Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

[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.

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

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

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.

The status is NOT quo.

P-C, I'm thrilled you had a good date!

Happiest of birthdays to Seska!

Aimee, what polar bears. I'm so sorry. I will send vibes your way that you will find a way to get this erased.

Welcome back, Teppy!

Kaylee continues to be painfully cute and a total devil puppy, which is par for the course at 4.5 months old. We are working on bite inhibition (sometimes I think I've adopted an alligator) and not barking at/chasing Seamus (the other cats won't put up with it and are fine, but my poor little boo gets scared and runs away), but she's generally a good girl. I can't wait until she gets her final vaccination in two weeks so I can take her to doggy daycare from time to time for socialization and exhaustion. Our local PetSmart has a great program--only $14 if you leave your dog for less than 6 hours--and boy oh boy will I be taking advantage of it once I can.

My most recent Campbell in the line was born in 1813 and married into the Parkers. But unless your Campbells were from Ayrshire, probably not a lot of chance of us all being long-lost cousins. Woe!
