Pain is bad, whimpering (and/or cussing) is not.
I finished all my have-to grading tonight, and actually moved a bit ahead on my "tomorrow grade" list. Yay. I have some library books, and cookies. Go, me.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

[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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Sigh. So I have a top and bottom lock on my door. And the top is a deadbolt, which I used to use only, so that I couldn't lock myself out. But it started getting hincky, so that it was hard to lock and unlock, and I started using the bottom lock instead (which is a regular lock).
And lo and behold, tonight as I headed two doors down the hall to do laundry...I automatically locked the door behind me. DOH! So I had to knock on several neighbors' doors before finding one that was home, and he called a locksmith for me, and I waited for about 40 minutes and the guy showed up and managed to open the door (luckily without drilling the lock). But it cost $150!!! OUCH.
Note to self: Get OUT of the habit of autolocking the door behind you!!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Ouch. I keep meaning to give a key to a neighbor. As it stands if I lock myself out I have to go to Milwaukee to get a key.

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
Can you keep a set at your office, Brenda?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I microwaved some couscous and added sundried tomatoes and beans. It's better than I expected, but still kind of ick.

We`re thinking about getting a combination deadlock.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
What was it Willow said? "Better to curse the darkness than to light the damned candle"?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
We got a combination deadlock and I loooooove it. No more carrying keys when I'm just running around the neighborhood or walking the dog. No more worrying that I will accidentally lock myself out out of habit when I'm just stepping out into the yard to feed the birds and still in my bathrobe. And if, say, I don't want my petsitter to have the combo anymore, I can just change it. I can actually set several different combinations, so if I have guests I can temporarily set one just for them and keep using my usual one. It's a whole lot of nifty.
Does require a battery. we haven't had it long enough to have to change it, but the instructions for doing so were pretty straightforward iirc.
Not using the other lock is key (npi) to this whole system, of course, but that was already my habit.
Also, I think whimpering is fine, but I'm sorry you've got the pain to provoke it, Hil.
