[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.

Sorry about the book, Barb.

Sox, I suspect that if you were to say, "I called the spa and they have an opening tomorrow at 2 p.m. Will you and him watch Iris while I go?" your friend would say she would. I don't think I'd let it grow into something bigger than that. While I think your friend took advantage, she might have also been thinking "I worked all day when I'm supposed to be on vacation while they got to play with the kids!" in the negotiations in her brain for the spa time.

Good luck to Tom! I second the notion of practicing a little and taking the time to think up good questions to ask them.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

The universe really, really, owes the Buffistas some good stuff ... any hope it's saving it up and going to release it all at once?

... crickets ...

sigh ... we can hope, right?

I'm so sleepy, I think I just pledged allegiance to the clock.

vw, I SOOOO feel your pain. I wish I had any real suggestions, but I find it nearly impossible to deal with that when they're old enough to respond halfway rationally!

I wish it were Friday.

I am pessimistic about the universe. There's a lot of crappy shit going down in it.

I am full of gronk. I keep wanting to be optimistic about things, but it hasn't gotten me very far lately.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Continued job-ma and x-ed fingers for Tom.

So, we have an ISD company divisional thing today at Fenway Park (yeah, that one) which is all the way accross town from our offices. They are providing buses to bring us over (I was going to laugh if they went with Duck Boats, but they are going with actual Peter Pan buses), but we have to get back (home for most, since it ends at 4) by ourselves. They also gave us all shirts to memorlize the event that they want us to wear.

The shirts are red.

I wonder if I should worry...

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Happy birthday, erika!!!

All kinds of job~ma to Tom.

Bleargh. It's a morning. I am tired. Overslept but at work well before my first class, just well after my official report time. Can I just say that I hate having to get here over an hour before my first class? I stay late after school getting stuff done because I don't function well in the morning. So, if I get here "on time," I have an hour of piddling around.
