I'm not generally the kind of person to say that something only occurs in one place ala "only in San Francisco" because that is quite a narrow view of things I think, but I think Osento's Gender Policy Blurb may qualify as an "only in San Francisco" sort of thing...
Osento Gender Policy Statement1. If you were born female and are transitioning and have not had genital reassignment surgery you are welcome at Osento. However, if you consider yourself male, please respect this as a female only space and do not come in.
2. If you are a female who was born male and have had genital reassignment surgery you are welcome at Osento.
3. All other females 14 years and older of all races, colors, sizes, abilities, religions, affectional persuasions, pierced, tattooed, or other body modifications are also welcome here. Lesbians, straights, bisexuals, stone butches, spiked hair, no hair, blue or pink hair, grandmothers, granddaughters, professionals in business suits, strippers, blue collar, white collar, no collar, union, non-union, and all other females are welcome at Osento.PLEASE HELP ME KEEP OSENTO A SAFE RELAXING SPACE.

I just got my IconBuffet Delivery of the Taipei Plastic Primates icon set. I totally love tis set, but I'd like to get some of the other sets.
I'm looking for:
Taipei Buddies 1 and 2
Taipei Night Market
Manhattan Night Life
Oslo Atmosphere
and Oslo Finance
If you have any of these, let me know and I'll send you Taipei Plastic Primates and Shanghai Tech in exchange for any or all of them. And big ups to iconbuffet for the cool icons and even cooler icon-junkie trading scene that has emerged because of them.

Moving? How do you know if you're getting ripped off or not? Well the easiest way is to just do it yourself. But if you've just got too much stuff to do it yourself and really don't want to simplify, try checking out the government's Protect Your Move site. It lists a lot of moving companies and their complaint records which is nice so you can find out if there have been problems in the past with those burly guys coming to take your things to their new home.
