Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen  

[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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Ok, I just talked to the hiring guru woman at the first place I interviewed with. On Friday, she'd told me to give her until Tuesday to figure out a training schedule for me. Today she is saying that tomorrow there will be a meeting in the office for all the managers, and she will have them all there at the same time to ask them about what hours they might have open for me, so she will call me back tomorrow afternoon. I'm a little frustrated, but I do not see this as a bad sign.

How significant is the risk of buying one of the latter by waist size alone and ending up with something that doesn't fit in another dimension?

That's not too big of a risk, because the latter one won't come as far up your ribcage. The only measurement that might be a problem is the length: I can't buy pre-made cinchers or underbust corsets (like that one) because I'm so short-waisted.

move out and draw fire

You guys actually get the booginator to work? I can't hold Mal and employ it. I mean, I used to have to use it on my mother, but she was less wriggly.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

It takes two of us, sometimes. But yeah, we get it to work. I've also started using it the bathtub when she has a full nose. She's a little more accepting of it.

Will this dress take a crinoline? Or is it better without?

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?

Is the wrap just around the bodice? Or does it continue through the skirt?

I can't tell. Do what I always do: be a pest and e-mail the seller to ask for the hem circumference measurement. Anything less than 100" means no crinolines.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

my cat did the " I have no idea that there is a sheet on top of me" act . Followed by the "how dare you just open my door and walk in without knocking" when I lifted the sheet to peek at him. Now he just looks pleased with himself for being on top of the clean sheets.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Man, that sucks about the car, Cindy. I'm askeered mine will break down while I'm unemployed. How old are your children and how feasible is it for them to bike to various places? I biked to soccer practice and high school and other things. This was in a LA suburb that didn't have good city planning for bikes so it's possible. OTOH, I've heard that Boston drivers are the epitome of crazy. A number of bike coalitions offer workshops on safe cycling techniques. You might want to check the Massachusetts Bike Coalition. [link]
