'Beneath You'
[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 am using fake numbers because...you're not supposed to talk about how much rent you pay?)
Dude! That's how they exploit us.
I'd just note that the market has changed, the economy has changed and you're a good tenant. Bottom line is: you've got to be willing to move if you want to have leverage.
You're just on the cusp of moving being a pain in the ass, whereas all the previous moves of your life were sort of a given and didn't seem consequential.
Hil, your whole situation with the pain and the PITA doctors sucks.
RIP Teddy. Thank you for all your service to this country. Say hi to your brothers. [link]
How sad for the family to have to deal with two losses within a month of each other. RIP Senator Kennedy.
And her profile picture is a picture of her baby.
I can't tell you how confused I am by people who aren't using their own pictures in such cases.
LMAO at MM and Matilda. Dudes, you're perfect for morning laughs.
Hil, way to go on the proof! And I'm totally in favor of painful revange of your doctors and the system. It's not right that you're in pain. I hope you caught some sleep.
Dude! That's how they exploit us.
What the dude said.
RIP Teddy. Thank you for all your service to this country.
Indeed. The fact that he held on as long as he did, and continued to push for health care reform, was pretty amazing.
I can't remember - if I give a reference as a footnote, but haven't read it and don't use it or analyse it in my paper ("for further research on x, see y, z and q") - does it still have to be mentioned in the bibliography?
I read this in the NYT article on Teddy and it seemed a perfect summation:
He was a Rabelaisian figure in the Senate and in life, instantly recognizable by his shock of white hair, his florid, oversize face, his booming Boston brogue, his powerful but pained stride. He was a celebrity, sometimes a self-parody, a hearty friend, an implacable foe, a man of large faith and large flaws, a melancholy character who persevered, drank deeply and sang loudly. He was a Kennedy.
So, I finally got to sleep. Then I was woken up by a phone call at 8:10.
I think it's good form to make a visible attempt to try to quiet a child in that case, though it often doesn't work anyway. But you can't look nonchalant while making everybody else suffer.
So VERY much this. Even if you know it's futile and that your kid isn't a good traveller, you have to at least look like you're trying to help, as a goodwill gesture towards your fellow passengers. Or break out the Benedryl.
