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'm glad your boss is being so reasonable, vw!
I don't know how legal landlords discriminating against students is, but I know it happens in Chapel Hill. Well, the ones who do so don't officially discriminate against students, they have an age limit. So if you're a student who's over, say, 25, they'll rent to you. I guess if car rental agencies can do it, so can landlords.
Which, if you're a responsible person under 25 who is pursuing an education and wants a non-dorm roof over your head, is pretty unfair.
I think underwear can be shown well, and it can be shown badly. First off, it needs to be nice underwear. That's mandatory.
Yes, absolutely, and it needs to coordinate well with the outfit.
I'm 25. My roommate is 27, I think. Didn't help our case. But I'm thinking we don't want to rent from this woman anyway.
I'm 25.
When did that happen!? Next think you'll tell us that Holli is in College.
Whee! I've finally made it up to this year playing catchup. Gonna go work through some more (I keep thinking I should just skip and skim, but invariably one of the Buffista Sprog will do something adorable and/or hilarious [I'm looking at you, Kara!], and I figure I can't risk missing anything).
See ya all in a bit.

But I'm thinking we don't want to rent from this woman anyway.
Doesn't sound like it. Even the "no housefuls of frat boys" types usually get the difference between that and late-20s grad students, if they're at all inclined to be reasonable.
I'm 25. My roommate is 27, I think. Didn't help our case.
What you do have in common with most other students, though, is that you're not likely to stay too long. Or at least, I think that would be a more reasonable assumption than that two mid-twenties grad students are going to kick holes in the wall and leave beer cans on the lawn. That might be figuring into her resistance.
But I'm thinking we don't want to rent from this woman anyway.
But I don't think you're wrong there.

Dammit, he's hip to our game!

I used to date a guy with a foot fetish. It really wasn't bad or even all that weird.
Oh yeah, ChiKat, there would be some nice upsides to it. I'm a sucker for a good foot massage. No idea if he does pedicures, but whoa that would be bonus too. But I don't dig him. Oh well.
He used to give great foot rubs and would pay for my pedicures. Again, there are definite up sides.
Sigh...
He told me I'd always have a job there and to stop worrying about that.
The bug that can and DOES! (pardon the asscaps, got all happy for you having a good boss that we don't need to thwap, vw.)

I'm earwormed with Southern
Cross Brit now. Grrrrrr.
patiently waiting to hear how the interviews went
Would it be bad if I took an over the counter sleep medicine. I've never used them before but I really need help sleeping.
I'm a little late on this one, askye, but if you're not averse to alternative or natural remedies, I've had really good luck with melatonin and with Calms Forte. The latter is probably only at health food stores, but you can usually find melatonin with the vitamins at pharmacies or supermarkets. Whether or not this works for you, much sleep ~ma!
Also, interview ~ma to Calli and juliana.
Also, we just got brand new, very shiny trash cans at work. Unfortunately, the old ones matched the building better and were just fine, so it seems like a waste of money. I'd go to surplus to get one of the perfectly nice old ones to send you, juliana, but I think shipping would cost much more than the can is worth.
