Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[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.

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

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Oh goody! You all are going to Ypsilanti tonight. You'll be staying at my grandparents house and deal with my wreck of a mother, stoic to the point of creepy grandmother, and dying grandfather. Thank you for enabling my denial. If *I* don't go to Michigan, he'll get better.
Have fun!!

"My drink preference does not indicate my sexual preference. "
Someone's cell phone just went off in here. It played "Tusk." Being a library, everyone turned and glared silently. The librarian, whom you would expect to say, "Shush!" Instead replied, "Oh for the love of... This is a library. Please turn off all cell phones. In the case your phone does go off, please set the ring to a song that doesn't degrade humanity."

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
I think we should all go to Ypsilanti. We'd confuse the hell out of everyone. It could be fun. And I'd get to escape the work sitting here staring me in the face.

move out and draw fire
My step-mother recently mailed a box to me containing all the research clippings and notes my dad had collected for a book. I wish she hadn't, as the way things get lost in the APO...but that's not the point. The point involves camels.
I have learned that there were camels in New Mexico at the turn of the (last) century. Apparently the Army imported a bunch of them, and a camel trainer, from Egypt, and set about using them instead of horses between Texas and California. This is mid-1800s. They were brilliant, but the Civil War happened and the project was cancelled, and the camels were released into the wild.
What really pinged my imagination was the Egyptian camel trainer, who left his home, came to the Territories, and never returned.

Almare, I have deep, textually-based love for your librarian.
ETA: I'm sorry your family's going through such a rough period, Aimée. I'm sure that having you there will be very helpful, even for stoic folks who might not seem to need help.
