Good luck, but why should they? It would seem that they'd need more proof than just a sad letter from you - if that worked, everybody would write one. It's not that your claim is bogus, it's that you had pretty much entered a contract, and contracts usually have pretty specific terms for release. (They're also often time related.) If I were somebody in the finance office, I'd want something else, like a doctor's letter corroborating your statement. But that's just me - maybe they'll be willing to negotiate .

No prob. If she gives you a hard time, make her read a book about Louis Pasteur or Josef Lister or Ignaz Semmelweis. She may not believe them either, but at least she can't read and ask questions at the same time.

Tell her that she's thinking of mold. Bacteria and viruses live everywhere, even in the extreme conditions of space; in fact, there are those that thrive and become more virulent in what we would consider unlivable conditions.

On the up side, the bird shit is all on his side of the building. One can only hope that they start roosting on his windowsill in anticipation.

Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, and sometimes the lion's gotta roar.

Are you sure you want to? That malt liquor smell is never coming out of the upholstery, especially if he pukes.

He can only go if there's a bus stop nearby.

Almost no one words properly any more. Noah Webster is rotating in his grave.

Not necessarily. I have a 30 year old gold crown on one of my molars, and I haven't had any problems with that tooth since the day it was put on.

Except that he'd drink both of them.

A random mention of Chris Chan.

Only if you can't remember the words.

What happened to the blue?

Or when the music in the supermarket sounds really really good.

That's because you're not

If you had a sandwich, you can probably thank both of them.
