I was shocked by how reasonable our wedding caterer was. The site required we use her so really she could have charged the moon, but instead because the site drove so much business to her her prices were seriously 1/3rd of what the other caterers demanded. Plus the food was good.
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'
'Potential'
Spike's Bitches 43: Who am I kidding? I love to brag.
[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 glad things are looking better for your little friend, Trudy, although coughing up shells does not strike me as a good time. If there was an occasional gold doubloon, there's be something to look forward to.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Hee! Love the thought of the gold doubloon!
I think about how people with shrapnel or gravel in their skin have it come out for years. At the moment, my throat is very raw from having been sick last night (reason #1 I'd never cut it as a bulimic)and I can't even imagine the pain of something actually scraping across that. It's chilling.

Shells, brrr. Though it could make a kick-ass Show and Tell display if he could stand to keep them. "Well *my* shell collection came out of me."

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Gah. That's awful. I'm glad he's home and mostly better, though.

Trudy, that's great news about A! The coming home, not the coughing, 'cuz, owie. Sorry you've got the icks. Tummy~ma!
IOmeN, I had an interview today for a job that isn't. Ah, well. At least they called me in so they could get a better handle on if my skills would be useful when something does open up.

Is it mean for me to respond to a (potential) student "No, I will not send an application because can't follow directions, and are clearly too stupid to go to college"
Student emails me, asks me for an app. I say sure, please send me your address and the name and address of your high school. The response? No shit, verbatim:
621 Ema Street
Lakeland Highschool726 Hollingsworth Road
NO CITY OR STATE!! How does this child think that I am going to get her this information!!!

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Trudy, what wonderful news about A!

Groovy, another product of the fine, fine Florida public high school system.
I'd write the school and berate them for not teaching kids the basics.
ETA: Vortex, she can't even spell her own home address correctly-- it's probably Emma Street

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

No. But then, I've been wanting to say the same thing to tenured faculty all day.
