I didn't skim! I was just impressed that Laga looked it up.
Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

[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.

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

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
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.

I'm a Campbell. As recently as my paternal grandmother.

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!!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Happy Birtday, Seska!
WooHoo, date, P-C!
I'm so, so sorry, Aims, and I have my steel toes at the ready if you want 'em.
Welcome home, Teppy!
There's a SC writer who posits that in the south, we name things like streets and housing developments for the things we cut down, diverted, or bulldozed to make room: Twin Oaks, River Run, The Willows, etc.
