Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

[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.

Owie. I just totally wiped out on the sidewalk walking the dog. Palms, elbows, and really ouchy knee. I wasn't even drinking or doing anything stupid, just strolling down the street. Unfair!

Think of it this way. If there's a zero sum total of wipe outs in the universe, then you just saved Erin or Hil or Ginger some scrapes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That is unfair! I like Hec's take on it, though.

Announcement: Every time I clean the kitchen and leave, it mysteriously gets dirty and smelly by the time I return.
Analysis: Two boys are messier than one.
I just wish I'd had time to hang out with them in addition to cleaning up after them.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I went to trapeze school again today. I had some minor confidence problems about my upper body strength, so I spent most of the time working on stuff on the ground and on the low stationary trap. We're going back next week, though, so I'm going to do a lot of pushups and stuff like that this week so that I'll feel better about it by then. (Seriously, if I thought about it logically, I've done the flying trap before, and I was OK on the stationary trap today, so I should have had no problem with flying trap today. But I kept getting onto the platform, grabbing the bar, and thinking "Yeah, no way I'm going to be able to keep this grip while swinging." I think I ended up psyching myself out by thinking about it too much. Next week, new day, fresh mind, no problem.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

I found this out when I lived with guys in college. Funny thing is, same goes for two toddlers.

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.
I think Daniel is statistically more likely to do the dishes than I am, here. But I might be more likely to get the stove and counters while I'm doing the dishes than he is. At least that's not the real challenge keeping this place up.

Heh. I don't want to be unfair; I know that they've been working their asses off all week. Still, the dishwasher is right there!
But it doesn't bother me that much. At least I know someone else is living in the house.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I've never lived in a dwelling with a dishwasher enough to get used to them. It's kind of sad, really.
I feel like I'm in a Monty Python bit when people extol the virtues.
Man:
I mean, you've been around a bit, you know, like, you've, uh... You've 'done it'...
Squire:
What do you mean?
Man:
Well, I mean like,... you've used...a dishwasher
Squire:
Yes...
Man:
What's it like?
