Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[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.
Get better juliana!
juliana, my sister in sickness! I'm home again today, trying really hard to (finally) finish my effing paper in between the watering eyes, sneezing, and general ookiness.
I woke up with a horrible sore throat and a nagging headache. Don't wanna be sick, but everyone else has been.
Health~ma to all the sickies. My sore throat finally seems better today.

Thank you, DJ. I'm thinking of you.
However, I did not go to jail.
Yes, this does help put lifes little bumps in perspective.
juliana, get well vibes zooming your way.
Spring sports season is in full swing for my kids. CJ had a scrimmage yesterday, opening ceremonies are this weekend. K-Bug's varsity team has started their pre-season games and I just found out that these games count toward NCS (post-season play), so their win last week was HUGE. And it is killing me to be missing spring training this year. Pout (but at least I haven't gone to jail).
My back is still completely screwed from whatever I did to it while I was on the treadmill last night (it's an ancient one with a really narrow tread, so I think I was overcompensating and making sure I put one foot in front of the other, thus giving my lower back a lot more hassle than usual). I had the heating pad on it when I got home, then took aspirin when I woke up and just now, and it still aches. I'm going swimming at 5:00, and I hope that'll stretch it out some. Otherwise, I might call in sore-as-all-hell tomorrow morning (or at least bring my heating pad with me to work).
Phil's Sneaky Plan: (which he learned from some other guy) Register the car under a false name with a false address. All the tickets go off into the ether. When you have to renew your registration you sell the car to yourself under another false name. When Phil went into the DMV to handle this transaction, the clerk there helpfully noted, "The guy who had the car before you had $2,800 worth of tickets. You should probably change the license plate too, or they might boot or tow your car by mistake." So he paid the $23 to get a new license plate.
He did that for three years until he heard a tow truck hauling his beat up old pickup away. He didn't even bother to get out of bed. He said it was totally worth it to park every where for free in SF without paying a ticket.
How long ago was this? I suspect they check for such shenanigans now....
