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.

How did you find out, vw?
She saw me while I was walking Toto, and I went up to chat. I asked if she got everything she needed at the store (because I only dropped her off), and she told me that she ended up buying $700 worth of scratch tickets at the store. I was like, "HUH?" And she was all, "I only meant to buy $100. Oops. And it's not the first time."
She's chatty. I know all about her and her whole family and everyone in the neighborhood that she talks to.

vw, she's not housebound without you, is she? It's not your fault or your responsibility.

Good luck, JZ! ::puts interview ~ma on calendar for three weeks from now::
vw, no guilt! You helped a neighbor and put someone else's needs above your own. You did good. I understand how you're uncomfortable with how the errand turned out, but this isn't yours to control.

Just finished tutoring. Spent, quite seriously, forty five minutes on the definition of the word "solution." Like, OK. If you've got an equation, say 3x + 2 = 8, then the solution is x = 2. He'd keep saying he understood that, but then we'd get to a problem asking to compare the solution of one equation to the solution of another, related equation, he'd look at that and say that the solution is 8. Because that's what's on the right side of the equals sign.
Now, I can understand coming into this class without having really thought about precisely defining the terms in that way. But, it's a ten-second definition, if that. There's nothing to understand there. Forty-five minutes of me finding more and more ways to explain it and him saying he didn't understand.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Yikes, Hil. What finally triggered him understanding it? Or, did he?

Hil, how frustrating for you.
I just ate the most yummy Greek dinner, followed by peach ice cream, and now I'm drinking prosecco. I'm totally spoiled.
