It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!  

[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.

Raq, checking confirms that my bookmarked links are almost exclusively Regency, but you might see what you can find here: [link]

And here are two naval history links that might give you something: [link]

The latter is mostly about the ships, but maybe if you follow the links you'll find some uniforms.

Sorry I can't be of more help. So far I haven't written anything Victorian, so I haven't collected info on the era.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

After a few weeks he started testing how much alcohol he could get away with drinking without getting violently ill. That was fun.
My brother did the same. My sister's theory that he can't even use mouthwash is more than a little bit rose-colored.

Christ on a poptart, I just hope he doesn't try *today.* My SiL isn't the type to have sporks on hand though potentially she will have a corkscrew which would be plenty painful and poetic to kill the diabetic alcoholic with barware.

I'm trying to vent my rage and frustration now so that I can be zen calm once I am there.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

If it were candy barware that would be EVEN BETTER.

I figure if you are going to premeditate a killing, might as well give it some flair.

I need to shower and get ready. When I was talking to my sister this morning she asked what I got the neicelet. "I don't know yet."

I'm getting the pig!

The first day, maybe. After that though, all bets are off. Much ~ma to your sister. For your nephew's sake.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Cass - vent, baby, vent. I am guessing you have to be the sane one ...

Then please, please, please let this be the first day. I foresee some Googling of Antabuse later. I know very little about it.

Really off to get ready now.

Terrifyingly, yes.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Strength and good fortune to you and your family, Cass.

And to yours, Cashmere!
