Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

[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.

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.

Aw, my co-workers just gave me a Powerpuff Girls fudge cake with "Happy birthday, M...." in pink icing. Hee!

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.)

Quick shallow fashion dithering question: I'm going to see Rasputina tonight. Should I wear black ringlet hair falls, or black dreadlock hair falls (with a mini top hat, black skirt, petticoats, corset, and high-collared blouse)?
