Kat, Nicolae.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

[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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
WOO!
My friend had her baby this morning! I'm so freaking excited, even though I won't get to see them until tomorrow.
I'll have to bring them chocolate. She brought us chocolate, and it's the in-hospital gift I remember most fondly.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Whoooo hoo for the good news, Plei.
Am off to shower, pack and pick up DebetEsse. Then off to Joshua Tree for us.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
ita, people try to tell you Jamaica is NOT a third world country?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The last two times I said it. "Isn't it more like...a second world country?"
Which is a plain daft thing to say. Especially to a Jamaican. Apparently we don't get enough famine press to count.

Now I have to ask, is there a "second world" qualification? What are the qualifiers? Obviously it goes beyond poverty and access to the internets. Is it GNP? National debt? I'm very curious.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Apparently we don't get enough famine press to count.
Jamaica needs a new PR firm. And some catchy new slogans.
Something like "The tourists eat all our food."
Or
"You know what else gives you the munchies? Famine."

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I think ita and typo boy have hit on the 2 problems in schools 1) time and 2) the importance of education
but I have a loooong list of things to do . and I should do some of them.... and I will think about saying something with coherence and depth later.

Now I have to ask, is there a "second world" qualification?
There is/was. And it's not a gradation. First world means what you'd think, third world is developing countries, and second world was the communist countries. However, it has seemed clear that every time someone was suggesting Jamaica was second world what they meant was "Well, poorer than us, but not that bad, really."
I think these days it's developed country, developing country, and there's a whole semantic tangle involved with "underdeveloped" or "least developed" or whatever.
