OK, you people have to cut back on posting links to yummy clothes ... or I'll be forced - FORCED, I tell you - to start posting stuff I've found on my own - like this. sigh ....
Yesterday, my life's like, 'Uh-oh, pop quiz!' Today it's like, 'rain of toads.'

[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.

At least if I remember correctly (and who knows!) it's the same general stereotype as "Indian giver" -- it's just that since we think of it as a good thing, it's a kind of weird use of a slur. Like some anti-Indian guy was thinking, "Oh yeah, and when it gets all nice when it should be getting cold instead -- just like those Indians!"

I was very suprised to find out Indian summer was supposed to be a slur. It's always seemed so evocative of slipping through the woods, taking advantage of the last good weather to gather nuts and do some hunting to lay in food for the winter. Like the previous blast of cold weather was fair warning that it's time to get serious about winter.

Wikipedia says there are three possible etymologies, and only one is the offensive one I mentioned. So, er... never mind.

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

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I am his entire social life.
I have been down this road for most of my marriage. It's a very difficult thing to sustain, FTR. Now, of course, he's turned into a talky meat person, and I'm looking at him like, "Do I even know you?"

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Good gracious, yes. It's been just 3 months and I'm having a hard time. But decades?

Heh. I'm trying to imaging KBD chatting up the world, and failing.

Our wings are not tired.
Smonster, same problem with my housemate Charlie. I am so looking forward to moving in the Spring. We've lived together in 3 different houses and he's over time become more and more hermit-like. Now that he's retired, it's untenable.
My boyfriend is also very introverted but he does have friends with whom he gets together occasionally. I don't think I could deal with being someone's sole link to the outside world for very long. I'm sorry to hear this about KBD because so much of what you say about him sounds dandy (except the part where he didn't recycle before you met him!).
