I'm sorry, Aims.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Wow, Laga. How come I never even thought to look that up? I'm starting to be tempted to join Ancestry.com again.
Do it! Genealogy is fun and totally addictive!
I think the interview I had this morning went pretty well. At least, it felt comfortable -- some of them have felt really awkward -- and the last question they asked was whether I'd accept if they offered, to which I said yes, definitely. They said they'd get back to me within the next few days. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. (Which makes typing a bit difficult.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I didn't skim! I was just impressed that Laga looked it up.

I was looking at an old 19th century map of the area around my hometown, and had a "hey, that's where that street name came from!" reaction when I saw one plot labeled "Jms. Caton's Farm." The street that farm was on is now called Caton Farm Road.
That's a common way to label streets in our area; the main north-south street in the west side of Joliet is Larkin Avenue, which was named after my great-uncle's farm which lay along a central portion of that road.

The google-fu is mighty in the thread.
I'm thinking of starting up my ancestry.com subscription again. I still think it's outrageously overpriced, but I'm ready to start trying to track down more of the Campbells back into Ontario. I can find cousins in MI that my dad remembers, but I can't seem to find the link between them and my great grandmother. Frustrating.

I'm back from vacation! And I fully admit that I skipped all but the most recent 50 posts. We didn't have the interpipes at the beach (I think the sharks clogged up the pipes), so there is no way I could keep up.
From the last 50, I see that P-C had a good date (HELL YEAH!!!!), and the state of Michigan is fucking evil.
Did I miss anything else good/bad/monumental?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Well, it is never as funny around here when you're gone.

Awwww, thanks!
I'm currently laundering about 10 TONS of sand out of our clothes and towels, and as soon as I finish my PB&J, I'm taking the car to get washed/vacuumed, because it, too, has 10 tons of sand (also salt, which is hell on the exterior).
Soooooo glad I took today off as part of my vacation request.

Happy Birthday, Seska! You birthday tweets were cracking me up!

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