Bravo, Sunil. Just... bravo. Way to take charge. Keep it up. Seriously.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Bad -- feels like the sort of compromise that seemed so disturbing yesterday.
I don't think she means, "Check them out because we want you to move to North Carolina." We have relatives over there too, who had offered to put me up if I wanted to move there and look for a job. It was just a suggestion, nothing forceful about it.
Er, um, true but you should already know how to dress for a job interview.
No, she didn't mean for a job interview, she meant when I go outside. Also, I should learn how to shave properly, because I should want girls to like me.

Mostly lurking...
Oh. My. God.
My boss keeps disappearing. She'll say, "Oh, I have to run to the potty. I'll be back in five minutes." Then she'll come back 30 minutes later. And just now she came back after being gone for over an hour and a half when she said she'd be gone for 20 minutes. She *just* disappeared again. Geesh!

Maybe she has a GI upset, vw.
I hope you don't need her for anything time sensitive today, whatever her motivation.

Now tagless for your comfort.

According to Kyan, not very many straight guys know how to do this. The key is product (shaving cream or gel AND a moisturizer afterwards) and shaving WITH the grain.

Hey. New board.
Hmm. I'm not sure what the grain of my whiskers is. I do use both shaving gel and a post-shave moisturizer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

First I shave with the grain, then I shave against the grain. That results in a very close shave.
I don't do the moisturizer afterwards, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Also, apply product from the back.

Librarian Warlord
Good morning, Bitches! The book-free library feeds into one of my librarian nightmares that I've been having -- homogenous collections. While we're still buying more books than we were, say, 10 years ago when I started as a librarian, we're also buying these huge, expensive databases of material that has been digitized. It's material we already own in paper form. To afford the last 100K database, we cancelled copies of many serials for which we were the only library source west of the Mississippi. To give up the uniqueness of our collections and all end up with the same expensive databases makes me cry a little inside.
P-C, congratulations on a good conversation with your Mother. Remember it is possible.
Libkitty! Nice hair!
