Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

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.

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?

Do people really lie about NGA status that often?

Yes. Even my lesbian friends always have to take pregnancy tests for those types of things even when they explain sex with women only thing.

Thrive to spite them

They made me sign a paper saying something to the effect that I had refused/denied to take a pregnancy test and I wouldn't hold the surgery center responsible if it turned out I was pregnant and there was damage done. At least I think that's what it said.

You have to have someone stay with you and I had Mom back there waiting until I was wheeled back, I guess maybe if there was a young woman iwth a parent and didn't want to admit she had sex she might lie.

This, at least, seems reasonable. They have documented CYA. But not insulted me by implying that I'm lying or too dumb to know. (And let's not even bring up the one that Hil [I think] had to pay for, on what I assume is not a giganto salary). Wackiness.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I have a new hero: Barbara Holland, author of The Joy of Drinking.

From today's Washington Post >[link]

Booze, she writes, is "the social glue of the human race." As soon as humans stopped wandering around looking for berries and settled down to raise crops, they started creating wine and beer and, not coincidently, civilization.

"Probably in the beginning, we could explain ourselves to our close family members with grunts, muttered syllables, gestures, slaps and punches," she writes. "Then, when the neighbors started dropping in to help harvest, stomp, stir and drink the bounty of the land, after we'd softened our natural suspicious hostility with a few stiff ones, we had to think up some more nuanced communication, like words. From there, it was a short step to grammar, civil law, religion, history and 'The Whiffenpoof Song.' ''

eta: My complete lack of formatting ability might indicate that I have been drinking, even though so far I've had nothing stronger than Diet Coke.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Speaking of books. There's already more than one fake *ahem* out there claiming to be "Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows".

Sheesh.

move out and draw fire

Wah. Didn't get the house I applied for, so there's $100 gone. There was another family applying, almost exactly the same except no animals.

Also, Mal is running a temp of 101, so I may be staying home with him tomorrow. Good for the third week of the new job.

Wish me perfect-house-and-soon-ma.

Mostly lurking...

I can't see the Nora picture! *pout*

Raq, how frustrating. I'm so sorry.

Oh, Ginger. My faith in humanity is not increasing.

Kristin, I'm done for the day; you can have my motivation.

Iiiiinnnnteresting.

My friend who works at a church had mentioned the ArkAlmighty site - she's received info about it, but I don't think she realized it was related to the movie.

Iiiiinnteresting.
