It's certainly an insensitive remark, bonny, but my tendency would be to attribute it to thoughtlessness, not intentional spite. I don't say that to downplay it, as thoughtlessness is a problem in and of itself, but it's a different set of issues.
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

[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.

I think you are all right...and Burrell, that is the thing.
I really care about her and I don't think she's spiteful. But, yeah, the thoughtlessness piece is what's getting to me.
I've already mentioned that I'd appreciate if she'd wait until she's finished her meal to call...the crunching/gulping noises are kinda gross...but that hasn't really sunk in.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeeeeah, I don't think calling while eating is the best idea. I recall doing it once, but it was with a friend I knew would find it hilarious and enjoyable.

About the calls: you could always say you'd rather call her back later at an agreed-upon time, then make a point of doing it.

Yeah, especially with the time change, calling my friends on the east coast when I'm in the car or walking somewhere is pretty much when I call them!! On weekend days, occasionally, but, I figure they're busy then too!

Oh my, I hope I didn't kill the thread with my whining.

Nah.
Had an awesome dinner. Eggplant Marsala, which I would have assumed would be totally common, a la eggplant v. chicken parmesan. And yet, about three recipes online. None of which I used, me being me.
Also minted peas, with mint from the garden and fresh shelled peas from the farmers market. Nom. This prompted the discovery that I have yet another cat who is mad for peas. WTH, cats?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I'm in the 2nd half of the Ger vs Aus match. Sad to see Aussies getting their butts kicked. All I can think about is, those stupid horns the audience is blowing sound like a nasty swarm of bees.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
omnis, after watching 1.5 games, I had to stop watching. The horns! I actually sighed with relief when I changed the channel.
