[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.

Yay meara! Congrats on the home-ownership! Wishing you a successful move.

quester, the web graphic design course sounds really interesting. And like a smart move. Would you do it alongside part-time work, then? I hope it all works out well for you, whatever you decide to do next.

Oh, man, quester- good luck to you. That is a seriously stressful situation. I hope the program is what you need to get back in the swing of things.

thanks seska & nora.

It's a leap, but I really do think I need it. I will be talking to the Returning Adult Counselor next Monday to find out how feasible it all is and how to proceed.

I'm hoping for part-time or full-time work of some sort to enable living. A lot will depend on whether I'm eligible for financial aid.

There is also the problem of health insurance to worry about. I run out of Cobra in June and I am seriously considering not paying for it for May and June because that is $1200 that I don't have now.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh meara, congratulations! Also, you are commendable for not scaring the neighbors by being yelly on the phone with the bank.

Seska, you and the Girl are great for helping stranded people. What a neat thing to do--and to be able to do.

I can't talk Stephanie into the official Steph corset? Imagine the F2Fs!

Bonny, that's great to know, should any of us need to pull that card.

Nora, all best thoughts to Taz--and you. And quester, all good luck to you, too.

yes, but I can't wear the same thing every time! I mean, if I could come up with just one or two other uses for it, I would get it, but I hate to buy something just for one event.

I see your dilemma. I just need to get the mental (drop dead gorgeous) image of the three of you out of my head--or rather keep it there, and my mouth shut.

I forgot to mention - The Girl was interviewed about her mini-rescue on BBC London news this morning. It was just aired. Weird experience, seeing your fiancee on the telly.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I heard the British Navy is doing essentially the same thing and that there's a plan to fly Britons (does that include everyone?) to Madrid and then home by Navy from there.
Is anyone else having visions of Dunkirk 1940 in their heads? Maybe it's just because I'm a bit of a WWII buff. Either way, good for you Seska for helping stranded travelers. Bring lots of water and healthy munchies, in case you get stranded too. With that much confusion, mistakes are bound to be made.

ION- in an effort to clear the pantry a bit, last night I made a ziti. Cleared a box of pasta and two jars of sauce. Alas, I had a serious carb-coma while watching Fantastic Mr Fox, and then couldn't fall asleep until well past 4am. Fast forward to this morning, where I slept through SEVEN alarms! Oy. Tired now.

Be thankful it was for something good, and not "Britons Most Wanted!" (assuming there is a UK version of that show).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is anyone else having visions of Dunkirk 1940 in their heads?

Yes. (Lots of private boats were used to evacuate Dunkirk.)
