I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Spike's Bitches 24: I'm Very Seldom Naughty.  

[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.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Egad, JZ. Even breaking down DW's words into multiple sentences would be an improvement.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

6 to 8 weeks. On the BPAL forum, Brian the Shipping God posted on June 2nd that orders up to April 14th have been shipped: "However there are some orders as far back as 4-1 that are being held up by some certain oils and we will ship them out as soon as we are able."

Cool. CCnet sent me something saying my order should have been shipped on May 31st, priority mail, which means it should have been here already, but I didn't know if the ship date was accurate, since it didn't come from BPAL itself

which conveys the same thing in 18 fewer words.

Heh. It could just be that after 10 years (egad! 10 freaking years!) of editing stuff like that, it reads normally to me.

Question for people who have ordered online from Black Phoenix alchemy: How long does it usually take to get to you?

About as long as it took for Odysseus to make his way back to Penelope.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Any day in retail is a success if you don't maim the customers.

Truer words were never spoken.

I've been in a wierd funk lately. I spent the weekend with a lovingly patient BF, but I really just wanted to hole up in my darkened apt. in my jammies with no one but my cat. I think it's a residual from seeing my dad last week. He had a couple of strokes last year and is doing...well, not that great, really. He looks 20 years older than he did just one year ago. It sucks watching a strong, independent man become a frail old man who can't be left alone.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The bastards srcewed me with corn syrup back in the day, if they won't bottle with sugar I see no reason not be fickle.

Do you know about kosher for passover Coke, t? They use sugar instead of corn syrup and in springtime you can stock up on the bottles with the marked caps. Also, Canadian and Mexican Coke use more (though maybe not all) sugar.

NYC tap water is some of the best in the country in survey after survey. It's a flavor adjustment, but you may never want to go back once you've made it.

CCnet ship messages are notorious for being not-true. According to info on the BPAL forum, the CCnet message just means that's when CCnet finally told the Lab that your order was processed on *their* end.

When did you place your order? If it was at the end of May, it should turn up early July-ish.

It was the end of May. I guess I can wait.

Perkins, what did you order?

A sampler set with pannychis; peitho; Santa Eularia Des Riu; Tulzha, Anne Bonny, Bewitched, all of which I picked pretty much at random.

Anne Bonny is one that I wanted to try. But after finding out that they all turn to Play-Doh smell on me, I haven't ordered any more. Boo hoo.
