Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.  

[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.

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

But yeah, they took a chunk of skin the size of a shirt button.

How very Gnarl.

I'm going to take a stand and insist that the universe step off Raq's cooter. For lo, Raq is a sexy bitch and it is limiting to have her bits in distress.

Back from our follow-up doctor appointment. Bedrest for three weeks at least and then we'll reevaluate. Follow-up sonogram tomorrow. (Why they didn't do it today when we already had to go in for an appointmet is one of the many annoyances.)

JZ may only stray from the couch and bed for limited periods so if you see her (a) talking about crazy letters on Salon (or mean people on DailyKos) or (b) posting here for more than an hour, chase her back to the couch.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Dude, move the computer next to the couch for your lovely wife! Three weeks!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

(Hec, I'm sure you know this, being an HR-guru of sorts, but don't forget that this time off does NOT count against her 12 weeks leave AFTER the baby is born. I like to remind every one in California of the California preganacy disability thing as being seperate from the FMLA and the CMLA, simply because my old employer tried to fuck over my old co-worker by telling her that the 4 weeks she was on bedrest shortened her maternity leave by 4 weeks. So, as I say, I'm sure you know this, but I feel a responsibility to make sure people know.)

You may return to your regular bitching. We apologize for the noseus buttingcus inacus.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Three weeks? Criminy!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Dude, move the computer next to the couch for your lovely wife! Three weeks!

Oh, my, yes. Please to ask her if she wants me to bring over scripts, books, handheld Soduku games, whatever. Also? It may be time for a laptop....

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Poor JZ. Three weeks is a long time.

She can get up and check the computer, she just can't sit at it all day. She's got TiVo, DVD box sets galore, a bookshelf of To Be Read books and a cell phone. She's not going to die of boredom. Restlessness, maybe.

Always Anti-fascist!

Now, you know I'm a heathen, but even so, most of those letters are completely crack-addled, and I think, typed by monkeys. But we could make a reciprocal agreement regarding me and Heather the TV columnist...I don't know why I ever read her...I don't think she's funny. Or right very often. And yet... Oh, and look, JZ, David Simon sits on your bench. Which I thought was kind of surprising, considering.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I had a weekend of that and it drove me craxy. Chock full of restlessness with just a leetle bit of boredom.

And the more bored and restless she gets, the more tempting the computer across the room will become. Or at least, it would for me and all other sane mortals who don't enjoy freaky willpower tests.
