[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I love that relax bear. He's just got a good philosophy, you know?

Compassionately intolerant
all-things-as-they-should-be ~ma for Connie and Cashmere. Car woes and uncertainty do very much bite.
Know what else bites? Being a motivator who needs a motivator. I'm a coach with good ideas and a practice that needs to grow by about 400% immediately.
I'm stuck...so in looking for help in getting unstuck, I've decided I need a mentor. This represents a giant step away from my massive independent streak, the taking of which makes me proud...but a bit disillusioned.
There is no women's business center in DC. SCORE only really wants to talk to you if you plan on contracting with the government. There is no mastermind group that I can find on the web...and none that don't cost major dollars.
I've scoured my house from top to bottom in a mad cleaning frenzy that has left me bruised from top to bottom. I'm ready to get moving on the various things I need to do to build my business and yet? Still stuck.
Anybody have the Mentor Fairy's number? I need a hook-up!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I'd have preferred it to stay historical, rather than get bogged down in Faux Orientalist Lord Of The Rings stuff.
This probably brands me as a hopeless pedant, but I haven't watched and don't plan to watch 300 for this very reason--the fantasy aspects would drive me crazy! For some reason the Greco-Persian Wars grabbed my interest big time a few years ago, but so far none of the fictional accounts of Thermopylae that I've read have satisfied me. So I'm planning to write my own, only focusing on the larger conflict and not just the Spartans and Thermopylae. I've got a pretty good idea what my two major characters are going to be like, and the big picture history part of the plot writes itself, so now all I need are character arcs within that big picture plot...and research so I'll know ancient Greece like I know Regency England.
Maybe I'll write it within the next decade sometime...

Our wings are not tired
I'm trying not to think about the fact that on top of everything else I have going on right now I start teaching again in another week.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Gronklies.
Happy first day of school to Suzi's kids!
HEC ALERT: I'm getting my hair cut tonight. My two requirements are: 1) pieces in my face so's I can hide behind them, and 2) looks good coming out from under a helmet. Any ideas?
(I may actually have to grow the back out long, just to compensate for the helmet hair.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Connie, I had the same thing happen once, ages ago. The mechanic I took it to didn't charge me a penny for putting in a new bolt - but he may have been in a generous mood as he had just had my business for a new clutch a couple weeks before. With any luck your mechanic will think it takes longer to fill out the paper work than to fix, and will slide it to you on that basis.

Ok, I volunteered to bring a sugar-substitute dessert to Daniel's family reunion this weekend. I'm leaning toward something cheesecake-ish as it doesn't take that much sugar to begin with, so there's less fake sugar to weird up the flavor. Any suggestions or ideas or recommendations for recipes?
ETA: killed the thread with my last post. Mebbe I'll just shu'p now.
