You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

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.

Mostly lurking...

sj, CBD says, "Girlfriends know everything. We know this."

And Vortex, I am SO with you. We stopped by last weekend and bought nothing.

I actually made out pretty well at the LnT going out of biz sale. Redecorated my office with some lovely new materials.

I happened to be at BedBathnBeyond yesterday and realized just why LnT went out of business. I suspect it had less to do with the economy and more to do with being horribly disorganized. BBnB was awesome in comparison.

Much peace to Aims' family and healing to Lib's mom. Much ~ma all around.

Trust my rage

Hi All! I have been so absent lately. We have guests and Joe has been gone. And both kids have fevers. So, we are watching A Bug's Life and just hanging out. Frisco is helping me by kicking the keyboard occasionally.

Aimee, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Our wings are not tired.

"Girlfriends know everything. We know this."

Yep, goes for wives too.

Hi there busy Stephanie! Hope the fevers are the quick nothing to it type that kids get. Ah, A Bug's Life. My babies were watching How High earlier where a couple of stoners get perfect SAT scores and go to Harvard or some such. I was working and not watching too closely. The movie preferences change. At least they 'forced' me to watch The Emperor's New Groove with them a couple days ago. So, not all teen boy humor stuff all the time.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

I love that movie. My students were imitating parts of the movie at school this week and at the car wash yesterday(another of those times you can really tell I teach Drama kids).

It is one of my favorites. They know they can talk me into it any time. It holds up with repeat viewing better than the Adam Sandler movies.

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.

Libkitty, very glad about your mom's surgery going ok.

Stephanie, I hope the kids feel better soon, and you get some moments of peace.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

How on earth did I manage to miss Ginger's birthday? I hope it was a happy one. Was there cake? Was it on fire? Gateau, en fuego!

Fever reduction and feel-betters to Ellie and Frisco.

Laura, everyone in this house is well over drinking age, and still, we're as likely to go, "FrancisFrancisFrancisFrancis!" when we see a ladybug as we are to say, "Shoo fly, don't bother me," with a Leary-esque delivery. Panics get "The line! I've lost the line!" And if we're lucky, we get an answering, "Now, now, this is nothing like the leaf of '96..."

A Bug's Life is right up there with The Muppets and Easy Reader in preparing one to face the vagaries of life. "From way up here you all look like tiny little ants!"
