'Dirty Girls'


Goodbye and Good Riddance 2004: Well, I Wasn't Expecting That.  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2004? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

What is even happening?

Well Bells, you're member #1572. If we subtract billytea himself, you'll need to pass on 1571 hugs. At least. Lucky you!

But no one in Australia says 'shrimp', unless they're referring to a person of unusually small stature (which I think I qualify as, but that's beside the point).

Prawns, yes?

Ooh that's a daunting prospect...that many hugs? I'm sure he'll be glad to know (like he didn't already) that you all care so much.

And yes, it's prawns. :-)

Always Anti-fascist!

Bells, come down to Bitches and lust if you want. I do it all the time, mostly about people Bitches don't watch.

I just might. Ta.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

In addition to the presents I listed this morning, I also received from Deena...

  • (clarification) Dark chocolates
  • a gold candle and holder
  • 2 bath soaps and 2 bath bombs

I am in heaven! Thanks so much Deena!

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Just remember to pace yourself, Bells.

With the hugs, that is. As for the lusting, I'll second erika's suggestion and raise a knock yourself out. And by knock yourself out, I mean porn...

Always Anti-fascist!

The porn comes first then the unconsciousness. Um, I've heard.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Beathen, yay! So glad you like it. Now I'm happy.

Okay, Java cat is the best seekrit Santa. I arrived home to find a package containing a beautiful bowl, Deb's book, two pairs of hilarious toe socks, a cat ornament (that scares my cats), a twig pen, and a journal. Thanks so much Java! It's awesome!

JZ - current advice re hair dyeing and procreation is very strongly on the 'go natural' side of the fence. Although I do believe the advice can be qualified thusly:

1. Avoid dyeing hair at all costs in the first trimester 2. If you MUST dye in the remaining months, go for rinses and semi products only.

Sad, but true, I'm afraid.

Not sure about going cold turkey on it pre-conception. I haven't seen anything like that so think it's probably ok???
