[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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

And Puppycat is sacked out in front of the fireplace as well. Such the heat ho...

Bummer, GC. I wish I could wave a wand and make it 9 so you could go snuggle kitties and your GF right now.

Now tagless for your comfort.

My sisters have already started the "I'm not hosting any holidays at my house this year" battle. They'll go back in forth until the beginning of November and I'll have the stress of trying to decide if we're driving over to Indiana to deal with the crap, or instead, stay here and just have a dinner with the four of us.

Between that and sorting which December weekends we're splitting between families for Christmas, I'm tempted to just tell people we're going to call and leave it at that.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Hell, Cash - just come out here. So much more funner. We can go to DisneyLand!

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Question for the hivemind:

Let's say that someone came to visit you, you knock yourself out to get them tickets to museums, etc. They bought something at a store here that they wanted to return. You offer to return it. They send it to you, with a thank you note for helping them out in town and a gift certificate for a local store.

You try to return the gift, but it had to be returned within 14 days. You send them an email, explaining what happened and ask them what they want you to do. Their reply is (quote) "Thanks anyway. Send it back, and don't forget the thank you gift for you. Thanks again."

Does it sound like they want the thank you gift back or that he's just making sure that I knew that it was in the package?

He's just making sure you got it. He doesn't want it back.

Aimee, that would be great, except for the second mortgage we'd have to take out to get all four of us admitted to Disneyland. I'm hoping that SoCal is on the list soon for one of DH's annual meetings so we can get to LA eventually.

Vortex, I can't imagine someone asking for that back but that's what the wording sounds like to me. I'd totally ask Miss Manners or something because this situation sounds fraught with confusion. I'd honestly even be afraid of offending someone by asking if that's what they meant.

I like Aimee's advice better. Bad word choice but nobody would ask for a thank you gift back.
