As far as Steph's co-workers go, I'm in the "words fail me" category.
Hubs's mother was damn well my mother-in-law. To the extent that I called her "Mom." Steph's relationship deserves no less respect.

[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.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
For some reason this reminds me of a friend of mine who got pregnant while not married. Her father literally stopped speaking to her. Then she quickly got engaged to a man she'd known for two weeks (not the father of her child). So then her father started talking to her again; in fact, he was all excited about the wedding and acted as if the whole not-talking-to-his-daughter thing had never happened.

People. They're... people. "Rational" my ass.

And they wonder why I don't classify myself as "christian". Oy. I thought the phrase was "love thy neighbor" not "judge thy neighbor". What ever.
ION. Is it too early to announce that (I think/hope that) there's a pretty good chance I'll be able to see a lot of you people, in person, in October 2011?Never too early! Whee!
Also, Shir, you'll be coming to the LA area during your visit, right?It seems unavoidable. :)
Sweet! Can't wait!
ION- I'm home today, and watching People's Court. Two jaw dropping incidents. Case one, a buyer-beware case, the plantiff describes his haggling as "I tried to jew him down to $300". Wha?? The judge was livid. Rightfully so.
Case two. tenant suing former landlord for being evicted. The tenant admits that he brokered a crack deal for the landlord! Judge asks if the landlord was part of a crack deal, and landlord pleads the fifth.
I really shouldn't watch daytime TV.

“Not dead yet!”
I think I kinda hate your co-workers.
I'd say that, only without the kinda.
ND beat me to it. Jeebus.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh Steph, sorry you have to deal with such douchery at a time like this.
And while this seems like an odd segue, Shir, I'm delighted to hear you'll be visiting. How exciting!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Oh, but it's not "legal" or "moral" or "righteous" or or or . . . So all the people who are "legal", "moral", and "righteous" have no reason to treat it as legitimate. Because "right" is how they define it.
As someone who considers herself Christian, I do not understand this attitude at all.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
That's awful, Steph!

Douchetards, Steph.
Ugh. Wanna I should punch 'em in the nads?
