It is the contrast that makes it hard to swallow. I grew up in house with all girl children. So it never occurred to me that a girl wouldn't learn about mowing the lawn, or a boy wouldn't learn to cook. Or that there were any limits on what I could do

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I grew up in a house of mostly boys, and I learned the same things.
Mom and dad wanted all of us to have a basic skill set for life, no matter what we did.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a spike in stupid spam, and it's breaking my Bayesian filter--I haven't had this many false positives since I installed the damned thing.
Most of the spam (that it's not catching) is very obvious to the human eye: invest smart-166837278 or account-4545540494, and no text in the body, just a PDF-extension attachment.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Omnis: right now they are talking about the wording of the poll. Once the wording is settled on then the polling of the actual poll will be announced.

Thrive to spite them
Yes, right now it's a chance for everyone to look over the poll and make sure that the wording is clear or offer suggestions.
So if you read it and want to add something please do!

re: poll. thats what I thought. I just wanted to make sure. Gots to vote! Me'z a good city-zen!
As for the SPAM, I've been getting a ton of "you received a greeting card from ___" where the blank changes from: neighbor, friend, roommate, worshiper, etc etc. Like 40-50 a DAY.

Our wings are not tired.
I've had a handful of the greeting card and invest variety, but nothing crazy. Must be getting caught somewhere. I haven't had so many of the random text variety either. Those are kinda fun.

My SPAM seems to be about the same as ever.

Mostly lurking...
Toto's e-mail box's SPAM tends to be mostly in Chinese. It cracks me up.
