It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

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.

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

LOL. Since when Bitches are ethical?

Bitches are highly ethical. We're just perverted...

And occasionally illiterate...

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I think we make (up?) our own ethics, just like we make our own fun.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Thanks, guys. I've already had some birthday chocolate and scheduled my reduction surgery for next month, this morning.

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.

Cash, here's to continued birthday blessings, and to the skilled hands of the surgeon, the other doctors, and the nurses who will be taking care of you next month.

P.S. Here's to perky ones, too.

I think we make (up?) our own ethics, just like we make our own fun.

Ah, but just like with the fun, the ethics are intelligently thought out and kept for their own sake more often here than elsewhere, I think. And just because we don't all agree on olives, serial commas, and every ethical principle, doesn't mean the love is less. In fact, I think it makes the community all the richer.

My soapbox, let me show you it.

Happy Birthday, Cashmere!!!

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

Wishes of the birthday happies to Cashmere!

Stephen Fry book signing is sold out. Remind me in future not to be kind-hearted and wait twelve hours to see if anyone wants to join me. Grr.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Started moving out of what have been my lovely student apartment for the past 2 years.

It's been 5 minutes, and my mom already starting to drive me bat shit.

Wish us luck!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Seska, we're happy to learn about good causes like your friend's. Insurance companies can be equally difficult about such things. I think too many believe the goal is to keep you alive, and the quality of that life isn't their concern.

While the borders can be a bit fuzzy, usually that type of announcement goes in Press, as something of general interest.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Good Luck, Shir!
