Nowadays, Britons think "Eh, whatever"
Americans, otoh, bizarrely fascinated.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

On the contrary, Charles had an elaborate P.R. "See, my girlfriend's not so bad" campaign going that was thwarted when Diana died, causing a wave of anti-Camilla feeling.
Oddly, I saw some of that today. I admit to having been baffled.
But then, Diana didn't like horses, so I always thought she was a bit of a twit, and Charles a fool for marrying her.

If I only had a brain...
Of course. We don't have kings and queens, so we have to worship Hollywood stars instead.
We're just as fascinated with Brad and Jennifer. (As a collective, that is; individually, many of us have never forgiven Brad for the time he bit our sister's moose.)

What is even happening?
The divorce is just not recognized. In the eyes of the church, no such thing, never happened. So Camilla is still married, as was Charles up until Diana died. There's a fairly solid logic to it, even if it does produce some odd situations.
My guess is as many of us as not are used to hearing, "What God has joined together, let no man put asunder," in the wedding liturgy.

Actually, I hear that routinely, and I've heard it in weddings that then broke up.
I don't find the concept of an indissoluble marriage at all odd. What I find strange is the concept of a semi-soluble marriage.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What I find strange is the concept of a semi-soluble marriage.
Marriages that are soluble at higher temperatures, but at lower temperatures they precipitate?

Now tagless for your comfort.
This babysitting thing is a pain in the ass. I've called four people. Our high school girl can't because she has ski club. Our college girl can't because she's already booked. Two friends of mine already have plans.
Looks like O is coming out to the birthday dinner with us. I blame the party planner. He didn't send us the invite until Tuesday. Not enough time for me to get a sitter.

Hey, hivemind--how long does it normally take to get your glucose tol test results back?

(That's what I meant--I think my wording was awkward)
and I've heard it in weddings that then broke up.Yes. I was just agreeing with brenda about the consistency of the policy, where the divorce just doesn't exist in the eyes of the Anglican church.
I don't find the concept of an indissoluble marriage at all odd. What I find strange is the concept of a semi-soluble marriage.
Me, too.
edited because brenda tried to trick me into thinking that she was beth.
