Maine will be fun, sj! DH was just telling me that a friend of his is going to Maine in October and how great that will be.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

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.

Thanks -t. I know complaining about a vacation is lame. Things are hard for me right now.

I'm sorry things are hard. I am much more in favor of things being easy.
I don't think complaining about a vacation is lame, though. Planning vacations can be stressy - I bailed on a major portion of my last one because it was just too much trouble and that was so the right call.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I get it, sj. Sometimes there is just too much work before fun. Grit your teeth, the fun will happen.

The work for this one is just not happening. If we don't have everything we need, we'll buy it in Maine. My body isn't cooperating and we're only going for 2 days.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Maine will be fun. Maine is always fun.
Student loans are confusing. I got a form informing me that I had received my loan money, but I never actually got the check. I emailed the financial aid office, and they said that I got it as an electronic transfer, not as a paper check. I replied that no, I didn't get it in either form, and they had never asked me for my bank account info so that they could send it electronically.

We're in the market for a car, but I just can't figure out what we can get. We want something smaller with better mileage because most of our locations now will store our instruments, so we don't need to do all that hauling all the time. But we live on a very dirt road, so we need something 4x4 or all wheel at the least that can handle the clay when it turns to mud. Anything that will do that a) doesn't have that great mileage and b) we can't afford.
You've probably already thought of it, but a Subaru?

Yeah, Subaru's the cheap 4x4 choice for ski bums everywhere.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Oh Omnis, have I told you lately that you are my sunshine, my only sunshine?
See, he understands that one way to calm down a person with traffic school rage is to talk about positive, pleasant subjects.
Another way is getting them in a sleeper hold. And you can tell whether Jack Bauer likes you or not, because if he does then he'll also tell you "Don't fight it."
