Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[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.
Scrappy, your trip sounds like so much fun!
ChiKat, how annoying for you. I hope it gets fixed quickly!
I have just spoken to the wedding planner, and she is going to meet with us at our hotel, which is great! And, I bought baseball tickets for a Seadogs game(they are part of the Red Sox organization). Does anyone who has been to Portland ME have anything to add to our must do list?
Anyone know if there are any hypoallergenic deodorants? The kind I've been using for years seems to have changed its formula, because now it gives me a rash, just like the 20 or so others that I tried before finding this one. I just tried the Tom's of Maine kind, figuring maybe a "natural" one would be less likely to have whatever chemical it is that gives me that rash, but no go. I really don't feel like having to go through every deodorant in the store again to try to find one that doesn't give me a rash.
Sensitive skin is annoying.
Hil, have you tried the crystal deodorant?
Haven't tried it yet, but it looks like it's worth a try.
I have book a hotel room in Portland Maine for this weekend
I think my mom and step-dad are going there this weekend too. If you see them say hi! We just did a lot of driving around, and eating lobster when we were there. Poor mom is allergic to shellfish.

Poor mom, is right. Yum, seafood! I should probably try to figure out where we are going to eat and make reservations for dinner, since it is a holiday weekend.
sj, wedding plans are so exciting! You must show us your dress. Wedding dresses are so beautiful! Why can't we wear beautiful dresses all the time?
Do you (anyone) have an image of yourself in your head that feels comfortably "you" but that you've never looked/dressed ever? Like, my image of myself is in antebellum-style clothes and hair. I wore that style once, for some Southern celebration when I was a teenager, and I loved it. I would wear long sweeping skirts and bell sleeves and tight bodices all the time, if I could.

a place called Gus's s which is supposed to have the best fried chicken in the world
YES. Say hello to Tennessee for me!
If you needed anything in Nashville, I have people there. My mom can give you directions anywhere, but the cost is a 20+ minute conversation. You should head downtown at see the Parthenon and the Ryman and wave at my alma mater, with the most beautiful campus.
Your family's in Jackson, ChiKat? My grandmother was born and raised there, as was a college friend.
Ginger, you went to Vanderbilt? Me too! Oh, the Parthenon. I must go see it again, now that work on Athena is finished.
I did, way back in the dark ages. I was managing editor of The Hustler and lived in McGill the first year it went coed. I went to Vanderbilt in part because it was far away from my family (and it would let me in after my junior year). My family moved to Nashville the next year. Mother grew up in East Nashville.
I haven't seen Athena yet either. I should get down there next time I visit my family. While some people may scoff at a Parthenon made of concrete, it's an exact size replica of the original before the ravages of time and ill-advised arms storage.
