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.

If you're willing to risk the small camera companies on EBay, you can have it for $600-700 with the 18-55.

The Rebel XT is better, though. They fixed the problems with the original digital Rebel. Problem is the body alone is $800; with the lens it's $900.

I love my Rebel XT, though. It's worth saving your money for.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Hm. Thanks, Dylan. I'll consider some more.

Our (only) phone has been breaking down (five years old and broke -- WTF?). So I went to Fry's this past weekend and bought a new cordless phone. $80! With 10,000 features WE DON'T NEED! Because that's ALL YOU CAN GET!

Anyway, this isn't the point of the post. Susan suggested I give Annabel the old phone. She's been walking around with it, holding it up to her ear, going "YAH-BLAH-BLA!"

Heh.

Awwww, cutie-pie Annabel! Perhaps, now she will have incentive to actually start using more words. ;)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hee. I just heard on the radio, Away In A Manger to the tune of Smooth Criminal. "The little lord Jesus, no sound he makes. Jesus are you ok? Are you ok? Are you ok, Jesus?"

"YAH-BLAH-BLA!"

That sounds like a perfectly cromulent phone conversation.

I have an old $10 slimline phone as a backup to the cordless. The low-tech phone will still work if the power goes out.

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

Perfectly normal.

the parents and parents' friends of a little baby punky gothlette have all ganged up on her to demand that she go from Punk Queen to Trendy Teen.

Oh, jeez, I saw that one. The stepdad (?) claimed that it ruined family gatherings because everyone would start fighting with her about it. I wanted to beat him. "So, really, the fact that you all are constantly picking on her ruins these gatherings. Stop doing that, and the problem is solved. Ass."

Wrod. Plus, give her time. She's still developing her personality, her style. The things they find the most objectionable may be things she decides to change herself. Who knows? I thank heavens every day I don't dress today the way I did at 17! Hee.
