Harrow: You didn't have to wound that man. Mal: Yeah, I know, it was just funny.

Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.

[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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I love the pictures of Frisco and his dad.

Maria!

Remember my two college friends whose brothers had cancer? One died. There's a nice column about him [link] I wish I knew what to say. I wish I could actually *do* something, but she's in Dallas and I am not. A card seems so completely useless.

I find the Grandma [LastName] thing so odd--like, very formal. Do other people not feel that way?

Meemaw and Peepaw; Mamaw and Pappaw

I definitely feel like a lot of people I knew back home had grandparents with names like these--is it an Indiana thing? A southern thing? An appalachian thing?

Now I want to see pictures of Queen Latifah. Must google. Am still upset by how Janeane Garofalo looks these days. NOT RIGHT.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

My grandparents were always Gramma & Grandpa [last name] and Grammy & Grandpa [last name]. Never felt at all formal for us.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I just found out my sister is blaming my parents for her marriage because they didn't do enough to try and stop her.

OMGWTF? Sorry, no. No. No, you don't get to blame mum and dad if you marry the wrong guy. Because if you're old enough to get married, then you're old enough to take responsibility for that damn decision! And if you're not old enough to take responsibility for that damn decision? Then DON'T GET MARRIED!!!!

Sorry, but your sister does sound like she needs smacking into the middle of next week.

t /aggressive bitca.

eta - I'm sorry that it didn't work out, incidentally, and I know that it OFTEN doesn't work out, whether you're talking marriage or relationship. I don't mean to belittle the pain of that. But - you don't get to blame your mum and dad, imho. Or your best friend. Or the priest/rabbi/elvis impersonator who officiated at the ceremony. You really, really don't. Nuh-uh.

Meanwhile - loving the Vampire Ball photos! Adorable!

I have little to add to the grandparent discussion, beyond the fact that my grandmother is known as Nana. Can't remember what we called my Dad's Mum, but I think it may have been Nanny - she died when I was very wee. Ditto his Dad - I'm guessing Grandpa? Granddad?

eta Also - anybody out there had experience of a weird, fizzy/crackly noise in their ear? My left ear, as of yesterday morning and still today, is sporadically giving me a weird crackling noise, like static, or like the sound of bubble bath bubbles bursting.

Googling suggests that it may be Eustachian Tube Disfunction??!!?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I don't think I addressed them with "Gramma Booth", I just called her Gramma and referred to her as Gramma Booth when clarity was needed.

(Though, on occassions when all the grands were present I probably addressed them as Gramma Booth and Gramma NotBooth, etc.)

I know! Hopefully she keeps her head clean, has good people guiding/helping her, and lots of inspiration. I've made sure her new tracks are on the iPhone so I can listen while I drive down to Peter Spragues studio tomorrow. Seems fitting so how. Listening to a great new jazz bassist while heading to a great jazz guitarists studio.

Yup, I'm pretty sure that when it happens to me it's water trapped in there from swimming or showering.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Fay, my ears have been "hissing" and occasionally "crackling" ever since I got over the Martian Death Flu about five weeks ago. A trip to the doctor, an expensive mondo AB, and an accupuncture session provided temporary relief, but I need to go back, or see someone else because they're still hissing, and it is interfering with my hearing. The wikipedia article does say "no permanent damage," though, and that is one thing I was concerned about. Annoying, even irritating, but not ultimately damaging.

My sole surviving grandparent was Grandmother. My parents were Gramma'n'Grampa, DH's parents are Babunya and Dydunyo.
