Works for me. Btw, thanks for being a good sport, ND, given that I pretty much ended up arranging an event at your house.
I was only asking Sean if he thought he could make it. Honest.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

[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.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
K-Bug is reading over my shoulder and just asked how Jilli and Pete met. So.....tell us your story.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Well, how about Joe and Sean and I get together in the early afternoon, say 1ish, we can play a few rounds amongst ourselves so that we are truly ready to get our asses handed to us on a platter by Pete. Should we add Omnis Audis into this as well?

Been catching up for 163 posts going "how do I invite myself to a party that was imposed on ND??"
Woot!
Be gentle Pete. I've only played about 1/2 dozen times, and I am one of those freaks that does *not* own an Xbox. Although I did manage to give a bit of a whoopin' to MiracleMan and NoiseDesign. SonExM can woop me 1/2 the time, we are a pretty good match.
What's that all mean? A lot of colorful language in 3 states.
Guess I'm taking Wednesday off too. Pfft!

Omnis: Bring it.
Anyone Else with a craving for halo 2 pain: Bring it.
ION, Suzi, the very short version is that we worked at the same place and I won her over with my stunning looks and wry British charm.
Yeah.
Anyway, the longer (and probably more accurate) version I will leave to Jilli, who'll probably tackle it later or tomorrow. I'm not quite in the right headspace to tackle the story at the mo'.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
RE: obesity warning labels on plus size clothes.
They usually put warning labels on stuff they don't want you to do, right? Warning labels are on cigarettes, because they are bad for us, and they want us to not smoke. Warning labels are on alcoholic beverages because they don't want people to drink and drive or pregnant people to drink and give their babies FAS.
So they are putting warning labels on clothes because... they don't want fat people to... wear clothes?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Anyway, the longer (and probably more accurate) version I will leave to Jilli, who'll probably tackle it later or tomorrow. I'm not quite in the right headspace to tackle the story at the mo'.It's a darling story and well worth the wait. Especially if they both tell it at the same time.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I have new hair! And, as far as anyone who hasn't seen me in the last year, or even since July, a new body! This is what's cheering me for going home Friday, particularly since Mr. Jane can't go.
LA friend and NY friend will be there though, and we'll just pretend I've been jetting back and forth between the coasts to share in their adventures.

Now tagless for your comfort.
We went to the zoo last night for their lights show. It was me, DH, Owen and Maggie Simpson Olivia.
They seem to be leaving the Christmas tree unmolested, too. Which is a good thing. I was pretty worried about keeping them out of it.

move out and draw fire
I wanna play Halo! Except, post-child, I've had almost no time on the box, and determined in a fragfest last weekend that I truly and throughly suck now. And I don't have an Xbox. Or live in the same timezone. Can you guys frag-and-post?
And all Mallory wants to play are race games, Need for Speed and such. Blah.
My Christmas Miracle is that I can fit into my nice clothes again. Yesterday's cow-orker comments were "Is it 'Dress like the 19th Century Day?' and 'You should live in Seattle'"
The DH is implementing Robin's suggestion of making a couple behavioral modifications - listening to people, offering noncommittal or positive small statements, like "Thank you, I'll look into it." We'll see. He *likes* being negative and critical and snarky, though. It's his happy place, they know him there.

Awwww...Cashmere! Such a lovely family!
I have SO much to do today. Picking up mom from work at 4:00 p.m., and I have to be packed and ready to leave on vacation then. CRAZINESS!
