So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

ALL of them get to have opinions. None of them get to go over my head and prevent me from doing it. Fuck that noise.

Exactly. Your body=your decision.

My library makes it incrediably easy to renew books. You can do it online. You can do it on the phone. You can have the book for six weeks. I still get fines.

It does apparently pay to complain. I just complained to Earthlink that the DSL price on the website was $5 less than I was paying, and they dropped my monthly bill $10 and gave me a free month.

If I only had a brain...

Yes, this. You're a grown woman.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

None of them get to go over my head and prevent me from doing it. Fuck that noise.

Of course. I was just curious about your doctor's take and why that isn't enough for the PT.

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

ALL of them get to have opinions. None of them get to go over my head and prevent me from doing it. Fuck that noise.

Damn skippy.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Just got back from high school. YIKES. I spent an hour in one of K-Bugs classes and I think I'm scared for life now. HOW did I make it through high school as a teen???

I was there as a speaker for K-Bug's presentation on Histiocytosis. I got to talk about her being diagnosed and treated. She said I was "funny" cause she could tell I was nervous. I just didn't want to embarass her. If I'd wanted to do that, I coulda brought pictures. evil mom

Argh. Winds slowing down launch time of Pluto probe.

ETA: looks like a go in 20 minutes. Maybe.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Unless I'm mistaken, ita doesn't have a century-long history of periodically turning into a parapalegic, with known cues that allow scientists to roughly predict when the next wave is going to be.
Jessica is right. But the adhering to the facts sort of messed up the point I was kind of going for. It's the "Yellow Substance!" on page one and then "Oops, curry." on page 57 a week later thing.
Also, the instructors already know I'm injured. None of them want me truly broken. I've explicitly said that I need to start taking the test. I'd like to finish it, but stuff happens. I'd like to pass it too, but we'll see how it goes.
Seems a good attitude to me.
(Not trying to imply it's the same, since with the library there's less inconvenience in late returns than for daycare personnel working late. Just that it reminded me of a nifty story.)
That is a nifty story.

When the nephlet was a wee one and living with me, I loathed picking him up late. There was a fine, yes. But there was also a sense of humiliation since he was at a private daycare and I knew that if I was late leaving work and picking him up, she was prevented from getting on with her life.

I think if it had been a more "business-y" place, I would have just seen the fine as the price for being late and not as a guilt thing.

Same way that I feel guilty if I have a book that I know others will want in a timely fashion. If it's obscure, I just smile and pay my fine when I go back.

My guilt is bendy.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Timelies!

Just popping up to say a friend got tickets to a free preview of "Tristan and Isolde" and took me with her.

I haven't laughed that hard for AGES!

Crud, they scrubbed the launch for today. Winds are too high.
