'Underneath'
[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.
I'm not holding my breath for the last six months, for you OR Grandma, OK? Damn.
Ugh-- oh meara, what a MAROON. Jeebus.
And while the husband date itself was lovely, the being woken up a 5:15 by Jasmine who'd decided it was a grand time to want to be let outside so she could cavort in the sprinklers was not so much with the lovely.
wtf is up with Lynn Johnston? "For Better or For Worse" seems gratuitously cruel today.
I think I read that she's ending the strip soon.
Speaking of questionable journalism: when did Lake Michigan become a sea?
Oh, that's sad, but not beyond things she's done before.
My aunt fell in the shower the morning of her son's wedding this past March. She had surgery the morning of the wedding and was at the wedding doped on pain killers, bless her heart. I've always liked how Lynn Johnston really captures real life.

You know, I don't know that I've ever heard a term for it-- in Miami, during the sportscasts, I know I've heard them say the words "spring training" and I even found this snippet from El Nuevo Herald:

LUIS E. RANGEL El Nuevo Herald La rotación de los Marlins de Florida ha sido el principal punto débil del equipo en la campaña, pero bien pronto los peces pudieran recibir ayuda. Josh Johnson, quien llegase a ser catalogado como una de las principales promesas del pitcheo de la organización, dio el paso más grande hasta ahora en su rehabilitación al lanzar cinco entradas en el spring training extendido en Júpiter.
