Continuing safe travels, Stephanie. Freaking out was entirely understandable.
Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

[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.

Aw, Stephanie-- continued safe travels.

Trust my rage
Thanks. I am assuming it's related to my friend's accident mostly, but it's weird because I made this same commute for two years and never worried about dying. I don't know if I'm getting more anxious as I get older, if it's about my kids, or something else. I think that I will feel better though as it starts to get lighter our in the morning.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
"Fuck Stupak" for saying when he wants to talk about abortion, he talks to the Bishops (who are, you know, all men).
But if he had talked to the nuns, they would have supported him. That's where I'm getting confused.
(I mean, it's nice that the nuns aren't asking for the bill to be even more anti-choice, which is what the bishops want, but they're still supporting legislation that effectively bans abortions for poor people.)

Trust my rage
Jess, I thought the point was that, reagrdless of the topic, Stupak was very dismissive of nuns, as in "nuns are worthless, I only talk to the men".

I am slowly waking up and trying to find the energy to go out and search for zeppole for St Joseph's Day today.

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
I don't know the particulars, but the nuns may well be supporting it for reasons broader-reaching than the no abortionness.
There has always been a bunch of social justice oriented leaders in the Roman Catholic church and some of the Sisters can be particularly mouthy. JZ would know the specifics.
In happy me news, the rec center in my neighborhood not only has an excercise room, it has computers with ::gasp:: pretty nice printers. In fact, one is color. I haven't had a printer in years since I don't print much, never more than what was reasonable to do at work. Job (both legal and voice over) hunting is sooooo much easier with this magical power once again at my fingertips.
Not bad for fiddy bucks a year.

Welcome back Nora! Hope you got lots of sleep and the not feeling good was mostly lack of sleep. Glad to hear you had fun.
