'Shells'
[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.
How awesome is social media? Today I've been virtually attending a 'digital researcher' conference at the British Library, via the magic of uploaded talks/slides on the website (for following the conference presentations), twitter (for networking with participants who were physically there), and various online directions that people's ideas have sent me. Fab. And accessible!
{{{Shir}}} - continuing good thoughts for you, the doggy and your whole family.
Rather than clutter up Bitches with more of my family drama, I will instead provide a link: The Locket That Won't Die: Grandmother Edition.
Liese, all best thoughts for the SO, and for you.

P-C, I'm sorry you had the meltdown, but I'm glad you stuck to your guns. I guess it was good you had virtual people to slaughter in revenge. It will get easier to be the calm, rational grownup in your family the more you practice. I promise.
Shir, back flung at ya, times 2.
P-C, I wonder, since so much of this is cultural, if playing the "man" card would work.
"I am a grown man. I make my own decisions. This is a MANLY DECISION. Grr argh, smell my testosterone! I respect and honor you. But my gonads say no. I BEAT MY CHEST AT YOU."
I dunno. But maybe?
Bear in mind you have to use those exact words.
Ugh. I am having another day of being stuck at home because my ankle hurts too much to walk. Getting really sick of this.
I am a grown man.
Not until I'm married, I'm not! Wait, not until I have kids! Wait, not until I have grandkids!
I just ordered a pair of crutches online. I tried to buy them in the store a few days ago, but all the crutches they had were too tall for me. Not sure how much it'll help, or if it'll mess up my shoulder, but it's worth a try.
