Oh juliana, I think they'd both look fantastic on you.

I'll get something that looks like this, but in red.

j, you would look hot with hair down to your ass, you betcha. But that first cut doesn't look any more difficult to maintain than the second one.

My hair is all re-shortified, as of Monday, and my stylist and I made plans to color my hair brown in another couple of months. Something new and wintery.

I wish you lived closer just so I could

Me too! (I might have filled in my own blanks here a little)

Ah, it's the chorus of There Really Should Be a Buffista Island again. Such a plaintive refrain.

Why am I not in San Diego today instead of here in meetings?

With two charming ladies who'd be pleased as punch to be nice to you? Why indeed? Quite the questionable decision-making, that.

It's been twitchy near mom's house too. Swarm of little earthquakes yesterday. And by swarm, I mean over a hundred and by little, I mean nothing much over 4.5 and by yesterday, I mean I haven't checked today.

How big of a dork am I that I get whiny 'cuz I never feel earthquakes?

Spider gone, Plei? Good good.

T. Gigantea? Yup, they are big buggers. And fast. Held the world record for spider speed until 1987. they've been clocked at 1.73 ft / sec or something.

Anyway, I had to go into the basement last night because I'd forgot to shut a window. I caught two T Giganteas who had obviously frozen in place because they were all "What the fuck? Where'd the light come from?"

Anyway, I chucked them outside. One was about 3" across, the other 3.5". And I ain't talking flattened out, that's just how big they are with their legs in a standard posture.

I'm afraid of spiders too, just less so than Jilli.

I have a modest proposal (no, there will be no baby-eating -- except maybe the toes....) -- how would people feel about the idea of making Bitches a Hurricane-Free Zone?

By that, I just mean this: it's totally normal for people to be talking about the hurricane and its aftermath; this is a disaster of staggering proportions, and I don't say that lightly. That said, the news reports are upsetting me so much (as well they should), every time someone posts a snippet of an article about death and mayhem, I just want to BEG for a bullshit consensus to make one thread (*any* thread; I don't care which, but I need to know which one to go to) a hurricane-free zone.

I'm not saying people shouldn't talk about it, but I was wondering if it might be possible to bullshit consense on making Bitches a respite from the hurricane discussion?

PLEASE don't think I'm trying to steamroll the thread/board, because if people think it's a bad idea, that's fine. I won't throw a fit.

It's just an idea, to create an oasis of calm.

I was just coming to suggest the same thing, Steph. I consense.

My bullshit consenses with Steph's. I have been talking about it, but there are times when I need to read/talk about anything but.

there are times when I need to read/talk about anything but

Cindy stated my thoughts for me.

I consense with Steph, yes indeed.

I had the same thought a moment ago reading Natter. Works for me.
