I vote the mess is not that bad, sj. And leave out a bowl of milk (I think that's what you do for house-cleaning brownies).
Bowl of milk, check. TCG fell asleep, and I am playing on the computer, so I hope they show up soon.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[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.

{{{Aimee}}} Good luck getting everything done. I hope the drugged up princess sleeps during the entire flight.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Ahhhhh. I finally got my bangs trimmed. I was barely able to see through them for the last week or so! Then I went shopping and was able to see the back of my hairdo and it's so cute. I've had it for months now but I never see the back at home. My hairdresser rocks.

I love Gloomcookie's stylist for making her look so fab all the time.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Aww. Poor sick Em. Poor head-splodey Aimee.
And, I got enough money to go volunteer in Israel! And this also gives me some motivation to get in better shape -- if the pioneers could work the land and dig ditches and build buildings and all of that without air conditioning or, really, anything, (I've even heard stories of some who walked to Israel from Europe), then I can get into good enough shape to plant trees and paint bomb shelters and set up park benches and stuff without getting too tired.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's great, Hil! And good idea for motivation.
I think I have successfully dyed my hair. I need to wash it and see how much colour stays, but once I do that I will take pictures.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I'm glad Burrell skimmed, because I can add that my Hubby uses "bitte" as "excuse me, what was that you just said, could you repeat that?"
The full German phrase that comes from is "wie, bitte?", which translates literally to "how, please?" and pretty much means what Connie said.
In my house, "bitte" has become reflex for that usage.
Heh. Cincinnatians have a verbal quirk of saying "Please?" when they mean "Can you repeat yourself?" (Or, as I like to snark, instead of "Huh?") Because Cincinnati is so heavily German in origin, a few things hung around, and "Please?" is one of them.
I got soundly mocked by my friends in college for saying "please?" instead of "huh?" -- almost as much as I got mocked for saying "pop" instead of "soda."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Scary stuff, Raq. Glad you're all safe.
Congratulations on your escape, brenda, and on your co-optedness, Jessica and Fone!
Windsparrow, I feel for you with the demon cough. What's the otc cough suppressant you found, bitte?
Vortex, sorry about your perfume!
Too much caffeine sometimes triggers anxiety attacks in me, but I'm prone anyway. No caffeine after noon for me.
Spent 3 months living in Germany, and about all I remember of the language is danke and bitte, and some random words not useful alone. My sister was pregnant with her first child when we were there, and we took to calling the baby "Kinder". When she was born, they were so used to the nickname they named her the closest they get: Kimberly. She doesn't believe that's the story of how she was named, but it is.
Poor Em. Hope she sleeps soundly the whole trip.
