'Just Rewards (2)'
[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.

Oh, {{{{{{Shir}}}}}
Guys, thank you, but it's ok. You know, not ok as in "sun is shining, birds are singing, these guys are checking you out", but if I'll get hugs on every update I would clog this thread within two days.
And again, thank you so much. For support, for anything. It's really strange to tell "outsiders" about this for the first time - and this alters the way I tell things. I don't talk about the not-war like I talk about it with other here. Somehow, I sound a lot more paranoid and 10 year old when I talk about it here. And it doesn't seems right, or getting along with the "grow up and accept the suckiness of things". People here are more like "yeah, another war. What's new?".
But I swear. I'm gonna go and study peace and conflict studies for my MA. And I'll do it abroad.
Anyone has recommendations about that?

My DH said he'd ask in his office whose program is hot right now (he works for an arms control non-profit here in Washington). His Masters is in Public Policy.
I really hope there is a path to peace there soon, Shir. I wish you wouldn't wish yourself into the middle of things (although I understand why) because your country needs to have lots of voices involved in the dialogue, and not just hear the government's.
I have nothing to add to the bra discussion at the moment; because of the pregnancy all of mine are ill-fitting, but I am not yet willing to spend a lot of money to go somewhere for a fitting.
ION, our kitchen sink went all wrong last night (when we were having people for dinner, of course), the snake does not seem to be helping the situation, and we are resigning ourselves to calling a plumber. On a Sunday. "Ouch!" says my credit card.
Sparky, boil up a big pot of water and pour it down the sink if it's draining at all.
We've tried all those tricks yesterday afternoon, Daniel, in the hope of clearing things before dinner and washing dishes in the laundry room. Just when we start celebrating, everything backs up, and we're bailing again.
shoving it haphazardly into random plurals makes the Baby Jesus cry.
omnis I can forgive. It's the so-called "professional journalists" who keep abusing it that have been making me nuts and contemplating doing things that would end up with me in an orange jumpsuit with side-slash pockets.
SO not a good look for me.
A large percentage of my email is from physicians. If you thought their handwriting was bad you should see the typed version. Massive abuse of spelling, grammar, and punctuation. This might be why they hide behind bad handwriting.

I have to say spell correction improved my ability to spell immensely. Seeing the same things underscored repeatedly cured me.
It's the so-called "professional journalists" who keep abusing itUm, aren't there editors to pick up on that? Or is this blogger "professionals"?
I have to say spell correction improved my ability to spell immensely. Seeing the same things underscored repeatedly cured me.Yes, that does help me a ton, thank you Apple! However, they don't do that on the iPhone. Only for typo errors (OK, would it be "typo's" or "typos"? I just sat for a few minutes debating. It is not "typo is" which is the common contraction for a 's. But the ' is cutting out "graphical error", right? so?
(he works for an arms control non-profit here in Washington)Sparky, that has sparked my interest. I like my job and I'm good at it. But part of me is wanting to do something that has more impact. Peace. HUGE impact. Green power is another avenue I've thought about. No clue what I would need to do to get into that world, or how much it would pay, and if I'd have to go back to school.
but if I'll get hugs on every update I would clog this thread within two days.If you are worried about clogging up the thread, do you have a LiveJournal? Not that I am suggesting you not post updates in here, since we are all very concerned and want to hear the updates. But maybe the LJ would be a bit more, I dunno, cathartic for you? You could make posts and click "no comments". You could post so only you could see what you wrote, like a diary. Or you could make various group lists and specify which people could see the post. Either way, I think what you are going through is HUGE. And since you say there aren't many folks locally you can talk with, it might be helpful. I think something this big, you can't keep bottled in. Emotionally, or psychologically.
And with that. {{{ SHIR }}}
