Welcome to the Hellmouth petting zoo.

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute  

[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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I just put the sealed envelope inside another envelope and write "hand stamp" on the outside.

I don't understand. Is this for mailing or giving? I don't get what writing "hand stamp" does.

I suddenly want to buy some sealing wax and find some sort of cow seal.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

sj, thanks for asking that. And Kristin, thanks for pointing out that not everyone likes having their tag change acknowledged.

Jess, Snapfish wants me to sign up. Are they good about the non-spamming thing?

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Nora, is there no way you could pull it off now?

Sadly, we do not have 40K for a down payment. We have kind of close to that, but not all that. I don't know. It might be an excellent investment, depending on the work on it that needs doing. A shade over 400K for a single family in Somerville is pretty good.

And, yeah, that's why we're looking outside of Somerville, too.

Traisping to a neighbor's bearing pie. Whee! It's my Somerville cab driver friend, he said he did great on the streets last night- but is taking tonight off.

I was not aware of this. If someone doesn't want their tag change acknowledged, I need to know so I won't do it. I'm sorry for any uncomfortableness I've unwittingly caused.

Dude, you do not need a huge downpayment, as a first time home buyer, there's often programs where you can do it with 5%--or even nothing! I mean, sure, better to have more, but if it's a house you'd want and a good price? TRY!

(Also....damn. That's a lot of money saved. I'm never gonna afford a house, am I?)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I miss the days when people sealed envelopes with hot wax and a pressed seal. Well, I can't really miss them since I wasn't there, but I see it in movies and I think it's cool.
Oh I love wax seals. I used to have a set but no more. Of course I also used to write actual letters too. I should prolly start the letter writing before I buy the prettifying things.
"...shoes and ships and sealing wax, and cabbages and kings."
I heart Bev. And am earwormed. "And why the sea is boiling hot..." ( global warming!!!! ) I don't mind. Well I mind the global warming but not the earworm. It is comforting actually. Like mashed potatoes.

After weeks and weeks of torrential rain here, it is strange watching the weather woes from afar. Because it is freakish weather in San Diego. Gorgeous, but this isn't supposed to be January even in paradise.

Hi there. I think I made it through the weekend. But I will check again in the morning just to be sure.

Because I took DxH to the airport earlier and he is officially gone now. In every sense.

However in the interest of being good to myself, I went to the farmer's market for some fresh flowers (I splurged -- some very-early-in-the-year yellow freesia that smell like I think heaven must, pale pink Gerber daisies, deep purple tulips that haven't opened yet but likely will by morning and some red roses).

And I walked along the ocean for a half hour or so. The water is still very January, choppy and cold and rather inhospitable to people. I love the ocean in winter. It looks wild still, not at all tamed.

Now I am wishing I had a good book to read. Curl up on the couch with some tea, a book, a light blankie and fall asleep reading with a cat (or two) next to me...

Our wings are not tired.

Hi Cass! My sistah in beach strolling. I walked a half hour on the beach this morning for the first time in about forever. It was wonderful, not cold though. 60's maybe. Good to see you taking care of yourself.

What is even happening?

Yeah, I know about that, but it's kind of unwieldy. I'm a fan of HREFs. I'll just wait until the new tag is displayed here from now on.
I just meant that by way of general information. I generally don't click on the b.org links posted here (by anyone, for any reason) unless I know what thread it's linking to, because when I have, I've lost my place in the thread. Unwieldy how, though?
