I second Brenda's Oh dear. My hugs to ND as well.
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.
It sounds like group mom~ma is needed for Bitches right now.
I am happy to let go of the mom~ma I was hording. For the moment, my mom is doing well.
CJ - not so well. Oh, he is healthy, but we just had a chat about matches and lying. He is off apologizing to grandma right now.
~ma to the moms. (Is that ma~ma?)
In "developmental milestones I'd just as soon skip" news, our daycare center director called me into her office when I picked up Annabel today. She lashed out physically at one of the teachers when he put her in timeout for making a ruckus at naptime. Sigh.
Much ~ma for the Buffista moms!
I just went to say goodnight and goodbye to Noodle. I asked him for a hug, and he said, "Excuse me, I'm reading."
Earlier, when he finished dinner, he announced, "I'm very gross."
He has really cracked me up. I'm gonna miss that Noodle. Fortunately, I get to see him again in two weeks.
I need haircolor advice, please.
I have always gone lighter, but now I want to go darker. I don't think I can carry off black. When I have tried a true red before, it didn't do well with the yellow in my skin. What do you think of Deep Burgundy Brown? That doesn't give a great picture of it, but it is dark brown with almost metallic burgundy highlights.
If not that, any suggestions? Any localistas willing to help me? I suck at doing my own hair.
Suzi, you're half Persian. You can do dark brown.
CJ! Straighten up and fly right!
Speaking of Persia, Signet has a new translation of A Thousand And One Nights out available, in paperback in three volumes, from the Burton translation.
Gleaned from the forward: It probably started as a translation from Persian to Arabic, but the framing story indicates that it has an even older origin in India.
Also, Ali Babi and Sinbad were late additions. Not necessarily canonical.
~ma~ma~ma~ma~ma~
for all youse bitches!
Suzi, are you currently lightened? It will pull really bright on the lightened areas. You'll want to fill with a neutral brown before putting any red on it.
I am now I-Love-Lucy-Made-For-Technicolor RED.
