Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!  

[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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm guessing that the super-expensive ones are less brick-like than the Macy's brand knockoffs, but I just don't have that kind of money. Ah well. Back to hypoallergenic ecoDown it is.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

I like the new hybrid beds. They've got springs and memory foam, so they feel like real beds stuffed with cloud.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

I love mine. I'm Tempur Pedic's bitch, though.

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

I've slept on one of those Swedish Memory Foam Approved by NASA beds for several days, and it was one of the most uncomfortable, unpleasant sleeping experiences of my life.

See, I can take them or leave them, but the devotion to them shown by people like, oh, my parents, is practically cultish.

::clings to notion of getting a queen bed next month::

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Can I have a Kara-pony name? Pretty please?

Coding and Sleeping

We did a new minivan configuration for last weekend's trip. Middle seats removed and rear seat slid forward a bit. It was sort of like having a little living room behind the front seats, which is where the dog hung out.

I try not to be cultish, but I have pillow and eye mask, convinced almost ex to buy the mattress, bought him a pillow, and his parents bought themselves pillows. So I guess I am cultish. I was recently given a double-sized mattress for free, which makes me happy. Would be happier if it were a queen, but my space can't get a queen up the stairs. I've been sleeping on futons, and it's nice to have a real bed again.

I was supposed to have a whole lot of work today, and everyone but the very first and very last bailed on me. Since I'm not exactly Miss Happy Camper today, I bailed on the last one. Would have been 5.5 hours of sitting around waiting for him, and, no. Instead I've got a kitty on my chest and am trying to distract myself here. Of course I should be cleaning, but fie on that, at least for the moment.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Good on you for bailing and taking care of yourself. Kitties are awfully good for hurty hearts.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

We got a 2005, but it's new, so Saturn had about $5K in rebates to get it off the lot. Their sales tactics are so much more pleasant than the other dealers that it may have been worth the money

Wait til you have to deal with the service center. They are really good about explaining things. Honestly, they are the reason we own a third Saturn. We really like thier cars, but the garages are just really good. ( we had some major stupidity with the finace people - but we gave it to the customer service people and never spoke to the finace people again)

All is well that ends in pizza.

Daniel, I really think you should protest your firing, in writing, with your former employer, too.

I'll consider this. I'm sure a copy of my statement will be forwarded to my employer, as part of the inquiry to determine my eligibility for unemployment. Benefits do not come to those who are adjudged to be fired "for cause."

If it gets approved, I'll be getting a grand total of $212/week gross wages before taxes. Not even enough for my mortgage.

Whee.
