Aw, Jilli. So that pink bag was *not* just right. Darn! It was so pretty, too.

'Dirty Girls'
Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
it looks like the fuzzy purse on eBay is counterfeit.
So it's faux faux fur?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I'm very good at flirting. The problem lies when someone is Flirting With Intent - I just assume that everyone flirts as naturally as breathing, so it doesn't mean anything. This has caused much amusement amongst my friends.
From way back, but Juliana is me. I blame hanging with Theatre Types.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I have an animal question. Are humans and other primates "more advanced" than other mammals in areas besides intelligence? Like, for example, the cardiovascular system. And I thought I read something a while back about humans (or maybe it was primates in general) having a better immune system than other mammals.
I don't know the answer to this one, not directly. I do know that the San people of Africa can track an antelope to death, i.e. the antelope will drop from exhaustion long before the hunter does, but that's got more to do with them being bipedal. And I would expect humans to have a better immune system because we live in large colonies and domesticate animals, though while this would be a genetic advantage it's indirectly caused by the brains. Incidentally, humans live something like twice as long as most other mammals when measured in heartbeats. But I would attribute this to sanitation and health care rather than a genetic advantage; it wasn't the case if you go back a few hundred years.
In conclusion, primates are unusually disadvantaged when being bitten by the Sydney funnelweb spider, both through being susceptible to their venom, and by having fingernails which said spider can bite through. What's up with that?

Now tagless for your comfort.
billytea, I meant to tell you earlier--you're not Aspergers--you're an actuary.
Considering DH, I'm going to go out on a limb and say there may be some overlapping ASD traits in actuaries.
Maybe.

Hee.
How do you spot an extraverted actuary?
When he talks, he looks at the other person's shoes.

Jon does not make honey with his ass. He will however sneak into your house when it's raining.
