This is why I have a slipcover.
Our couch is old and uncomfortable, so the nun money (since it isn't regular income that I budget for) is going to be exchanged for goods in the form of a couch. (Which I might be smart about and buy a slipcover for.)
Sex with robots is more common than most people think.

[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 recommend the slipcover.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I must say he does look like a child slapper. Right out of Central Casting in the old days.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Right??? Like Patrick Stewart in Othello.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Steph, my couch is that faux suede microfiber stuff and it's pretty awesome wrt pet hair and cat scratching.
ION, am idiot. Didn't pay cable for two months by accident and it was cut off. Duke Power will cut me off Tues if I don't pay this weekend. Sigh. Not really a grownup.

oof, smonster. I swear if I didn't have responsible roommates and then a responsible husband, I'd be in the same situation.
We are grownups in other ways though, I just know it.

I may have to kill because I MISSED that.
Boss, we need to build a time machine. IJS. That way we can go see all the productions we've missed, and I can go back to 1897 and buy a first edition of Dracula right after it was published.

Pretty, pretty houseware stuff- Here's a site that has pictures of a kerjillion silver flatware patterns.
All the ones I love are from around 1885-1905. The ones that I think are ugly are from the last 1905's and early 1960's, except for one of a leaf pattern.

Still looking.
[link] WHOA. Maybe I *should* take a sterling set from that person who owes me a lot of money and keeps trying to give it to me instead of paying back X value of cash. On the other hand, what does a person who usually eats on the sofa watching Tivo need with a sterling flatware set for 12?
Here's a diagram of a proper table setting, in case you can't remember if the bread plate goes on the left or the right: [link]

Our wings are not tired.
We are grownups in other ways though, I just know it.
Um, just last week my cable was off for the same reason. This is why my sister takes care of my business bookkeeping.
Attn Car people! I need to get a car for my son Brendon. We are about to be a 4 driver household. We own 3 vehicles, none of which are a good match for him. DH drives a big 350 truck. My Jetta is a standard and although he can drive it now it is torture for him and the clutch. Bobby will happily take this car next year when he can turn his permit into a license. He thinks the clutch is wonderful. The other vehicle is a big van.
I need to get a vehicle that is small enough to be convenient for the 2 big destination parking lots - school and mall. Also, cheap enough that he can work off paying me back because that is the deal. I found the following car which seems to fit the criteria with the added bonus of the kid thinking it is a great deal. Of course he intends to work hard and save for teen appropriate modifications.
Thoughts from people that are car knowledgeable? [link]
