Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness  

[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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

(And a couple of bits struck me as racist, and kinda pissed me off.)

Vortex, what struck me was one, the whole delicateness about Charlotte being paranoid about being in Mexico...all lowered voice, "It's...Mexico!" like it was being contaminated by garbage. Two, when Miranda was looking for an apartment, and she yelled at her freaking nanny in a voice of semi-terrified relief "Oh! Follow the white guy with the baby!" And three,on top of that, the only black -- huh, not even only black, only not white, character in the movie was Louise, and she was a Magical Black Person! Who was a servant to a spoiled rich girl who wrote, IIRC, ONE WORD during the whole movie and spent maybe half a million dollars, at least.

Feh.

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

I don't want Ellie and Frisco to eel like they aren't from anywhere.

That's how DH and his brother grew up, and they seem no worse for the wear.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Whoa! Stephanie, congrats to you and Joe! That's awesome.

Doesn't there get to be a point in military promotions where you get to settle down and not get moved around anymore?

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

Awesome, Stephanie!

A friend of mine is also an Army wife, and she has the same concerns as you. Her husband is finally leaving, though, and she's really excited.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Congratulations to you and Joe, Stephanie!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Congratulations Stephanie and Lieutenant Colonel Joe!

Trust my rage

in our case, we have hopefully just one more move. But, for the first time ever, we have leverage over the Army because we can leave at any point. (joe can retire in June, 2010.) so. If they want him to stay, they may dangle some really great things in front of us. We will see. I want to have my own home, friends, job, school, and so on and not always be moving but I am open to cool things. Still, with the dollar as it is, living overseas is not a good deal right now and there are only two Army bases I would be interested in. Plus, I am very afraid Joe will have to deploy again so a lot depends on the election and the Iraq war.

Eta: that was in response to Connie. Can't C and P on the iphone.
