I'm sorry, smonster.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ah, smonster. I'm so sorry. But it sounded like the best thing to do.
Brenda--I guess it's not an option to not have on Macs anymore, but it's certainly been an option on PCs for a while. I think she's on her third webcam-enabled laptop. She lives by video-conferencing.

I also add my thanks to you for giving her your love before she passed. {{smonster}}

move out and draw fire
I left my comment on the boing boing site. My peripheral webcam lights up when in use, but I keep it covered and tucked away when it's not anyway (am professionally paranoid).
My netbook's built-in webcam has no indicator about being on or not.
And I would kick the school's ass, as a parent, if they did this to my kid.
Remind me to fully check out any school-provided computers in the future.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
That's the hardest part of caring for animals; you did it with kindness and love and didn't prolong her misery by shying away from it. And her last days were so much better for being spent with you.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I am so so sorry.
Lucy kitty was lucky to have you to help her, and you are so brave for doing the right thing for the poor kitty.
This. So very much.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
