No. And yes. It's always sudden.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ooh, guess what? A cupcake bakery just opened down the block from me. This could get ugly.

Heh. Which is worse? Living within a block of really good pizza, or a cupcake bakery?

I think the pizza is worse, as it's open very late.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Trudy, a friend of mine has this method for dealing with mice: Turn an empty waste basket on its side, place a paper towel with a bit of peanut butter inside it, near the what used to be its bottom. You sit next to it quietly, patiently, for (what she swears is less than half an hour) the mouse to smell the wonderful delicious OMG!peanut butter and come looking for it. The mouse crawls into the waste basket, and you turn it right-side-up. You can then transport the mouse wherever you like.

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

That sounds easier than the humana trap which is impossible to open and release the little guy.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Sure, Andi, but you left out the step where the dog sticks her head in, eats the peanut butter, and drags the can into the other room to use as a chew toy. Not that that happened to me.

Hey. New board.

WindSparrow's adventures in pizza reminded me that I made my own macaroni and cheese tonight. It was good. I may never do packaged again.

move out and draw fire

Gronk. Also ugh.

The baby was up all night. Every time the neighbors opened or closed their door, he woke up and started crying. They left for dinner at 10, got back at midnight, went out again at 12:45, came back at 3:30, and someone left at 6:30 am. Ugh.

As a result, when he woke up for real, I couldn't really wake up. My brain did, but my body didn't, leading to one of those times where I think I'm awake but can't move.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Raq, I hate days like that. We had one the other night, and by the time she woke up, I was in that same state where I just couldn't wake up enough to move.

Mostly lurking...

{{{Raq}}} I hope you can get a nap today. Poor thing!
