I am about 90% packed. The rest of the stuff can be done in the morning.
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I remember the Chrissy doll, beth.
Now that the plantar fasciitis in my right foot has cleared up, apparently, I'll be having it in my left foot now. So much for the summertime joy of walking to the downtown shopping district then to the farmers' market. I tried it today, and now I'm hobbling.
IOfarmers'marketN, I am noshing on bread made from freshly milled flour, with butter and honey. There's some soft beef jerky smoked over Wyoming mesquite in the fridge for Daniel. None of the green beans, onions or zucchini jumped into my arms from any of the stalls.

Hivemind law quesion: Are spouses exempt from estate taxes regardless of the amount?

Probably, but I would assume that most spouses have joint tenancy which would exempt much of their property from consideration in estate taxes. For example, a house owned jointly wouldn't factor into the estate, it would just pass directly to the spouse.

K, thanks. We're just trying to make sure Drew's mom doesn't end up slammed with taxes this year. I'm sure it will be all right.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I have had my hair very long and fairly short, and I liked both. (Although the practically-shaven thing I did when I was 13 or so was DREADFUL. I looked like Uncle Fester.)
These days I'd be fairly nervous of having it long again, because it's so much thinner than it used to be & (1) I don't think it would look so good, whilst (2) I'd be scared stiff of the extra weight making it more inclined to fall out.
It's weird, the number of men who think short hair on women is appalling. Not just not attractive on that particular woman, but philosophically inadvisable.
Yeah - this isn't weird. It's just oldskool sexism. Signifiers of femininity = things that make you vulnerable. I think his drag-you-off-to-the-cave-by-your-hair comment was fairly honest assessment of the appeal.

That's excellent, thank you. (Megan's link, not oldskool sexism.)

Okay, my ultra-progressive housemate has just admitted that there was a time when he wouldn't have dated a girl with short hair. WTF?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I can send you the name/number of a lawyer in the area. If she can't give you personalized information, she can send you to someone who can. But I don't feel comfortable talking about anything more precise in a public place.
