I think I just heard erika's head explode.
Still, Florida is full of hurricanes and my in-laws!
You'd be near Laura, at least.
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Yes, that was on my mind ... as I sat there boggling at the thought.

McCain campaign did claim his war wound prevents him using computers.So much for the phrase "Adapt & Improvise". I guess that's a USMC thing, not a Navy thing. Hell, I've adopted the phrase. You can't survive in the world saying "I can't do...". Find a way that you can. If it involves someone helping you, so be it.

Still, Florida is full of hurricanes and my in-laws!I just visited the NOAA Hurricane Center. To my astonishment, they have a big map of the Atlantic with "No Tropical Cyclones at this time". First time ever for me. Granted, I usually only look when I suspect one is bearing down on me or loved ones. Guess it's not like earthquakes in CA.

Our wings are not tired.
Come to Florida! We haven't had a hurricane in 3 years. It is N Carolina, Texas, and Louisiana you have to avoid! (shameless attempt to lure shiny Buffista to my world)
We had nuns so we all stood up and said 'Good Morning Sister Mary Whatever' every time one of them entered the room, or Father Whatever if it was one of the priests. I use Sir and M'am frequently.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I spent 4 hours today with a six week old baby and his mother. He was a real cutie and so snuggly. Baby toes!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
When I moved to the south from the midwest I caught on to the sirs and ma'ams for my teachers easily enough, but when some of my new friends called their parents "ma'am" and "sir." It kind of surprised me. I asked my parents if they thought I should do the same for them and they replied that they would find it hurtful and distancing.
I also discovered that midwestern personal space and southern personal space are rather different. A friend said it was like chasing me around the room to have a conversation. She'd move into her idea of proper conversational distance, I'd back up, repeat as necessary.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The kids next door to us call us us "Miss Aimee" and "Mr. Joe". Joe told them they didn't have to, but they were under orders from their dad. It totally unnerves Joe.

The status is NOT quo.
Bwahahaha. I'm going to call him Mr. Joe from now on.
I love Kerfuffle Bunny, Mr. Joe!
