[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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

WindSparrow is wise.

I know that the work I do is important. Not important on a grand scale, like teaching math or English to several classes of young people every day or like providing sound tech design to Beverly Hills for the holidays

Why on earth would you think what you do is less important than any of these? You do such important, such difficult work. I am in awe of the work you do.

Yeah what Kristin said. WindSparrow is wise except for that part.

Sigh. Not NEARLY so easy to read a book and watch TV at the same time if you don't have TiVo. Doh.

But I do have a TV antenna now, so get a few more stations. Now I just have to figure out WHEN shows are on. And what channel. How did people DO this? So....primitive. Gawd. (Doesn't help that there's no TV remove, apparently!)

Happy Anniversary Nora and Tom!

We're having a good time on vacation so far. TCG's neice and nephew are so adorable. We saw his nephew play soccer tonight. It's amazing how much energy and fighting spirit the little guy has.

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.

There are different kinds of importance, I guess. What I do is vitally important to a handful of people who are seldom recognized as important.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

when you have influence on individuals on a personal level, it is FAR MORE important than those who touch on masses in generic ways.

I wonder why DH makes so much more money pricing property/casualty insurance than my friend who works as a psychologist at a VA with severely schizophrenic patients. The world is very odd and seldom makes sense to me.

I've had a lot of jobs. From slagging pages of the JC Penny catalog to working at a non-profit nature conservation organization.

My favorite job--the job I loved to go to and came home happy from every single day? Sorting apples in an apple orchard.

Ooh I wanna play!

My favorite job- Driving a horse and carriage in Chicago.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

My favorite job was working at a little gift shop where all of the customers knew me by name and where I was often left in charge of the whole place. Best job ever. It didn't hurt that I would also get tons of free stuff, spent a lot of time bagging up goodies of which I was allowed to eat as much as a wanted, and my boss bought me lunch everyday. It spoiled me for every job since.
