I fell down and got confused. Willow fixed me. She's gay.

Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...  

[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.

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

Think of it this way: any gear will make the gear it turns go the other direction, right? If a gear moves clockwise, it will cause the interlocking gear to go counterclockwise, and vice-versa.

So Gear 1, if turned clockwise, will make Gear 2 turn counterclockwise.

Except it's also touching Gear 3, which means it will also make Gear 3 turn counterclockwise.

Unfortunately, Gear 3 is also touching Gear 2, so it will attempt to make Gear 2 turn clockwise.

Then you have a problem.

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

Then you have a problem.

And then things start going "ping!" and flying about the place. There may be fire.

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

And your mechanic will tell you a bunch of unrelated things need to be replaced.

Punishingly Intricate

Think of it this way: any gear will make the gear it turns go the other direction, right?

thanks. I do understand it. I just don't really get it, you know? I can't see it happening in my head. It's my disability!

Because books.

I can't see it happening in my head. It's my disability!

::sits with lisah::

It looked perfectly fine to me. I can't see anything like that unless I actually *see* it in motion. This could be why math is a problem for me.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

I'd kill for a rate like that to NM. I usually pay in the $500 range booking way ahead.

hahahahahaha
t gasp
hahahahahaha!

I'd kill for a rate like $500 to NM. Usually it's that much to Seattle.

Yes, I chose to live here, where Alaska Airlines is the only option and thus soaks us at every opportunity.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I looked at some of those fabrics. Has Jilli seen this?

And Raq, your hair is wonderful! shiny, sexy ... and gives you a different look. (Change can be fun!)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I can't see it happening in my head.

I can't see it in my head, either. I have to draw little arrows of motion on the rims of the gears. That one is simple enough that I can picture the little arrows and hold them in mind long enough to see the problem, but I have to be looking for a problem to catch it.

Huh. I can picture two of the gears turning in my head quite easily. Supposedly men are better at visualizing stuff like this.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I didn't have a problem with it either.
