'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
[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.
Really? Doesn't leave you disco-ball shiny? Good to know.
It's not shiny at all. Demi-matte, I'd say. Plus, it's very finely milled, so it applied easily and covered fairly well, despite the fact that I was using a cotton ball to apply it. (Flocked sponges on order, and my usual mineral makeup sponge needs cleaning, so I made do.)
Or you go could go with her birth month flower.
Aww! I love gladiolies and poppies!

Oooh -- she's daisies! I was thinking about sending her a huge bouquet of riotously colored gerbera daisies!
Oh dear. I think I'm about to get in an eBay sniping war. I'm refreshing an auction page and trying to decide when I want to put my (next) bid in. I was outbid on a dress I REALLY want, and I'm petty enough to do the snipe thing.

There's nothing at all petty about sniping. It's just strategy.
link us so we can watch the sniping!

I'm in love with Teppy. That would be bright! Cheery! and Perfect!
We don't leave sleeping toddlers in cars on city streets, right?
I'm home sick again today. I take the poor whining dog out for an empty. I'm cleaning up after her next to a car and a woman walks up to it. I tell her I'll wait until she pulls out. She says she's not leaving yet and walks away.
There is a little girl asleep in the car!
I was STUNNED. This is fucking New York City. There is a meth head panhandling fifty feet away. I look around for the woman, nothing. I hang out on the block figuring she'll be back any second, trying to think what the hell to do (I'm on cold medicine here). Was it accidental? Does she not know the kid is in the back? If I call the cops does this little girl end up in freakin foster care? I have no idea what to do.
15-20 minutes later the woman returns with a man (presumably her husband) "M'am, you left your baby inthe car" "Oh, she never wakes up, its fine. I was just over there" "I looked fo you, I didn't see you, you must have been gone twenty minutes" "Its none of your business" "You just LEFT HER" "she never wakes up" "what if someone TOOK HER?" "Do you have children? No? Well this is none of your business" "You can't DO that" "This is none of your busnies, what are you going to do?" "I have your plate, I'm calling the cops"
I walk to the payphone. She walks away. He gets in the car in no huge rush to leave but once the police FINALLY show up he has.
"Well, she came back, right? Sure, you or I might not have done that" "She LEFT the THREE YEAR OLD alone for twenty minutes" "well, there is nothing we can do about it, they're gone" "You have the plate. At least find out if there is a report on the family or something" "we don't know if that was their car" Clearly I'm annoying the police here. So sorry to be a trouble. "You're not going to chekc up on this?" "There's not really anything we can do. We're not children's services" "Could you CALL Children's Servies? Should *I* call Children's Services?" "Sure, you could do that, but we can't really do anything."
I call information to get the number. Info gives me a general city number. The general city number gives me a ACS number. It gives me ANOTHER ACS number. I finally get a person. She is suitably appalled. She's going to run the plate and look into it. I tell her I didn't write it down but its deffinately right on the 911 tape, I think it's __ __ ___"
ACS woman says the police don't always do this well. I ask if she can talk to the precinct about this "oh, we have our own link to DMV, its ok". (in other words, we don't bother) I feel sick.
