[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.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

GC, that haircut is gorgeous! You look phenomenal.

Congratulations to the Family Flea on the new flea-let, and Nutty on being an aunt times two!

Ahh, sisters. We were violent. I tried to pull her toes off on the car ride back from the hospital after she was born. It just got worse from there. Phone books and boxes of frozen baked ziti were often involved. Now? She's my best friend, and anyone that messes with her might as well consider themselves dead.

You could really hurt someone with one of those.

Oh, I did. She still has the dent in the top of her head from my assault. It's funny as hell and family legend now, but I got in all kinds of trouble at the time.

You could never get on my bad side, sj.

Lest all of you think the violence was one-sided, L did give as good as she got. Her teeth and nails were deadly.

I'm glad we outgrew that phase rather quickly.

Maria, how is the restaurant doing? I seem to remember you were worried about flooding last time I saw you post something.

Thanks for asking, sj. Luckily, the projected 26 feet didn't come to pass. At 19 1/2 feet, we still had a flooded basement, but it didn't come anywhere near the main level. After the water receded, the fire department was kind enough to drop by and hose the flooded areas out. It was the quickest clean-up ever. The only thing left to do was wait for it to dry.

Things were much worse for folks to the north.

I'm glad it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I am going to try to get some of that ever so elusive sleep. Night, Bitches!

Thanks for the suggestions, Sail. I think you're right about the bangs. I love the look of straight bangs with short hair, but I don't think I can probably get my hair to do that. Sigh.
