I'm wide awake. My body is so messed up with having worked nights and mornings and mostly sleeping in the afternoon and evening for two weeks followed by over 24 hours awake and then getting up at 3 AM only to travel through time zones that it is a miracle I know my own name. I love my career and have the best job in the world but this is crazy.

[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 have informed the cats that you will be home today. They responded by ignoring me completely.
It's what they do.
We have therapy dogs in our building!
This is making me inappropriately happy.
Also, 1000s of extra roses - so I have roses on my desk.
How long was the British royal family German?
Wasn't William of William and Mary German? Or at least Dutch?
He was Dutch.
Ummm, the first George was the Elector of Hanover.

Nice.
But the Royal family has been mostly German for ... well, it seems ever.
1714 in point of fact, when the Elector of Hanover was invited to become George I of Great Britain. There were several heirs with a closer blood claim to the throne, but none of them were Protestant. He was a great-grandson of James I on his mother's side, but other than that was pretty much pure German.
And AFAIK there's no Hapsburg in the British royal family, but I'm really only an expert up till about 1820.
