Can't y'all be in Natter, that's where I'm doing all my hair pulling and railing at the heavens.
I'm not on the ship. I'm in the ship. I am the ship.

[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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
But bombing feels so much more evitable than natural disaster. Do you really think the people of the city will be able to shake off the fear of a repeat?
Ask the people living in the floodplain all up and down the Mississippi.
Weather and natural disaster-wise, I think New Orleans barely makes the standard of "habitable", and never has. And yet, it's risen before. I'm praying this won't go down the way it looks to be going, and I can't imagine it ever being the same, and it's heartbreaking. But damn, people are resilient.

move out and draw fire
Skipping and skimming to wish meara and Jen happy Birthdayafters! Sorry I missed you yesterday, but I was away with the guests.
Who are now packed off to Mykonos, Knossos, and Santorini for the week. I've never been so glad to see guests depart ever, not even my MiL after two months. And I'm kind of giggling at the thought of our friend's reaction when he gets to Mykonos and realizes how gay-friendly it is.
I'm probably going to revise the recipes I sent in for the cookbook, as I've been playing Raq's Test Kitchen and serving them to my guests, and I think I tweaked them for the better.

Mykonos
That's where I got my hair cut! Actually it was at Salon Mykonos, because my hairdresser's from there.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Running in before bed to apologise for not getting to say Happy on the day for Jen's and meara's birthdays.
Happy Belated, pretty wimmins!

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
According to my records, meara's birthday is today. I don't have a record for Jen, but since meara said they're on the same day, I think we're safe.
Happy birthday meara!
Happy birthday Jen!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Oh, Happy one day late Birthday, Jen and meara! Safety~ma to everyone in the path of the hurricane.

Nilly just posted her happies in Natter, so I think you're right, Deena.
I have studiously avoided all coverage of the hurricane, other than Buffista discussion. It's too awful and I tend to dwell on things like this. That said, someone just mentioned in Natter that it had been downgraded to a cat 4. They mentioned 155 mph winds though, so I don't know if this is enough difference to make a difference.
