(((Aimee))) Sounds scary but a hopefully positive scary.
Long week. Tired. Must crawl into bed and lose consciousness for a while, I think.
Atherton: Half the men in this room wish you were on their arm, tonight. Inara: Only half. I must be losing my indefinable allure.

[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.

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

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Jilli, I'd be tempted to booby-trap your lunch with something that would get ink or other goopy stuff all over the lunch bandit's hands.

Thrive to spite them
You need one of those exploding dye packets they put in money.

Good luck and calm~ma to you Aimee. You're much braver than I.
I called my cousin in Seattle today while I was outside with the dog. She caught me up on all the family gossip. The really bad news first. My uncle with Alzhimers was put in an assisted living facility a few weeks ago. It's not working out and he's going to have to go into a full time nursing home. To make things worse, their daughter, my cousin has breast cancer. There has been no mention of a mastectomy, so I'm hoping that that means it hasn't spread and isn't as bad as it could be.
In the sorta bad news, but kinda funny if you know our family- my other uncle (the dad of my cousin I was on the phone with) tried to cut off his leg with a chainsaw. (See even as I'm typing this I'm smiling because..oh I don't know, it's just such a Morgan thing to do). He borrowed one from one of the neighbors- no one in their right mind who knows us would let us within 5 feet of one. His wife just heard it start and was on her way out to tell him to stop when she heard him scream. The other genetic thing in my family is bad knees. Most of my aunts and uncles and quite a few cousins have had them replaced. So, on the upside, my uncles titanium replacement knees saved his leg because the chainsaw bounced off of them.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
That settles it. I'm moving to Minnesota.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh Daniel - did you see that I'm gonna be in Mpls tomorrow night?

No, I did not.
Face south and wave if you think of it.

You're near Mpls, right? Or not?

Your tag here.
So, my friends (husband and wife) have invited me over to their house tomorrow for a noon cookout. The catch is, a friend of theirs will be there and the husband+wife team seem to want to set me up with her (yes, I'm one of those creepy single 30-somethings).
Problem is, I'm so not interested in this person, plus I think she's a little weird. I told my friends this but they don't seem to believe me or want to hear it. I'm thinking I might blow the whole shindig off and avoid the situation. Advice?
