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.

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

The world's most comfortable futon is all repaired even.

Well, hooray for futons!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Blood, sweat, tears and the most amazing hardware store all contributed. More tears than I would like to admit actually. But it was worth it because now I can have guests. And, well, the super comfy futon.

Next question in assembling my nefarious plan: how hard is it to get to San Jose airport from SF? Flights to Portland are cheaper from San Jose.

Ask me next week. I am flying into San Jose for the F2F. All reports are that it isn't difficult with public transportation though.

Mostly lurking...

Ugh. Nora, I hope things are looking better this morning.

I am currently writing a "response" e-mail to my parents about the negotiation phase we're in. I'm afraid this isn't going to be pretty.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Billytea, it is fairly easy. Caltrain runs between the two cities, and there is a free shuttle that runs between the Santa Clara Caltrain station and the San Jose airport. From the Caltrain FAQ, [link]

10. At what Caltrain station can I connect to San Jose Airport?
VTA SJC Airport Flyer (Route 10) takes you between the Santa Clara Caltrain Station and the San Jose International Airport. The Airport Flyer is free and operates seven-days-a week from 5:30 a.m. until midnight. Buses operate every 10 minutes on weekdays and every 15 minutes on weekends.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Headline:

Gas Clouds Shoot Down Indonesia Volcano

My first thought: "It was flying?"

Then I pictured a gas cloud firing missiles at the volcano.

Clearly I need more sleep, not four more days of work after the last five in a row.

What is even happening?

Nora, since there are only the two units in your building, I don't know how the building is owned. Do you and the other owners have full ownership and/or do all the management yourselves, or is there an owner of the building, too? If there is some sort of other owner (of the building) or a management company, I think you'll want to get them involved.

Regardless, if your flooding is because of the water table, I really think you're going to need a sump pump. You can get one at Home Depot or Lowe's, and they can probably explain how to hook it up, and what to do.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oh, and Cincy.

Woot!!!

I'm not missing it this time. It would take the ebola virus for me to miss this.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

we called the plumber and they got here lightning fast with a sump pump and the installation skillz to boot.

We share overall responsibility with our condo neighbors. Our cellar appears to be the lowest point, so we have most of the water. We're gonna buy the pump (just us), but we'll send the plumbers their way after the install. I think that once our cellar is cleared, their water will flow in anyway.
