Sean, are you sure they're coyotes? I mean, have you looked? Because if you didn't get a visual ID, it probably was an Elder God. I hear they like to hang in Hollywood these days.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

[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.

The coyote stories are both creepy and amusing. I hear we have some in DC, as well, but I haven't seen them yet. I think the rats are fighting them off. Because god knows our rats are big enough to do so.
New Rant: So, if your place of work is CALLED "FedEx/Kinkos", you should either know how to work the FedEx stuff, or you should know which coworker does, so you can say "I'm sorry, I'm not really familiar with that yet, but [insertcoworkername] can help you". You should NOT insist that it can't be done, then try to do it, leave me very suspicious if the package I just paid $25 for will actually make it to it's destination and back to me, AND make me nearly miss the last pickup at your store (when I got there 45 minutes before it). DAMN. I've taken a comment card to send in and complain.
(I'm sending in a visa application. I had to prepay for them to send it back to me. I'm still worried it won't get sent back to me. Since I need my passport back rather urgently--like, don't have time to fuck around with people leaving messages that I need to come get it or send them money or whatever, which would probably take extra days for them to bother to do? This is a large concern)

Now tagless for your comfort.
I wish I had more practical experience with BF before I tried it. Someone to say, "hell, yeah, it's going to hurt for a little while." Instead of it hurting and then reading all this crap about how if it hurts, you're doing it wrong--the latch is wrong, etc. Never said, "if your baby sucks like a hoover, it might also hurt." Pfffftttttbbbbb. I'd have tried harder to stick it out. Rather than get discouraged that I was doing it wrong and give up. But the BF books are afraid of scaring women out of doing it. *sigh* /Rantypants
DH just called. He said chances are "slim" he'll make it home tonight. His flight out of Tallahassee was delayed and he only had a 40 minutes to make a connecting flight in Charlotte. If he can't get a later flight out of Charlotte, he's screwed.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

This is a really funny paragraph until you realize BF /= boyfriend.

Hah! That's what I was thinking, Aimee! I saw "practical experience/try it/BF" and thought "WHAT did she want to try with her boyfriend that hurt?? Whoah!". And then realized BF was breastfeeding, and not so much.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
and my post was basically regurgitating what I'd said to them, more from the pov of venting than informing anyone here of something they didn't already know
Sorry. I'd misunderstood this.
Rather than having a default setting of Jewish = victims, everyone here has a default setting of Jewish = aggressors.
I can't recall seeing any argument for Israel starting from a "Jewish=victims" setting written any time in my lifetime. At least, not anything applied to any current events; I have seen it in discussions of the fight for independence. (FTR, I think "Jews were victims of the Holocaust, and therefore deserve Israel" is bad logic and not likely to convince anyone of anything anytime soon. The best argument for Israel that I can see, from that sort of perspective, is looking at the number of countries that wouldn't take in Jewish refugees, but I'm not even positive that that's the best perspective to start from.)
(Also, a bunch of this is just getting stirred up in my brain right now by my complete and utter frustration over the British academic boycott, and I can feel myself headed into a rant, which I don't really want to do, so I'll end it here.)
