Buffy ,'Lessons'
[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.
Hivemind -
I'm working on invites for a birthday party for my mom. I know we have discussed this stuff before, but what is a gracious way to say "no gifts please, unless you want to take her out to lunch or write a fun memory in your card". K-Bug proposed "no material gifts", which is closer, but still not there.
Wordsmiths - please help.
Your presence and memories of your relationship with Mom are the best gifts we could ask for.
??
The only gift you should bring is yourself.
If people call and ask you then you can suggest the other things.
Your presence is all the present required. Like Laura said, if they call, you can tell them that taking your mom out for the day would be a great gift. You could also include a pretty piece of paper in the invitation and ask that they write a memory on it that you will be collecting at the party for your mother. You could put them all in a photo album later.
Holy Hannah!
Florida county plans to vaporize landfill trash
FORT PIERCE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida county has grand plans to ditch its dump, generate electricity and help build roads — all by vaporizing garbage at temperatures hotter than the sun.
The $425 million facility expected to be built in St. Lucie County will use lightning-like plasma arcs to turn trash into gas and rock-like material. It will be the first such plant in the nation operating on such a massive scale and the largest in the world.
Whew. Andi and I were already brainstorming on the disaster movie...
...Maybe The Doctor (Who) would be involved...
Still? Cool beans.
Great ideas! I have marked them for when K-Bug and I put this together.
I don't think I've actively taught anyone anything. Except maybe what an eyefuck is.
That's so cool Daniel. I just read it to the boys (mine and a couple more spending the night) and they love it. They did seem concerned that St. Lucie (just north of us) would keep the cool rocks and blow the stinky gas in our direction.
I teach most every day, but I teach doctors and staff how to use their software, so not so much the same thing. I don't get to give them tests, but I do mock them and give them homework.
Hey, Hec -- are you home and phone-call-able right now?
I'm sorry Tep. I had just left the house about then and just returned about ten minutes ago.
If it's still useful to you, call me in the morning. But don't call me up and wake me up because only crazy people do that!
