, "I'm still just MR. I'm still just MR."

Isn't that an admin decision anyway? Didn't you say you were voluntarily removing yourself from the list of admins after we were up and running? How deep into your sick little brain did the limited power from the delete button sink?
