[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.

bonny, we've used Amica for years for coverage on many fronts. In CA I had someone hit my car on Tuesday and they had a check in my hands on Wednesday, with no rate increases.

So glad you and B. are okay!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

That's the big question for me. Was it designed for that kind of pressure?

The comments I've been saying say there is likely a physical jam, like part of the casing structure was dislodged during the kick and is blocking it from closing. Can't remember how informed that particular speculation is.

Gud, and anyone else interested, I recommend checking out The Oil Drum [link] Lots of technical info and links, a lot less hysterical politics from either side.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

erika, don't you have anti-gnat electric things? Buy one, and get some peace of mind.

Or just hang from the ceiling transparent water bags. For some unknown reason, that partly works.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Bonny, I'm glad the damage wasn't worse and that no one was hurt.

This might be the time to remind everyone that since the Magna Carta, Britain never had a revolution.

Um, wasn't there a civil war in there, though?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

bonny, glad you're both all right! And your neighbors, too. I had renter's insurance through Allstate, along with my car and now have my home insurance. I like them. I strongly recommend getting renter's insurance, whoever you pick!

Sure, people were trying things, but in the end, nothing lasted (as in: the system didn't change). Or, as my kick ass Middle Age prof. says: "The only difference between a riot and a revolution is that only the later consider to be successful".

Unless I'm missing the specific one you talk about.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

There was also that little skirmish with the American Colonies.

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

And the occasional Dalek invasion.

erika, if they are fruit flies, they LOVE apple cider vineger. You can make a simple trap out of one of many household items [link] - I use a small vase with a narrow neck.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Why did the BOP(s?) fail*?

I read this as Birds of Prey and thought, "I blame Black Canary." I'm a dork.
