Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

[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’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Aims! Wow!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Right, but the question is, can you get good enough interest that it's worth holding onto your money for a while and letting it earn for you, rather than spending it all at once?

I've got an ING account, but the interest rate's been falling along with everything else. Shit, it's down to 3.348% now.

Exactly. The interest rate on our auto loan is 1% and the money that we would put into savings makes 4.75%. And hey, some dealers have 0% interest rate promotions, which, if you have good credit, you may be able to qualify for.

The status is NOT quo.

Plus, if you've never had a credit card or other real loan, you need to build credit, and a car loan is an excellent way to do that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And hey, some dealers have 0% interest rate promotions, which, if you have good credit, you may be able to qualify for.

And then you can always pay the loan off early (assuming there's no penalty for doing so).

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I just have her email and "location". I have no idea what to do with this information. Emailing her could do nothing or it could explode all over me.

P-C : I have a half-sister from my bio-dad. I've never met her and last I knew, she didn't know I even existed as my bio-dad does not acknowledge me.

how did all this come about, Aimee?

Punishingly Intricate

I just have her email and "location". I have no idea what to do with this information.

wow, Aimée, that's crazy! How did you get the information, if you don't mind sharing. If it was from someone who knows both of you, could that person act as a go-between?

I have a friend who kept discovering 1/2 siblings, children her father had with different women. It seemed like every couple of years another one would pop up. I think she even found out about one or two for the first time at his funeral. As far as I know, she did manage to build good relationships with at least a couple of her sibs.

I cyber-stalked her. Found her name on the dean's list of her school in the local newspaper of her hometown. Looked on college's directory. She's about an hour away.

Whoa! Well, exclamation points all around, then.
