You know you already are my obsession...

I think it's biological imperative. Once you have a baby your pheromones go away. No need to procreate, thanks, i got me one.

I like sex. In fact, some might even say I was pretty damn good at it. Not, you know LOTS of some, just some.

But today, in a conversation with my pharmacist, I realized how far I've come.

Metaphorically.

OBviously.

"So I'm really not sure what the issue is. I should have 3 packs left. I called for a refill and the recording says it wasnt possible. Ohhh. Yes. Uh huh. Right. Thats' right. No. I forgot. I mean I had some old ones in a prior pack so I just took those. Yeah. No, I didn't. I messed those up because I was substituting from the pack before. Yeah. Im a little off. No, no, I mean I have enough actually. I can just cobble together a pack from all the ones I've missed in the last packs. What? Oh no. laughing uproariously. Good LORD no. Please. He wishes. Nah, I'm not too worried about that. My husband would be delighted to hear you say it but I think we're all set."

What you didn't hear was that the pharmacist was trying to explain to me what to use as backup contraceptive.

I politely informed her that I had a 14 month old, and after she finished laughing, we both pleasantly hung up.

chortle chortle.

My Funny Husband

OBSCURE HUSBAND REFERENCE #1
Dinner tonight:
Vine tomatoes with balsamic and basil from the plants outside
fresh romaine with croutons and dressing
shucked corn on the cob
Nathans hotdogs.
Good old reliable Nathans.
Or is that too obscure?
Anyway..

Husband: This corn is REALLY good.
Wife aka Me: I KNOW. Honestly. It's awesome. gesticulates wildly with ear $.49 each
Husband: huh. Half a pirate*.

OBSCURE HUSBAND REFERENCE #2
At 4th of July Parade. 5 Native Americans march by.
Husband: waves. sotto voice. Thanks for the land!!!

OBSCURE HUSBAND REFERENCE #3
My friend having trouble with her coowners...
Wife: I had the best conversation today with Shannon. We were joking about my being Jew-lite and she summed it up perfectly. Instead of my saying "I'm short, dark haired and loud, I'll be adding articulate and neurotic. So descriptive!"
Husband: Wait a minute. She's Jewish? There's 3 people on the mortgage and no paperwork drawn up? What the hell kind of a Jew is she?

*Half a pirate. Buccaneer. Buck an Ear. $.49. Half. Get it?

Toys for Depressants

Is it me or would it be really funny to have a Tickle Me Emo doll. Like, the doll could just whine "Noooo, stop it. It's not funnnny..."

Message: Hi. I recently listed 4 items. For the 2nd, 3rd & 4th, I used the List Similar Items feature as well as the "look up item info" using the bar code feature.

As I listed each item, I changed the "3-5 word" header and the individual content(via bar code and adding item description). I proofed, then submitted. After submitting, the item listed as only partially correct. The subject line reverted to the original listings subject line and the item description only partially prepopulated - giving an accurate description but keeping the original postings header. After several attempts to edit on own, I contacted liveChat to indicate I think there might be some - and excuse me for not knowing the proper vernacular - coding issue. I am unable to edit the content out of the listing, nor does it appear in the edit screen. It ONLY appears when being viewed. I requested that either the live chat associate assist with revising or delete and I would relist - but that I didn't want to incur a fee. (Wasn't user error!) After over 40 minutes a very polite but quasiclueless associated advised that she couldn't identify my issue, that I should end the auction early, and that I would not get a refund.

So I'm writing to you to both A) ask you to look into the issue i.e Am I, in fact, a donkey? And B) Issue me a refund. If not for the sheer fact that the tool didn't work properly then for the fact that it took a good two hours of my day to list a bunch of cheapie items and it took 40 minutes for livechat to inform me that I couldn't be helped.

thank you
