Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.  

Closed Threads

[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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Happy B-day, ChiKat! I only just realized I hadn't subbed to the new Bitches so I'm way behind.

Has anyone ever bought stuff from myshape.com? I kind of love the idea of it. It's a clothes shopping aggregator, from what I can tell, but you set up a fairly exhaustive profile with preferences and measurements, so what they show you in a search is profiled to what will fit and, hopefully, flatter. From what I've seen so far they seem to be hitting things well. It leans a little toward the pricy side but there's definitely a lot that's reasonable. They've got a big sale going on this weekend so I thought I'd mention.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Happy birthday ChiKat!

I spent 5 hours learning how to maintain my bike today. Fun, but then I was too tired to go for a ride, as I had half planned. Tomorrow morning, though, gonna check out the sweet action on my perfectly adjusted shifters.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

You know what I hate?

I hate it when I act like an asshole for no good reason and then have to apologize for it.

I hate it a lot.

Hil! I missed your birthday. Happy belated birthday, and I hope it was grand!

Compassionately intolerant

Wordnik is on my toolbar. I love that tool.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

It now costs $185, that's over 18 hours' wages, for me to see a doctor. And I have insurance.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I hate it when I act like an asshole for no good reason and then have to apologize for it.

I'm with you. I ruined last night by being a sodding idiot. I'm trying to work out how to apologise. (Being in pain all the time makes me cranky, and generally sucks - but is a reason, not an excuse.)

Flippin' 'eck that's a lot. Note to self: moving to the States would be expensive.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Insurance in the USA is very crappy for people employed by companies with less than a couple hundred workers.

Really small businesses are forced to offer things like $2500/year deductible just to offer any insurance at all.

I've read about this before, but it deserves special note here:

Police in Southern California know what the man looks like (from surveillance video) but have not yet apprehended the well-dressed, 70ish man who has robbed four banks since August, with the latest being a Bank of America in Rancho Santa Fe in October. The man has shown special dexterity to pull off the robberies, since he is on oxygen and has to carry around his own tank. [KSWB-TV (San Diego), 10-27-09]

You're never too old to learn new skills.

Or are they new? Maybe he's an old-time bank robber who lived past his loot and decided he needed to stock up...

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

"Mollywhopped"? Really?

Has anyone ever bought stuff from myshape.com?

I have! I've liked almost everything I've gotten from them. If you enter your measurements, they take the guesswork out of what size will actually fit you, and they do a good job of finding clothes with a flattering cut.

Guy's gotten away with four bank robberies and he's carrying around an oxygen tank? Dang, that's impressive.
