Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

[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.

Because books.

Calling All Sewers!!!

Okay, I read that as the thing that treats and transports waste water, so it took me aback a bit...

Oh, Amy, that sounds just lovely. Gonna bask in that thought for a moment.

I'm selfishly wishing my Emily was here. (She's got "book club" tonight.) It's ok. She'll be home later, and I can torture her with my Tim McGraw tv special.

Hee! I did too.

ChiKat, I wish you were here. There's a great little shop in Somerville that offers beginnging sewing lessons. I have no ideas about books...my mom taught me when I was like six. There were no books involved.

I want a sewing machine so much, ChiKat, and I would love to learn to sew. The kids' Halloween costumes are always an agony of hand-sewing, hot glue, and safety pins, which is less than optimal.

ChiKat, ok, I know it's not a book, but I believe that a lot of crafts are better off learned hands-on.

This looks like a pretty cool place: [link]

And, if you want something even cheaper, the Chicago Park District offers lessons: [link]

Someone tell me that the pain I'm currently experiencing in my legs is from walking two miles today when I've barely been out of the house in two months, not the steroid myopathy coming back.

I'ma gonna take a painkiller anyway.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Yet another reason to love the hivemind!

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

vw - walking when you haven't will do that.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I do crafts already (crochet, some paper crafts, etc.), but I've really been wanting to learn to sew.

I think I'll look at the park district stuff. That may be good. Thanks, vw!
