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.
You know, Teppy, if we weren't already convinced that The Boy is a decent fellow, we would know now. He must be, to not only have attracted you into his life, but he has a really great best friend. Water seeks its own level.
And yeah, if more people could be convinced to take their frustrations out in ice cream, the world would be a better place. Maybe Ben and Jerry's dreams of Whirled Peace is not so crazy after all.
(Also? The spelling of their name -- "Taliband," with a "D" -- is how they really spell it. Buh? The Boy jokes that the next gang will call themselves Al-Kinda.)
Maybe we should start a gang called the Al-Kindles. Slap some literacy into everyone.
Ellie has taken to calling herself "Padawan Ellie" and using anything around as a lightsaber. Geek starts early around here.
that is so cute, and just plain awesome!
I mean, I can't believe mine is already falling in love with Star Wars, but facial hair!
:: pouts :: Star Wars was early for me too. Sadly, facial hair is STILL lacking. I'm only 37! grrr.

Something like this: [link] Only not so much stick figures as real crutches. I was too tired to do specifics on the crutches...
Daniel, you crack me up. That's awesome. Although that configuration will kill the basket for shopping bags, and the super market is 0.5 mile down the flat road, so I was thinking it would be perfect excursion zone for the bike. I'm thinking of a cup/clip idea, so that they stand exterior to the basket right behind the seat, one on either corner. Then maybe use the crutches to hold up a shade umbrella for the really sunny days (if I can angle it such that it doesn't get lift). I dunno. That's a few steps ahead. First I gotta find one. Then I have to try it, and like it. Then I got to get it home. Then I can accessorize. I want to try and avoid Wal-Mart, if I can. I'd rather hard earned money go to a local bike shop, if the prices aren't that much higher.
"drive-by creaming" - that's what happens every time the Winchester brothers pass through a new town in the Impala.
BWAH!
Teppy, Boy's best friend is a hero! What a nice guy.
Think how nice it would be to live that way, though. Drive-by hugging, drive-by cupcaking ...
Teppy made me laugh! I want a drive-by ice creaming.
o_a, definitely check with a bike shop. They usually have all ranges of prices and can help you solve individual problems with configurations. Forgive me for not being more aware of your phyiscal issues but I was wondering about a recumbent trike--I know it's pricey, but something similar maybe? They make racks with panniers to solve cargo issues.

I told him this, and he says thank you.

I said that we should propose this to our community council (think of the council meetings on Gilmore Girls, only in an urban setting), and ask for a grant to do drive-by ice creamings.
And I'm not totally kidding.

"Read this! READ THIS! I mean it -- you read this classic or I will fuck you up good!"
So Joe and Ellie are now on hour four of their visit to the ER. (Ellie has an abscess in a tooth that has caused the entire left side of her face to swell. She's been on antibiotics for 24 hours now but her face looks worse so her took her in. See LJ for all the details.) The good thing is that they went to the really good children's hospital here. The bad thing is that our insurance doesn't cover that hospital (although it does cover emergencies, so we will see). Mostly, money aside, I just want her face to stop swelling up. After four hours, they have taken blood to run tests but no results or treatment yet.

Not really, I envisioned the crutches in the middle, down the center, together, leaving the sides of the basket open for stuffing.
Oh, poor Ellie. Jesus, Stephanie, the poor kid must be miserable. She will need an ice-creaming, too, I think!
Yeah, except I feel like I'm abusing her by giving her anything sweet. (Or with carbohydrates, says the dentist, since I guess sugar/carbohydrates cause equal damage to teeth).
