My mother said that the Sawgrass Mills outlet mall in Ft. Lauderdale opened at midnight.
CRAXY

[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.

There's an outlet here in MA that does that as well. It is insane, but...

I mean, at least that's Florida and you're not freezing your patookie off. It really struck me as highly insane when we lived in Ohio and people would start lining up the night before for the early openings and it would be like, 30 degrees.
For a Tickle Me Elmo? SO don't think so.

This is also x-posty from fb, but really needs to be said here.
It can't be said enough how lucky we are to have this community around to share in our sorrows and joys, to support us through bad times and cheer us on in our triumphs.
My dog drama of the past few months is only the most recent example for me, and I can't express how helpful everyone's been, especially in those early days when I was really freaking out and flashing back to earlier traumas. So a massive, heartfelt thank you to all. I owe you all pie, at the very least, but since I haven't figured out how to manage that through the interwebs yet, here's a little video update from yesterday on the state of the Lu: [link]

So, people wanted pictures from yesterday. I don't remember which people, so I thought I'd start by sharing here. The problem? When I'm hosting, I'm terrible at remembering to take pictures. Mom took a bunch, and so did CBD's dad, so I expect I'll have more later. But, for now, my two boys after the big day: [link]

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.
Brenda, that video of Lucy made me grin a lot. It was a joy to see.
vw, love the pic of the man, the dog and the laptop.

Yeah, last year I was still very awake at midnight, so I thought "why not go to the outlet mall at midnight? Really, who will be there?" Oh how wrong I was. And what I didn't realize was that it was one of those outdoor outlet malls. RIDICULOUS.
Never again.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Egad, Tom. And I'm not sure whether I'm referring more to the events described in the article or to some of the commenters.

That is horrible. Stupid, fucking consumerism.
