[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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

David, Scott laughed out loud at your E story.

You can tell him that Emmett was extremely enthusiastic. To the point that he was shoving his junk in my face as I sat on the couch, and made a point of showing it. (Since he's blonde this involved a very special puppet show. "Look!")

What is even happening?

Oh Vortex, that's awesome! I just remember pleading with my mother, "Don't tell Daddy. Don't tell Daddy." She already had (and was honest with me about that, so points to her) so it was a moot point.

Oldest boychild overheard certain female in my house, tonight and I was pretty sure of that, from the moment it happened (just based on our proximity) so I asked later, if he knew was was going on. He did. His father then promptly told him to keep the boys away from his sister. 50% of me was thinking, "Oh, yeah," while the other 50 was thinking, "Don't do that." But on the whole, yeah.

Laughing like a drain at Emmett.

Okay, so erika, you're much younger and have seen friends traumatized by this. Is buying Blume's Are You There, God... overkill? I haven't done it, yet, so any answer is cool (I need no reassurance).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

when my father poked his head around the corner and yelled "period! period! period!" I cracked up.

Awww, man, that's genius.

Our wings are not tired.

In another of the "java's mother was crazy" (and not the fun kind of crazy)stories, notice of MY first period was included in a Christmas letter that went out to 100+ people.

I wish I were making that up.

The status is NOT quo.

Java, that's horrifying.

Ok, random change of topic. I just got this question from a friend and don't know the answer:

Do you remember, and I'm paraphrasing, the author who said that one should look for a partner in life with whom one shares conversation, because conversation is the only thing one may have when one is old? And can you direct me to the quote?

Anyone know?
