OK, talked to the broker. Preliminarily, I'm inclined to like him. My one concern is that I feel like we're relatively small-scale and middle class compared to most of his clientele. Like, I think he understands why I'm anxious to get a largish chunk of cash quickly so we can pay the debts and so on, but it's not the kind of thing he usually does. We're definitely on the same page WRT my priorities, which are "pay the debts first, because that's like getting a big raise, and then diversify what's left to protect our investment."
Man, just ascend already.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The vast, vast majority of investors these days are small-scale and middle-class. If those anxieties decide to come at you, look them straight in the eye and say "fuck that, he's working for us."
The other part -- priorities and comfortable fit -- sound like they're exactly where they should be.

Heh. I suspect my entire neighborhood now knows about CBD. My nosy 81-year-old Greek neighbor saw us kissing this morning, and apparently she's been asking everyone who walks by if they know who the boy that I was kissing is.
Oh, how I love a small neighborhood!

Looking through fun photos on Buffistas Flickr pool: Aims, I love your hair like this [link] In fact, looking at that haircut, smonster's, and juliana's, I'm very tempted to go short and bangy...

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

...okay, that took me a moment to translate, before I remembered that's what you folks call a fringe, and it wasn't some kind of hobbit porn thing.
Speaking of which - in my country "laying a table" involves tablecloth, napkins, cutlery and a marked absence of exposed genitalia. But whatever floats your boats.
(Seriously, though - I am BOGGLING at the story.)
Also, Laura's link to The Terrible Loom may give me nightmares.

She sounds like the type to give you safer-sex advice, so maybe you should brace yourself for The Talk....
