Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Blech. I'm stressy. And also crampy, which I thought was supposed to go away with the Yaz, but it seems to be getting worse. And I'm also spacey today, as usual -- I just can't concentrate on anything for more than about half an hour.

Oh, and weird email today: the rabbi of my synagogue sent out a letter to the whole mailing list saying that it has "come to his attention" that some women are going to the mikveh without waiting the full seven days after their periods, and that there are not any rabbinical opinions supporting this, and that he doesn't want women who are trying to follow the halachah to be misled by women going before seven days. Which is a useful thing to say, I suppose, but I'm left wondering how he got any information about how long women were waiting to go to the mikveh to begin with.

Yeah, that seems pretty odd.

The status is NOT quo.

Okay, I have mentally shaken myself off and am kicking this funk. I took a shower (!!), washed dishes, and am washing the sheets. Now I'm going to start working on the CTY stuff. This is my resolve face.

Our wings are not tired.

And such a pretty resolve face. Yay for the burst of productivity. After several days of long hours I am chillin' watching the Dems party on in Denver.

As I just said to Al Gore, you go on with your bad self, Kristin. (Except I didn't call him Kirstin. Actually, I think I called him dude.)

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

Don't mess with Pix and her resolve. You go girl!

Someone's husband, mother-in-law, or other close and persnickety person complained.

Hmm. Possibly. People tend to be private about that stuff (mikveh doors are generally designed so that you can't see them from the street), but I can see that, I guess.

Probably not a mother-in-law, though. First, I think that many of the younger people at this synagogue have less-observant parents. Also, even for people who do have Orthodox parents, the parents probably wouldn't be at this synagogue -- this congregation is fairly young, since it's mostly people who live in the city for college and then jobs, and get married and have babies, but then move out to the suburbs once the kids are old enough for school, since there aren't any Orthodox schools in the city.
