Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

[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.

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

So much ~ma to your indispensable relative, Raq. And to the rest of your--and her--family, too.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

What would be good catalog to get pajamas and workout clothes from for an old woman 5'1" medium waist?

Vermont Country Store is a go-to when getting any kind of gifts for the Old Folks. [link]

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Tons of ~ma to your step-aunt, Raq

I did find this [link] rather startling when I got my catalog.

Also, TB, both Penney's and Sears are pretty reliable for age-enhanced persons, and Hanes.com is a good source for cheap, good quality fleece pants and the like.

All kinds of ~ma for your step-aunt, Raq. Peace and strength for the whole family.

Oy, I feel like crap, today. I think I got all of three hours of sleep last night and now I'm all woozey and achey. Bah.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I was without internet or email all last week, so I'm catching up.

Raq, fyi, there's a Bible-type store on King Street in Alexandria - somewhere between the Metro station and Washington.

Among the things I did last week (aside from catching up from three months' sleep debt) I went to museums. Bunches of them. And discovered the wonder that is IMAX 3-D. wow. Also, my church reopened after seven months of renovation - it's beautiful - close to a century of dirt and grime removed, everything cleaned, painted, and polished. Very nice to be back.

Yeah, but I find it heartening to think that people of A Certain Age still want to get busy.
