What book is it, Cass? I'm always up for a good military spy story.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

[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.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Maria, if it helps, that just makes me think "OMG, I have no idea what my credit score is..."
I did the hand-wavey thing for over 10 years. If I didn't know, then it couldn't be that bad. I couldn't even get a car loan at one point, but once I could qualify for a card from a company that wasn't under investigation for predatory lending practices AND had a rate less than 29.99%, I started keeping track. There's no way I'm going to let myself fall into the same trap again.
Edit: In addition to dropping points, I also seem to be dropping vowels.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
One of the many reasons I don't trust dating services.
Because I was in that dating pool?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Plan of Attack but please note that I *never* claimed it was actually good, just spy-ish and naval (not navel, it is really not at all introspective).
However, some of the bad bad bad terrible no good guys do seem intent on wanting to make DG go boom. So there is the meta in that at least.

Heh. See, I know it can't be nearly that bad--I got a perfectly decent car loan and all that jazz. But tracking point by point? I fear I'll miss some mythical mortgage cutoff by random bizarre minutia and wish I'd known....and yet, the energy to care still escapes me.

Heh. Reading through some Amazon reviews of stuff, I came across this:
Collections like this one are a great way to introduce people to some of the great music that's been out there, but the title 'one hit wonder' is so often fragrantly misused.
Mmmm. Smells like one-hit wonders.

BACK OFF MY BITCHES, WORLD!!!Yes, listen to Kristin for she is wise in this.
How are you doing tonight? Are you feeling better?
Okay a painfully hot bath, a nicely cold beer and a some fine U.S. pharmacuticals (Which, okay, googling tells me is usually dosed out at three times what I have. Explains the painful wimpiness of it.) are good things when combined. Now to ice. I didn't drain the tub yet as I suspect there is another round in the offing before I can try for sleep.
