Also, poor Matilda! Feel better soon, kiddo.
Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Matilda heeded your instructions until about quarter to three, poor lamb.
Much in all as I'm proud that my son is a burgeoning trendsetter, I do hope that one day he'll start using his powers for good.
Meanwhile, on the back of Ryan's incident we simplified our Mother's Day plans (no trips of any distance). But it was still fun. Ryan perked up a lot for the rest of the day. Wallybee went off for a well-deserved massage. In the evening we all took a walk to the local fish and chip shop to pick up some dinner (not quite what we'd originally planned, but still a very enjoyable meal). Wallybee fell asleep in front of the TV, watching Doctor Who, Bones and Castle. All things considered, I think it was a success.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Whoa. There was a postdoc that I applied for. It was a huge long shot -- I knew that there are a ton of people way more qualified than me -- but it was posted pretty late in the job search process, after a lot of those people would have already found positions, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I just got an email saying that I'm a finalist.

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
Hil, that is FABULOUS!

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

Wow Hil! That's wonderful!
Also, {{Zen}}. You're a good kitty-mother. We all make mistakes with our pets, sometimes. Whatever they may be, it's still a lot better than letting them live in the street. And most importantly? You don't mean to do your pets harm. Much ~ma to the both of you.

Hil, that's exciting news!

Yay, Hil!
Five fire trucks just left my house. For the record, when there's smoke coming out of my floor, I call 911; try and fail to catch the dog who's in the fenced back yard; and head outside with leash, laptop, purse and keys.
Last Thursday the blower went out in my heat pump. That was depressing because I knew it would mean more deficit spending and, while the weather has been nice, my house is not set up for open windows and it's stuffy and warm. The repair is scheduled for Tuesday. Tonight the blower motor burned up.

Oh Ginger! So glad you're ok!
How bad was the damage? Smoke? Water?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
OMG, Ginger, so glad you're okay! I'm anxious about the damage, too. Are you in the house tonight?
