You're not thoughtless, JZ. I hadn't even realized until I read what erika wrote that that is one of the reasons I'm freaking out. I can't walk to places, can't drive other peoples cars, and have a bitch of a time trying to rent one with hand controls.
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.

I'm taking them with breakfast.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Mine is much more lie-on-the-floor-in-the-fetal-position-clutching-abdomen-and-keening-from-the-pain. Although there might be disruptive bodily functions as well.
Bugger. I still think you should go over there and keen in her no-customer-service-skills, redtaped face. Although hopefully it won't be neccesary.
Incidentally - bless you all for offering to help with the Passport to the World stuff! Alas, we've just got Brazil left to go, and a week of recapping & pulling all we've learned together, before the holidays. However, I shall keep your offers in mind...
(((sj))) mobility-ma to you, mate. And omnis, I'm gobsmacked by the whole "Hey guys, we've got a new cripple!" thing. (Although I think I'd likely have said "special arrangements" myself in those circumstances, even though not talking about cake and streamers. But I can understand you not liking the term.)
Meanwhile, on a totally different (and thoroughly shallow) note, I am delighted to have discovered a new yummy snackfood: crunchy fried salmon skin! Yay! In bags like bags of crisps, but it's salmon skin instead of slices of potato! Which is yummy [especially dusted with chili, as this is], and has 7g of fat, 12g of protein and 0g of carbs per bag! Yay! Calcium-rich chips of crunchy protein-packed, Omega-3-containing goodness! Yum!(I'm still very partial to the slivers of almonds mixed with tiny crunchy Indian anchovies, which are also very calcium-rich, and make a most satisfying crunchy snackfood, but I'm delighted with the salmon skin crisps. You could use them with dips! Yay!)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Also, when the salmon run is abundant, brown bears limit themselves to eating the skin and brains. Crunchy fried salmon skin - endorsed by bears. (Let me know if they start selling a salmon brains snack food.)

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm craving a salmon skin sushi roll.
I think we all know who to blame.

whoa Fay, those sound scary yet tasty.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Clearly, you need to come visit again.

LADY LOVE!
Ahem.
Which reminds me...I owe Perkins a birthday dinner.

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.
I was coming in here to brag on what a sweet, loving, wonderful boyfriend Daniel is, but the talk of salmon skin is just creeping my shit out.
Aaaaaaaaaaauuuuuugh!
Ok, I have that out of my system.
Now, just in case you were wondering, this is the kind of boyfriend I have. We met in the driveway tonight getting home from work. Daniel mentioned that he could have been home an hour or more earlier, but he had gone to some stores after work. He told me had been on a mission to get me a whirligig, but had failed.
So I kissed him.
And then he gave me a couple packs of Reese's to make up for it. Of course, that might have been as much self-preservation as kindness, because I've got PMS.
But still, the whirligig hunting? Definitely Boyfriend Hall of Fame material.
