[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.

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?

Always Anti-fascist!

No, I think that would be nice, Cindy. Just don't talk about fertility rituals and shit. A special acknowledgement is nice...I wish my mother had done a bit more. Not cake more, but my mother is a major stoic and not much for rituals and Emoting.

I found "Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation..." from Oscar Wilde. [link]

Heh. The full Oscar Wilde quote:

"Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation, and conversation must have a common basis, and between two people of widely different culture the only common basis possible is the lowest level."

[link] Probably not what you were looking for.

Man, Vortex, your dad was so cool.

I, for reasons unknown to me, dutifully kept things secret (there was a stash of pre-menopause pads and tampons in the basement that lasted a few months) until I had to request a purchase of pads be made.

It didn't occur to me until I was well into my 20s that there was anything abnormal about my cycle (where 35 days was a short cycle, and sometimes, I could go a few months). I clearly needed to talk about my period more.

What is even happening?

Mine averages about 22 days. STILL.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Wow, Cindy! That's way more cool than Emmett eager to show me his new Man Hair Down There.

Please let this be the last post on the pubic-hair state of any Buffista offspring. Ever.

I beg. I plead. I pray.

Okay. But it was worth it to make Cindy's husband laugh.

Tell that to Emmett's shrink.
