Aww, Shari, happy anniversary to you, even if life does insist on getting in the way of celebrating!
(Also, how on earth is DD1 out of high school? In my mind, she's Stor-sized!)
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

[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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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.
Shari, happy anniversary! Also, congrats on your daughter's graduation.
And about your friends, that's beyond incomprehensible. Much coping~ma for the rabbi's family. And yes, fuck cancer.

In my mind too, sometimes, amych, but her brothers are 21 and soon-to-be 20 and both are over 6' tall, so I can't delude myself anymore that my kids are all little. Even the last two (ages 11 and 7) don't seem little anymore!
Someone asked me, while we were setting up the reception at the boys graduation the other night, whether I had more kids coming through the school - how long would I be doing this kind of volunteering? I said I'd probably be doing this one day with a tray of cookies in one hand and a walker in the other! By the time the youngest finishes 12th grade, we'll have spent 26 years paying tuition to Jewish schools. And that's nowhere near the record :-)

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Dude, you haven't read Anne of Green Gables?
Note to self: Don't admit to Dana that I haven't read Anne of Green Gables either.
Cassiepants, don't admit it to me, either. Just in case you were gonna.
Signed,
Is my very favorite and I own at least 3 full sets of the books, and some one offs in hardcover. Including the paperback set that came out with Megan Followes on the cover.

Still finding it hard to fathom people who haven't read or don't love Anne. I was so excited to start reading Anne of Green Gables with my youngest ones recently. DD#3 turned up her nose when I brought the book out, but after we started reading it together, both girls started reading ahead in it on their own. So now there are three bookmarks in different places, but we're still enjoying the group read.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I haven't read Anne of Green Gables either.
I never have either.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I read Anne of Green Gables when I was a kid, but never any of the sequels. I just didn't identify with Anne enough to seek them out.

Oh for sure TOTAL LIME now.
THe movies are great. The first one is very true to the book and the second one takes the best parts of books 2-4 and melds the stories nicely.
The third movie? Ptui. We shall never speak of it again.
And now there's some abomination with Barbara Hershey talking about Anne finds her mother's diary and her father's not really dead and what the fuck ever. Poor LM Montgomery. It's like the ghost writers for VC Andrews found some notes and went fucking nuts.
thinks
smonster - was I supposed to PayPal you shipping for some LM Montgomery books? Fucking hell, what is WRONG with me??

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
sigh ... I've never read any of the Anne books. Just never got to them. I did see some of the Megan Followes version, but just never got to them.
