Fandom's Bitch that I am, I was pondering what Captain/Doctor Carter would think of the use of the word lady. If a man can be an officer and a gentleman, why then, she shouldn't object to being referred to as a lady. But then... the phrase "an officer and a lady" conjures up a totally different mental image, doesn't it?
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[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.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
(And MM - she asked for a flaming COW, not a duck.)
And a flaming cow she got.
The flaming duck was a gift-with-purchase. Like a tote bag, but quackier and on fire.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Lastly, something that puzzles me in this conversation. When I think of powerhouse female collegiate basketball, I think of the "Lady Vol's" from Tennessee.
But that's the name that the college itself gave to the team. The universities who haven't slapped diminutives onto their women's sports teams tend to refer to them as (for instance) U.C. Bearcats Women's Basketball.
Which is better, I suppose, than my friend's co-ed high school that celebrated -- and I'm not making this up -- Men's Sports Week and Girls' Sports Day. Nice. Like they were forced to acknowledge that the female critters actually could bounce a ball, so they threw them the smallest bone possible.
One of the many reasons I loved going to an all-girls' school.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I went to a women's college; we frequently had to correct those who called it a "girls' school". It was nice having the entire student government young women, everything was geared to women. (And the infirmary had stirrups permanently attached to the examining tables. THAT will freak out a guy!)

Thanks, guys. I'm trying to not think about things too much.
I hope you feel better as the days goes on, hon.

Well, as my chiro said this morning, "You need to remember this was a serious injury, and you need to treat yourself as such."
I suck at that.
