[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.

So, if you're downloading an album from iTunes and it keeps timing out, then is it okay to pause it and resume another day? It won't eat all your money and run off cackling, leaving you tragially music-less?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, the songs should still be there the next day. When you come back, go to the "Store" menu and click "Check for Purchases" and the downloads should resume.

Fay, I admire you and wish you luck with your healthy-weight-seeking and all, but I have to say I've always considered you voluptuous and gorgeous, so... well, I'm sure you'll still be lush and lovely at your desired weight. So go you!

Isn't it meant to be heretical and bizarre to put cream in tea? I think I've heard mocking of the idea before. Me, I tend to reach for whatever liquid dairy-based substance is nearby*, but I do remember the mocking. From Brits, I'm sure.

(* okay, no, I wouldn't put kaffir in tea.)

Our wings are not tired.

I think the reason I prefer cream or milk in tea is that when I was a child my mom would put a bit of tea in our milk. I'll drink it either way, but for comfort I'll add the dairy.

Cream in tea is basically an abomination, yes. Says the girl from the country where they drink more tea per capita than any other nation, so I should know.

I basically agree, but I make an exception in Thai restaurants.

Don't they use condensed milk, though? Which is even more thick and, well, creamy than cream, but I thought I'd ask.

My Irish mother doesn't put cream in her tea, but she is to blame for me liking it because of the early splash of tea in my milk.

Mmmm tea. I think I shall have some when I get to the office. (there is no cream there so black this time)

I can't believe I am still home. My schedule was off this morning. I skipped my usual work systems checks that I normally do at 6:30 or so because I was tired. When I got home from my first school run I had messages that I should have done the checks. Ooops. There was a bunch of problems everywhere. I didn't get things all fixed up until it was time to go on my next school run so I missed my window of opportunity for a shower. Then I had to recheck when I got home, and visit here. Now I really need to get showered and get to the office.
