Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

[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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm sorry, Aimee. It sure sounds like you're doing everything right and will be out of that hole soon, if that's any consolation.

I amm irresponsibly not looking at my finances. At all. As long as I can pay bills as they come due and make payments on the credit cards, I'm pretending everything is rosy. I honestly have no idea how our income compares to our expenses for the first time in ages, because I'm afraid of what I'd find.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

If that works, can I borrow your foot?

If not, the Midwest is apparently getting pounded with a foot of snow. Maybe that would be available.

Pfft. I got Nigerian princess spam. I think Aimee deserves royalty.

Ah, head-in-the-sand financial planning. I'm also on that plan.

The status is NOT quo.

Oh! I forgot to say: Hec, I'm so sorry about the job, and BT, YAY on Wallybee love!!

It's good for the soul, but the interest rates are killer.

BT made me grin -- I really hope you two can make it to the F2F.

I'm afraid I won't be there. I'm visiting around August/September, though. I do still need to work out how my current circumstances affect that.

Ooh, all of us, or just the Left Coasties?

I want to get to DragonCon, in Atlanta, and I'm going to Chicago as well. I want to visit either NYC or Boston (for the novelty value); but I've just recently found a limiting factor, i.e. Wallybee may not be able to get a visa, and I don't want to be away from her that long (nor does she, I think). I may have to think carefully about this.

Go Boston! Choose Boston!

Though not over Wallybee. We know from priorities.

Aaaand I'm off for bed. Good night, all.

If you want, I can ask my FiL if he has any advice for her (he's been a consular officer for nearly 30 years, and Asia is his niche territory).
