He is quite the opportunist, turn your back for a second and the toilet is full of liquid soap.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

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.

Leif sounds like he'll go far. Quite an eye for opportunity.
Particularly since he understands the concept of getting what you want on the backs on others.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Two year old's are so adorable that way; as long as they are doing that kind of thing in their parent's home and not in mine.

What is even happening?
You know one time this weekend I had a big coughing spasm in the kitchen and fell to my hands and knees. Leif took that moment to climb onto my back so he could reach the donuts on the counter.
Oh my word, my husband has been posting as Gud, and has forgotten the ages of our children, and okay, one child entirely, but still...This is epitomizes our family dynamic.

Our wings are not tired.

Hee. I think my 10yo would still take this opportunity.
eta: really sorry about the icky coughing stuff, but thanks for the giggle.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Once I had a leg cast (that covered my entire leg) - I was on a bus and I had my leg stretched out in front of me. I had the first forward-facing seat, so my leg sat alongside the last of the sideways-facing seats in front of me.
A kid of about two used my leg in its cast as a step for climbing onto the seat. (Luckily the cast could easily bear his weight.)

Good luck Maria. May it be as easy for you as it was for me.
The relief is like...um...a really, really good feeling. (Can't think of a 'weight off' analogy that quite covers it...I know you know what I mean.)

Poor O. Hugs for everybody, yays for everybody.
I'm cheap. How about you come over and collect it? I could put you up for the night.
You bet, bt. Let me get to work on that ticket....
As for the whole cyberpunk thing, I've heard Stephenson's Cryptonomicon described as cypherpunk, as it's so heavily based on codes, cyphers, and deception in general.
Unfortunately, I don't have any other recs at the moment. I'm still working out the gronk.
