Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Isn't that harder on the rest of us?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Nah - I've been smiting the Repubs to vote Democrat for awhile.

You can all thank me for the mid-term elections.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I just had the most awful ride home. The minute I got on the highway the weather changed from a drizzle to pouring rain where I couldn't see anything but the brake lights in front of me. When I got home safely I called 911 to tell them that there was a problem with the traffic lights at one of the major intersections and talked to the rudest woman ever.

Ugh, sj. I am so sorry. 911 people should not be rude. Ever.

Thanks, Aimee. Good letter. Give them hell.

Agreed. Though if it helps, it probably had nothing to do with you. It's a high-stress/low-pay job and they're encouraged to get non-emergency calls off the line ASAP. The person, just didn't know how to handle it with courtesy.

I know you're right, but at this particular intersection, I think it could become an emergency very quickly. If she had just said, "I'll pass it along", rather than, "There's nothing I can do about that", it would have been fine.

Can't check pictures right now. Will do so later.

If you are looking for Stockings and Garters in LA check out Trashy. They aren't cheap, but they have a big selection and their stuff is well made. Kristin will probably chime in on this if she sees it.

I was about to post the same. So yeah, what he said. And their stocking selection isn't all that expensive (just their REALLY NICE custom lingerie). You can shop their store online. You'll have to look it up yourself, though; I think "Trashy Lingerie" might be a red flag for IT.

Good for you for keeping records, Aims. I hope it doesn't have to go to small claims, but if it does you'll win without a second thought.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

One of my students saw part of the Olivier Hamlet last night, and was very indignant that Gertrude didn't drink the poison.

Also: most of my seniors are convinced that Hamlet is totally in love with Horatio, and dissed Ophelia because of the Big Gay Love.

I hate the Olivier Hamlet and always will.

I have finished Act 1 of TSP(the Scottish play) with 2/3 classes. It's so much fun to watch their faces when they hear Lady M. describe how she would rather kill her nursing baby than break a promise sworn. You'd think I'd be bothered by the hideous image, but my enjoyment of their freakedoutedness outweighs my own personal revulsion. I'm twisted like that.
