You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?  

[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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Debet, we don't have any human kids. I figured out (luckily, before becoming any kind of a parent) that I have no business bringing up children.

This is me (2 cats and 2 dogs). I may be ready someday. I may not. People who meet me at the bar (none of the actual people I know. They know better) will always ask-while I'm waving a cigarette and drinking scotch and shots-if Mr. Jane and I have kids, and then tell me we should because, "they would be so pretty." As if they're a handbag or shoes or something. I have begun telling them, "I'm pregnant right now!"

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Any good suggestions for getting melted enamel off a stove burner?

I have no idea, but the only thing I can think of is heating it back up and scraping, then going to town with the brillo pad (after it's cooled a bit).

They're sort of like shoes. They get shit on them, a lot.

My shoes don't wake me up in the middle of the night.

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

I definitely want kids someday, and it is reassuring that I know I have a community of people here who are good parents and are willing to share their advice and experience.

Thrive to spite them

I may have kids at some point and I may not. I know I don't want to do it alone and there's no partner on the horizon. And there is the issue of medications and I don't have any idea of how that would play out.

A new burner coil? If it is electric. If it's gas...I got nothin'

I can just imagine the smell, with trying to burn/melt the enamel off. Eck.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

oh, dear - sj managed to cover comedy and tragedy in one post.

Fred Pete, I'm sorry about Teddy - it's so sad when a much loved pet is sick, especially since it seems the end is near. You've given him a lot of good years and just about everything a cat could want (short of world domination), and he must know he's loved. My sympathies.

Nail polish remover?

Trust my rage

can you scrape the enamel off with a razor blade or sharp knife?
