That's what I would do.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Is his German in an accent?
His German apparently pleases native Germans. When the Olympics were here, he got invited to a party at Germany House by the German Minister of Trade, who Hubby met in an elevator at Brigham Young University. Hubby was attending a sci-fi convention in the building and the Trade Minister was headed up to a conference on the top floor where Vice-President Cheney was in attendance.

OF course, if Hubby really is a German double agent, the whole 'No, I met him by accident in an elevator' story is even more unlikely.

I'm sorry, Deb.The past is always with us.
I'm glad things look better today, Gud. I'm also glad that Deena's Nick is looking at going back to school, but wish that he would discuss it at a more civilized hour.
I've done the same thing with clients several times, Nora, with no repercussions.

What is even happening?
OF course, if Hubby really is a German double agent, the whole 'No, I met him by accident in an elevator' story is even more unlikely.Yeah. What sci-fi-convention-attending-guy meets the German Minister of Trade, in an elevator, in Utah, at BYU no less, by accident, and gets invited to a party by him? C'mon. Jack Bauer wouldn't buy that cover for a second.

Though isn't part of it not being old and/or mature enough to really get it?
Part of what? I'm not sure I'm following the train of thought. I may need more coffee. But yes, of course one can be too young/immature to appreciate a book, regardless of how (or if) it's taught. For 9th graders, White Fang shouldn't be a problem. It usually gets presented as a story about a doggie and the gold rush with some good vocabulary words, and if nobody asks kids to look for anything more than that, most of them won't. And then they'll forget all about it it as soon as the test's over, because it was meaningless.
And I understand why that happens; I'm not blaming the teachers. It's just a shame that it happens so often.
Wasn't Willoughby Chase about Guy Fawkes? Ish? Or was that a different one?

FUCKING FUCKING FUCK.
I Hate fucking ADP. They did not deposit Tom's paycheck into the joint account, and we are way overextended, and while the fucking paper check he's got in his hands is sweet and fucking QUAINT, it won't clear through till Tuesday, and we have $640 out to the mechanics, $500+ to AmEx.
JESUS. Fucking incompetants. I feel so fucking violent right now.

Nora, won't the bank take it into account, even if it hasn't cleared yet? Ours does. I am sorry, though. That's just so frustrating.

What I remember is that Orphaned Cousin comes to live with Uncle, Aunt, and Cousin. Both cousins are girls, and become fast friends. Uncle and Aunt go on trip of some sort, leaving girls with Mean Governess, who locks them in a cupboard and feeds them only breadcrusts. Uncle and Aunt are allegedly in an accident while on their trip, and presumed dead.
Mean Governess sends girls off to Oliver Twist-like orphanage, where things don't look up for them.
I won't spoil the ending.
