Be vewwy, vewwy quiet, we're hunting peace of mind.
Mal: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne? Jayne: Money wasn't good enough. Mal: What happens when it is? Jayne: Well... that'll be an interesting day.

[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.

Remind me, please, that it's better to sell heavy expensive textbooks I'm never going to use again than to take them across the country with me, even if I'm selling them for the cost of a bag of potato chips. Because it feels deeply, deeply wrong.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It really is much better, Emily.

Sell them, Emily. Not only will you (a) have to pay to ship them and (b) not use them again, but (c) some poor student will be happy to have them for a pittance.
Jilli, that's the best mallet I ever did see.
Also, that all-star game rocked.

but compare that to the 5 dollars the other way it would take you to send/bring it out here.

Conversation with JZ before bedtime:
Me: Goodnight, babymaker! I think your breasts are getting smaller.
Her: They are. But they're rock hard.
::pokes breast to demonstrate. kisses me::
Goodnight babystarter. Heh. You're like the yeast starter for sourdough.
My contribution to this child has been compared to fungus. This is my role.

Yes. Of course. You're right. I know you're right, it's just... I paid painful amounts of money for these books originally, and now... poof!
It's because they keep releasing new editions, of course. In cases where they don't, I'm getting decent prices. But five-year-old textbooks might as well be kindling, most of the time.
