Happy Birthday, Nora!
Willow: Yes. Hi. You must be Angel's handsome, yet androgynous, son. Connor: It's Connor. Willow: And the sneer's genetic. Who knew?

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.

Thought for the day:
The Tao which can be named is not the Tao, but the Tao which has its batting stats printed on the back of a trading card is way awesome. ("Jesus at the Bat" by Esther Friesner)

All is well that ends in pizza.
Happy Nora Day!

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Thanks, guys! We had a lie-in and had yummy breakfast at home and are now chilling out watching America's Test Kitchen. Fried clams in Ipswich for lunch and Tom-made pan-fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and greens for dinner. Also, chocolate chip cookies. Also, marital shenanigans. Also, beer. Perhaps a nap and Guitar Hero. Man, this day is not long enough!!!
(loves birthdays. mine, especially)

So, is anyone else kind of freaking out and wanting to go get all their money and stuff it under a mattress?
But I know that's not an appropriate thing to do. And technically, that would be stupid, because then I would freak out every day that robbers would come steal all my money out of my mattress. Or that my house would burn down.
But STILL.

Now tagless for your comfort.
It's stressful, meara. But I'm totally reassured. Bush is preparing to speak on the financial crisis. Hahahahahaha.

I'm holding tight to the fact that I haven't heard any doomsdayish news about Citibank yet (which is where all my bank accounts including my mortgage are held). Also thanking my lucky stars that I'm on a fixed-rate mortgage and not a scary ARM one.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Several years ago I looked into buying - spoke with a mortgage broker recommended by a friend and he tried to talk me into an ARM - one of those no-down-payment ones. I looked at the numbers and just said "no way", even though an ARM would have been the only way I could have afforded a place in the insane real estate market we had here. I've been grateful for being fiscally conservative ever since (or at least for the past year or so).
But this current situation - this is scary.
