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.
Although, as we drive around, she feels the need to read (out loud) *every* sign. "oo, that place is for rent. Oh, that's a seafood store. Ralphs! I have Ralphs down by me..." It's getting annoying.
Rent a billboard and put up a sign saying, "Cut it out, Mom! You already taught me how to read!"
Or go near LAX and she can read the Nude Nudes sign. Which always brings the wtf. Also the Live Nudes. I haven't seen Dead Nudes advertised as I assume that is really a niche market.

Thank you Cass. I'm so glad I wasn't the only person who had that thought.
I love you folks! bt, I might have to try that reading line tomorrow. Seems she also needs to read the menus out loud.
ION- craxy rightwing Tea Party Uncle just friended me on Facebook. The only thing he has on it, is bitching about the Mosque at ground zero. So I comment that thankfully it's not on ground zero, but a couple blocks away, and also thankfully we live in a country with religious tolerance, and that it helps prove we are as advertised.
Also, it's not a mosque, so much as a
multicultural center.
I believe it will have a mosque. However, even that given (whatevs), the muslms responsible for it are Sufis, who are held in almost as much contempt by the fundies who would fly planes into buildings as we american devils are.
I guess the family politics did not let you pretend not to see the crazy uncs friend request.
Weather is not supposed to be random guesswork! Well, forecasts to a certain extent, yes. But current weather? No. It's a factual thing.
So why does:
- wunderground.com say it is currently 62.6
- weather.com say it is 68
- the weatherbug app says it is 80. (with a heat index of 79.)
MY CAR says it is 79.
And, yes, I went out to my car after midnight solely to have it check the temperature for me because I thought the websites were being wrong, wrong, wrong on the internet. If it makes me seem slightly less crazy, I was right?
Blergh.
Also, it's not a mosque, so much as a multicultural center.
Yes, I know that, you know that, but stupid hot button tea bagger doesn't quite grasp that concept. I suppose if it does go through, he will say this is proof that Obama is a Muslim, and that we are all going to have to convert or some crazy BS like that.

I debated it for a bit. Then just put him on limited profile. Which means he doesn't see much of anything, and can't post on my wall. After all, I am trying to get this family that is spread out all across this great land of ours, to stay in contact with each other more. I really hate being the **ONLY** one who ever calls anyone! It's annoying.
Omnis, neither of us should be up right now. And yet, here we are. What's your excuse? I've managed to competely eff up my sleep schedule a few days before I go back to school. Sigh.
I have been pondering my situation at current school and will perhaps whinge to you all about it tomorrow, but I am still looking forward to the students' returning. My job can be so much fun! I'm focusing on that right now and am boarding the Good Ship Denial about such things as overcrowded classrooms and the return of grading, 5:45am alarm clocks, and difficult parents. Those things are far in the distance, like buoys birds have been shitting on a long time. It's nice here on my boat.
The "Ground Zero mosque" is down the block from my dad's office. The summer after 9/11, when I was home from college, one of the things that made me feel a whole lot better was going to visit that neighborhood and seeing that things were getting back to normal -- people working, shopping, eating, whatever. This desire to turn all of Lower Manhattan into sacred ground is kind of creepy to me. It's not like they're building on the WTC site -- they're building on what used to be a Burlington Coat Factory, and was a Sym's before that.
