I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

[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.

So glad to hear that life is good for bt, and that vw's value is appreciated by prospective employers! (And vw, putting on my unsolicited advice hat, I'd say if you're offered this job, take it and don't worry about the might-have-beens from next week's interview or any other resumes you have out there--the work itself looks fabulous and in line with your interests, and I'm sure you know how rare benefits like they're offering are with part-time work.)

Oh, and DH talked to his online community of choice about the rifle thing, and their consensus was, "We see your point about the gun, but none of those objections really apply to a bayonet or sword." Of course, my character wouldn't have had a sword, but fortunately a Baker rifle bayonet is a decorative object all by itself: [link] I'd probably get the rifle, too (if I ordered from this site, I'd have to), but I wouldn't mind storing it elsewhere. And then maybe I could add a sword or two to the collection later--that site doesn't have the kind of swords either of the next two heroes I'm planning would've worn, but maybe somebody else will....

I guess this is that "compromise" thing of which you speak.

Timelies All!

vw - still vibing madly, sounds like it's working!

Cash - darn cute kid you got there. Glad your trip went so well.

Umm, don't remember anything else...

Oh, I don't know if that's the specific camera he wants (it's some kind of fancy-schmancy digital), but once he told me that A) he was serious about photography, and B) our current camera is damaged and out of warranty, that much was given. It's just a matter of when, and where the money comes from. So he's getting his birthday money from his mom early and setting aside extra $$ from his paycheck toward the credit card, and plans to buy the camera before we go to Alabama next month.

ETA I am, however, still pissed that the current camera is broken already. It's only two years old! Cameras should last at least ten years, IMO.

Same goes for computers. I hate electronics that way.

It is, even if he doesn't know it.
