Friday Five 1. What does it say in the signature line of your emails?
    Nothing in the one that routes from here and from b.org. Name & 2 phone #s on main personal email. Work email has a full blown long signature, address, etc.

2. Did you have a senior quote in your high school yearbook? What was it? If you haven't graduated yet, what would you like your quote to be?
    Ours didn't have quotes.

3. If you had vanity plates on your car, what would they read? If you already have them, what do they say?
    I pay $15/year for Wayne Thibeaux (sp?) palm trees plates because (1) the money goes to school art programs and (2) it's tax deductible. I asked for random numbers/letters but they sent me " SAD XXX," which I'm not crazy about but fit at the time I rec'd it so I took it as An Acknowledgement From The Universe and a kind of End of A Chapter. 

4. Have you received any gifts with messages engraved upon them? What did the inscription say?
    Yeah, a waterproof Seiko for my 25th birthday that has "LMT X-XX-XX (date of 25th b.day)" engraved on the back of the watch. Oh, and a Swiss Army knife with my name engraved on it. It's kept it from vanishing enough to pay for itself. My grandma used to give us silver flatware for Xmas with our initials engraved on it, too.

5. What would you like your epitaph to be?
    I already have a place on a family headstone (with a few square inches for ashes) and there's no room for anything except my name and two dates.  My mom has her name and one date carved on it already, which is kind of weird to go look at with her standing next to me.
What is it with people who can't be arsed to say "yes, thanks" or "no, thanks" to email invitations, especially when you know darn well that they are on line most of the day and are 99.99999% certain they've seen the invitation?   How fricking hard is it to hit reply and type two words? It's not like an essay is required. I don't get people and so so disagree with those who think that kind of passive silence is any version of polite.

God, I'm cranky. But that's bugged me a long time. My heroes are a people who just reply, "yes, thanks," or "no, thanks."  It's simple.
