Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

moms works at Talbots ... to support her closet-by-Talbots, it turns out - I'll ask her to heads up us when the next sales are coming, if people want me to do so?

Can you edit the .csv file, MM?

MM- yikes to the Excel fuckwaddery. Also, when your back gives out, is there an inciting incident or do you wake up all fucked up? What I hate is when something SO STUPID triggers it. Like, when I turned to get a Q-tip after a shower. Bam! Fucking back.

Sometimes it's something stupid like, you know, reaching for a fork or something, sometimes it's "Oh. I should not have tried to pick that up." and sometimes (like this time) it's because I slept funny.

It's been trying to work itself to fucked all week and I blame the weather. At night it's been so hot that I can't bear to sleep under the blanket, just a sheet. So, natch, sometime in the middle of the night the temp drops to "eat my ass, Sheet Boy" and I'm freezing, but I don't wake up enough to go get the fucking blanket and tell the weather to "Suck it." As a result, I wake up in a pretzel-like configuration, turned in on myself in a futile effort to seek warmth from my own body.

Does anyone have a sec to help me write a bio statement? I'm reviewing websites for a parents' group and (though they might not use any of them, because I rant a lot about non-functional 'home' buttons) they want a bio. I hate writing these.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

MM, could you run a sort on the file - should dump all the blanks in one spot, and then you can delete them all at once.

Poor MM. My back isn't particularly happy either and I think it's going to be a while before I can see my excellent chiropractor, who's also a good friend. It's for a happy reason, though: her daughter/office manager had a healthy baby girl Tuesday, less than 24 hours after I was teasing her about riding horseback and jumping off of steps to start labor. It's the good news for the week.

I am so dumb.

THANK YOU, TODDSON! I knew there was a simple solution out there, but was just not seing it. You rock!
