[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.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

What could possibly be so good that I'd forego all the rich butterfat and tasty animal bits my city has to offer?

While I know the answer is supposed to be "JenK!", I'm really hoping it's actually "My non-animal-eating wife who is CARRYING MY CHILD IN HER UTERUS."

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

WTF is up with your landlords breathing down your necks while you moved, vw? GOD. What possible justification could they have for that?

It was crazy. At one point she came up the stairs while everyone else was at the curb and said, "Lots of stuff still here". I told her it would all get done in a rude voice and she went back downstairs.

Oh, but teacup guy has endeared himself to me forever. For lots of reasons, actually. But, the main reason is, when we first got to the apartment yesterday afternoon, Mr. Landlord was putting up a new light fixture in the living room (WE never had a light fixture in the living room, but whatever). I had to run a few errands, so I left sj and teacup guy at the apartment. Before I left, TG pulled me aside and said, “Who is this man, and what is his business here?” I love him.

I just passed this message onto Teacup Guy, who said it was obvious that he wasn't supposed to be there at that time and he just wanted to know what he should do about it.

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

Hey, David! I've been remarkably restrained in my gloating this season, but who has the best record in baseball this morning?

It can't be the Yankees. September wouldn't do that to me.

I'm going with Teppy's guess.

I'm really hoping it's actually "My non-animal-eating wife who is CARRYING MY CHILD IN HER UTERUS."

Well, she eats the butterfat.

Well, she eats the butterfat.

But not the fleshy animal bits.

Mostly lurking...

I just passed this message onto Teacup Guy, who said it was obvious that he wasn't supposed to be there at that time and he just wanted to know what he should do about it.

I just loved that he had my back, even though he doesn't know me very well. Everyone last night did. It's great to have such supportive friends.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Could anyone who has Parker's phone number e-me please?

We had you're back because your a lovely, wonderful person and you deserve it. As for Teacup Guy, the fact that you're my friend was enough for him, and also he has a special dislike of shady business people.

ETA: Good luck with the lawyer and make them pay!

Tea, tea would be good about now.

Jen K is in the bay area? Gah, already? Did I miss an opportunity to meet her?

I hate my life. I can't remember things for crap anymore.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Hi everyone. I just skipped a gajillion posts. ~ma to anyone and everyone. Did I miss anything important?

I've spent this morning alternating between doing financial research and doing laundry. Laundry is boring, and financial research is confusing. I think I'm starting to get the hang of the financial stuff (Roth IRA is good. Putting all your money in tech stocks is bad) though the laundry continues to be boring. Possibly I have too many clothes.

Hmm. Donate the unwanted clothes, take tax deduction, invest money. I've had worse plans.
