Excellent, lisah! Man, now I'm all excited. And distracted, which is not good. Must go write.
Hey, Barb, did you ever get a chance to read what I sent you?
Remember that sex we were planning to have, ever again?

[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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Harvey is a pretty kitty!
Good luck, omnis! It can work out - I moved into my current house having found it on Craigslist (! I know!), never saw more than a few photos, with a six-month lease. Then it went on the market a month later and I bought it because I love it.
What is true of NC is true of Virginia - I wouldn't live anywhere in VA except Charlottesville, a little blue dot in a bloody sea of red. It's because of the University of Virginia being here.

Not even Harrisonburg, Zen? Because I considered James Madison, too.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
And what about my hometown, Reston? It's another liberal bastion.

I didn't much like Harrisonburg, but maybe I was just in a bad headspace when I was there. (Much as I was when I was in Yorktown and Gloucester. Although Gloucester really is depressing; it wasn't just me.) I'm so unfair - Reston is so close to DC it kinda blends in my mind. Sorry, Reston.
The last Presidential race, I remember watching the Virgina map as the little blue dot got slowly bigger and thinking, that's where I live, right there.

I reject your reality and substitute my own. SHE WAS JUST BORN OR IS SURELY ONLY JUST A TODDLER. NOT FIVE.
I JOIN TEPPY IN HER REALITY. Even tho' I see Tickybox regularly and should be more adjusted to her being ALMOST FIVE.

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.

For true. These babies should just barely be walking, and really only said their first words, like, last week.

“Not dead yet!”
Dude, I have a thirteen and twelve year old and I have no idea how that happened.

Ann, that's a ferret.
You haven't lived here since they finished the interstate and upped the speed limits, dude!
I graduated in 1988 -- right about the time I-40 opened to Durham. So, yes, a lot of development ago.
During the summer of '88, I lived in Royal Park Apartments and had a boyfriend in Greensboro. Taking 54 and 85 (with a stop in Graham for a Coke -- it was a very hot summer) was about an hour or so.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Back in the day, it used to be the top-of-the-line women's school in the system,
My grandmother graduated from there! Trufax. And she's 94, so that was in the 1930s or early 1940s.
Not any more, they're not. The whole "getting rid of desegregation" thing is really hurting them reputation-wise, and (maybe more to the point) nobody has any idea what's going to be going on next year in any given school zone.
Well, I thought it sucked from the inside when it was respected, so yeah.
