[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.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Happy birthday Sail

I'm just hoping Aims dances for us at the next F2f

and children are mind bogglingly literal . My current rule statement at the library "no punching, kicking , wrestling, poking, touching, hitting in the library!"I think it covers most all forms of physical altercation

Compassionately intolerant

Aims, just, wow. Maybe no one's ever explained the difference between funny and mean to her? Geez.

Epic is charitable. Though she may be onto something.

Aimee, I used to work with someone like this. Over time, it came to me (through listening between the lines of her conversation) that her family bagged on each other mercilessly as a way of connecting. Notice I didn't say loving. Just the only way they knew to speak to each other.

After a particularly inappropriate comment about my wardrobe (again), I turned to her and said, "When the people in my family said stuff like that, they meant it. [insert withering stare here] I sure hope you don't." [insert powerwalk down the hall and away here]

It worked.

In my experience, trying to get back at someone on their level never really works. Except for its recreational smiting opportunities, which I sometimes endorse...especially the high quality smiting found here.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Shir, I'm sorry your sister is having such a rough time physically. And I'm sorry she feels not quite up to facing life outside the IDF. Much ~ma for her safety, and for peace for all of your family.

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

I have one (and maybe even THREE should I please them) day of work tomorrow with a particularly notorious attorney. Am I sleeping? Lands no.

Yeah, originally they wanted someone for three days. Then they said they'd try someone out for one day and decide if they'd ask them back for the next two. Seriously? This is how the world wound up with unions, people. I cannot wait for the economy to perk up a bit so the more absurd abuses of the underlings can ease off a bit.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Notorious how?

Oy.

Just had to share this link. [link] It is a "crystal rubber ducky hand cooler." It is $250.

He has a reputation for being a bit of a blowhard diva publicity hound.

Hopefully I'll not be working for him directly.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Matilda is funny.

Seska - how's The Girl's family doing?

Settling in for the long haul of chemotherapy, before an assessment can be made of whether her father is eligible for surgery, which they'll decide in a couple of months. She's going to be buzzing between Tel Aviv and London for a while. I admire her strength of character - she's just getting on with it.

Shir, I don't really know what to say about your sister, but I hope she makes good choices from here on in, and that you're able to support her. Best wishes for your family's housing situation, too.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

{{{ Shir }}}

{{{ Seska }}}

Stupid work has been keeping me busy, not keeping up in here as much as I'd like. I'm eons behind in the delurking thread! Crazy.

I tried to call dad tonight, but the phone just kept ringing, no answering machine or anything. I'm guessing the tape is full.
