God, did that sound extremely mother-ish?!?
Obviously I'm not wording things well today. If you really want to know, sj, I'd be happy to tell you. Or feel free to call me at work if you want to talk to someone.
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

[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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
AAA just left with my car. The guy thinks it is the fuel pump. Does anyone have any idea what that is going to cost me?
Ick. If it's just the pump (and Mike's an honest sort) then it's somewhere between $100 and $350 for the part. I forget the make and model of your car, but I'd bet off the top of my head that it'll come in at $250 or so, after labor.

Not at all.

Mike seems like a nice guy; he's supposed to call me back soon, so hopefully he will have good news. It's a 98 Accord, fwiw.

If it's not something that frequently goes bad in Accords, you might be able to find one in a junkyard somewhere. But that might just be from my acquaintance with semi-pro mechanics who feel it's an admission of inadequacy to go to a professional shop.

The status is NOT quo.
Much ~ma to GF's dad and much strength to both of you, GC.

Baby's asleep. She looks like a little doll all bundled up.
I'm gonna have to rouse her though since I'm making an outing to the laundromat.
It's nice to have a stroller again and Indian Summer days for talking Matilda out on walks.

Have skipped in a most egregious way, but I'm in library somewhere near Boston. Am not dead. No internet in the house though, which is close enough.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
GC, I hope everything is majorly minor for your GF's father.
I just dropped you a line, and reading about your metadata class reminded me--I like what you did for that assignment, and what stands out most is switching the volume so that the text for humans was shorter and punchier, and the text for full text systems was very thorough. Much better way round.
Brenda, that does suck. The closer you get, the bigger the sting.
Good thoughts to all who need them, and some extra for all who want them.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
GC, I hope everything is majorly minor for your GF's father.Yes, this.
