Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

[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.

Thanks for the hugs and the ~ma last night. It was nice to read while I couldn't sleep. My appointment is in a couple of hours. Don't wanna.

Trust my rage
You guys! I am going to be on the radio, maybe, in 15 minutes to talk about immigration. I'm nervous I will sound dumb or worse, ineffectual.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Stephanie, I suspect you are on now, but know in your head, you are a Buffista! And, as a group, it is well known, we are wise, and very opinionated. You will sound very smart, and do wonderfully.
Do I quit the group I started the first place? Ask the guy to leave? Clearly there's a problem here, and there's only so much I can do - but I can't change my native tongue to Russian nor have the knowledge of 3 years in linguistics he has.Shir, I would ask the group. At the start of the next session, just put it out there. "hey everyone, I know I pulled this study group together, and I just want to make sure everyone thinks it is helping. It seems me and xxxx are butting heads for sections of our time. I want to make sure that isn't distracting from the goal, and is there anything we can do to make it go better/smoother". Something along those lines. I leave it to the hive mind for other opinions. We seem to be wiser as a group.
ION. I got some sleep. I feel a little less stressed. Lots of little things to tackle before leaving. But I think manageable. But must resist temptation of recliner chair, tv, and interwebs.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
You'll be great, Stephanie. Just remember to take a breath before you speak, start deliberately and compose your thought before you blab. Also be conscious of your "uhms" and "like" verbal filler.
That's what has worked for me on the radio. Mostly I have a written note in front of me that says "Slow Down!"

ah, damn, Barb, I'm sorry. Keeping my fingers crossed that the experience eventually leads to a payoff!

Thanks, guyys! The producer said I was great. I almost forgot my phone number, though.

vw, how's your mother doing?
She’s doing pretty well. Nothing is broken or pinched. She’s got some good painkillers, and she’s back at work today.
You guys! I am going to be on the radio, maybe, in 15 minutes to talk about immigration. I'm nervous I will sound dumb or worse, ineffectual.
You will be amazing, because you are amazing. Oh, and I see it went well. YAY!

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

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
