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.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

That, I have...it's a fangirl thing.

Hee. It's the only thing I have. I'm afraid to go for the leather pants, I have a hard enough time finding regular pants to fit my shape.

Nora, I hope the weather calms down soon enough that the basement starts draining before any serious damage is done. Is it possible there's a broken water line under the basement?

Is it possible there's a broken water line under the basement?

Anything is possible. We're both (me & Tom AND our condo neighbors) first time homeowners who don't know a fucking thing about anything.

I don't want to go to bed. Hearing the rain come down makes me want to vomit. I won't be able to sleep. I'll probably be back on here by 2am, at the latest.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Erika, the blonde is very striking indeed. Looking forward to seeing it (and you) in person.

I forgot! Erika, your hair is AWESOME! It's really beautiful and striking.

Always Anti-fascist!

Funny, because I've been embarrassed by my blonde hair my entire life...I never thought I'd want to be blonder. (a lot of jokes at a very awkward stage, plus an inborn suspicion of anything else that gets little old ladies talking to me on the street.)

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

erika, that's definitely a glamour blonde. Excellent choice.

Nora, you should flip through the Yellow Pages and see if you can find somebody with a pump that'll come up and pump it to the nearest storm drain.

I'm getting the pig!

Gah. That sucks, Nora, and I wish I had some advice or something helpful to say. Did you already mention here if you have flood insurance or not? Which doesn't help now but it will later. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this.

My dinner date was canceled. I'm assuming this since I can't get in touch with the person I was going to have dinner with. Hoping she's ok.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Nora, you can have a sump pump put in for not much money. Our basement when we lived in Cambridge leaked like a sieve (our forst rainstorm there netted us four inches of water, including a huge pool right under the fuse box) , and the sump really made a huge difference.

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

Or, Nora, you could run down to Home Depot and buy your own pump and let your co-owner pay half.
