I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

[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'd go for the slightly less aggressive approach--either the Brenda assumption-of-payment or the opposite, assuming it's not-- "Oh, I really don't think I could commit to something like that unless it was a paid position, you know I adore him and am happy to help on occasion, but..."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Barb, not yet. Thank you in advance! And Gud, I got yours and backflung.

Our wings are not tired.
meara, that's a good approach. I like your wording.

Alternatively, I would like there to be no consequences when I want to go play live-action Whack A Mole with the PMs who think their specs can be used for documentation with no extra work.
Do they ever say "It's perfectly clear to me?"

Now I'm wondering what would happen if someone had a split personality and one personality sued another.Sounds like a lawyers dream!
I have no idea how much to ask for, even if I do figure out how to bring up the subject. 5 hours a day, one day a week. Any suggestions?Call around some daycare places and see how much they ask for. Maybe half the average? Unless that is too low. So it's clearly saving her money. Or some kind of barter system, so no need for taxes, and might make it seem more affordable.

I have internet! I'm still in DC, but my home internet stopped working, and none of the obvious fixes worked, and I didn't feel like going through tech support to fix it when I'm moving out in two days. But, I just realized that I'm close enough to the dorm next door that I can log onto the university wireless network.
I keep tripping over boxes. I am totally covered with bruises now. I also have a cut on my back, several inches long and bleeding enough to get blood on my shirt, and I have no idea how that happened. I didn't even notice it until I took my shirt off.

Also, I have discovered that boxes from the liquor store frequently come with dividers inside that were meant to separate the bottles, but also work perfectly for separating glasses and mugs and other things like that.
I cannot fold any more clothes. I just cannot take it anymore. Everything not folded yet is getting squished in a suitcase however, and if it's wrinkled, I'll deal with it later.
