@polly -- hate to break it to you, but every man here is not your husband.
@alive -- the "ONE TIME" she's referring to in that email is the time I related in the story -- the "ugh, this is boring" time. Her POV is that it's unfair of me (to her) to have taken "ugh, this is boring" personally. I'm not sure how that came up -- we're in the midst (even now, at 4:50 a.m.) of one of our 100-iteration back-and-forth, cut-and-paste e-mail arguments. You'd see some doozies if I pasted hers in -- you'd be amazed at what she hears me say when I think I'm saying something totally different.
@kettricken -- "deleted for being overly obnoxious" --
@alive -- this is all regurgitated from Threads 1 and 2, but every time -- every time, mind you, not a hyperbolic "every time" but every time, I suggested I get a "straight job," and give up my current cobbled-together, higgeldy-piggeldy, fame-but-no-fortune generating job (btw, let me giggle with you in the alt about how I'm suddenly Joe Hollywood -- Monsoor Watch Out, Smiley's Person in the hiz-zay!), I was told -- explicitly and in no uncertain terms by WAW -- "no, don't do that, we need your flexibility because if you work 9 to 5 then I can't and I don't want that, plus your health insurance is much better and much cheaper than mine -- and both of those give us value that doesn't get counted in earnings."
