There is no "natural time." Time is a human construct. Before artificial light, people worked from dawn to dusk, so in a sense, they were always on daylight savings.
I love daylight savings, but the transition does suck.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

[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!
I should be going to bed , not happening yet. If I thought about it earlier I would have taken an ambien -- but since I take the CR this is way to late for that....

I ended up spending most of the day at a friend's house, which was nice--helped her go through her closet and toss some clothes which no longer fit/were flattering, and then we just talked about relationships/life/stuff...and ended up posting a joint "date us!" ad on craigslist. Hee! I suspect that half our friends will be like "Um, this is you guys, isn't it?" in private emails to us, but whatever. She and I are always looking at the same ads on CL and going "Hey, did you see that ad? Did you respond to it?" so we were like "Oh, what the heck...two responses for the price of one when you answer this ad! We like the same people!"

People will be pissed at me for going out on foot alone at this hour. I think I'll stay here and wait for D.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hmm, I am going to try not to take offense at this. Perhaps I am reading the tone wrong.
Goodness, I'd think "jonesing for a wink" would establish the tone. Mostly I was impressed that the three posts in a row listed three different drugs. No Ambien monopoly here.

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

Before artificial light, people worked from dawn to dusk, so in a sense, they were always on daylight savings.True, "time" is a construct of man. But I think mid-day should be when the sun is at it's zenith. Bad enough time zones averaged that out. But now DLST has pushed it an hour off mark.

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.
Yes, please, Laga - stay safe. Sorry you have to deal with that pain in the behind.

Trust my rage
I like the phrase "jonesing for a wink" because that is exactly how I feel.
My house is way too quiet. Joe is gone a lot but Ellie and have only not been together at night one other time. Speaking of Ellie, I'm sure sue would loveany littlecard/activity. She loves Dora and the Little Einsteins, but really, she likes almost anything. And thank you all for helping make the house seem a bit less empty. I've been a bit freaked out and can't make my brain leave "she would be dead in a pre-AB world".

D's home. We're getting ready to head back to the car. I want to tell him to stay in his car and let me change my own tire but I know that would be a waste of breath.
