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.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I love not having a car here, but when I'm at my parents' (in Maryland), I can't imagine not having one.
I hated driving in Chicago when I lived in Evanston. The worst part of the drive to Canada was the first couple of hours getting out of the city and around the lake into Michigan -- just a miserable stretch of road.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I thought your DH wanted something like this:
HA! He does love the power wagon--I think it's like a little boy fantasy or something. But I think if I told him I'd live in London, he'd chose London over the Dodge any day.

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

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

This -- it's so very location-dependent. I'm thoroughly sick of the whole car thing, but there's just no way to do it; we're looking at a month of being down to one car, and even that's barely manageable here.

Absolutely, totally location dependent. I am lucky we have a choice in our car driving ways.
I would also think that having kids would change the equation as well.

Compassionately intolerant
I'm so lame with planning when it comes to driving. Friends will leave me their cars for weeks at a time and I think WHEE! I'll go everywhere.
What do I do? I take Bartleby to the cemetery (dog park) and maybe schlep to northern VA to the grocery. It's embarrassing. I love my neighborhood so much...and have gotten so lazy, I guess, that making efficient use of a car just doesn't register with me anymore.
And when I think of the traffic I could be avoiding in the relative comfort and safety of the Metro? Nah...
I would like to make better use of the bus system. For some reason, I have this paranoid fear of missing my stop...but now Metrobus has these cool recordings the tell you the next stop before you even get there! I'd hate to be the poor driver having to listen to that all day, but it works wonders for me.

"My drink preference does not indicate my sexual preference. "
The weirdest thing about Bogota, is that it has the best/worst public trans I've ever seen. There's nearly always a bus every 5 minutes or so, there are a thousand ways to get to the metro, and the taxi service is hideously cheap. The worst part is, the busses are overcrowded, the metro is filled with pushy people, and the streets have horrific potholes from rock slides. The first time driving in a taxi with a non-native driver, you'd swear thatthe contraption has no shocks. Then you ride with a non-shock non-native taxi, and you end up breaking something. It's very surreal.

All is well that ends in pizza.
The Alien Nation DVD set coming out on January 3rd has a suggested pairing with Serenity on amazon.com...

Sounds just like New York. Except for the rock slides.
