We had a bit of a wind and rainstorm last night, nothing that dramatic, but apparently it was enough to split our neighbor's lovely front yard shade tree in half. It's standing, but not looking especially stable. We've moved all our cars out of range, and now DH is out strategizing with Mr. Neighbor how to get the tree down without taking out power to our street.
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.
Is 10:00 on a friday too early to go to bed?
God I hope not, I went to bed at 9.
My sistah in sleepiness! Mmmm, clean sheets, my favorite.
I would so move heaven and earth trying to save my furniture, not to mention the books. I paid a pretty penny for trucking stuff in from Michigan, but by gum I still have my painted dresser.
Oh, yeah. Them. Like secession went over so very well the last time.
Oddly enough, Cindy, I too refer to our "Christian" president (complete with quotes), but for completely different reasons. Oy.

Well then I got into it when a person who called herself a Southerner went on about how the immigrants and the Yankees spoiled the South, and that the immigrants don't seem to speak English, and the Yankees all look down on anyone with a Southern accent. When I said, "That's bigotry" my comment was taken as agreement with the lumper, and I had to tell her, again, that I thought her statement was too bigoted to take seriously.
Somewhere along the line, she said something like "We were here first" (here=South), and I said, "No, that'd be the Native Americans."
Then I remembered I didn't actually *have* to talk to her at all.
As a sane Christian with Southern roots, I roll my eyes forever at those people.
~~@@~~
I am sure some Yankees do look down on Southerners for their accents and are rude, etc.--and vice versa. She couldn't see that she was doing what she hates other people doing to her, and that's when I was glad to remember I didn't have to talk to her.
Unfortunately, she is providing excellent justification to anyone that might do that. "Gone With The Wind" was fiction, babe.
She also told me she was absent the day 'they' taught diversity.
