Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

[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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's really confusing when I've been inculcated with The Parents Are Always Right.

Well...they're wrong.

Anyway, I think you should blow your minds by just calling up your Mom next week and act like nothing happened. But if she brings up the necklace or marriage then you just say "I'm not going to talk about that with you," and excuse yourself off the phone.

Because really what you're doing is training them to respect your boundaries.

Hec, no. Just an excuse for more bullying. He has to wait for them to call first. If that takes long enough, he can consider a plan B, but not after a week.

I agree.

Anybody know where I can buy those little empty 3-ounce bottles for putting liquids in for carry-on on an airplane? I just checked CVS, and they didn't have them. I'll try the other CVS tomorrow.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, I like that plan more, especially because it means peace and quiet for a while. Maybe OTHER people will call me.

Maybe.

I was going to suggest a drug store. I recently bought a couple at the grocery store. They were with all the travel size stuff.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

If you have time to order, Magellans sells them.

I got a nice little set of plastic containers (all different sizes and for different uses) at Walgreens before Xmas.

For those of you following along at home, I did manage to get to the doctor and am now full of antibiotics and prednisone. It is also pretty damn slippery out there and the idiots abound.

I'm glad you got the meds you needed, Ginger.

I'm home and waiting for the nyquil to kick in.

Weekend!

I will probably spend most of it sleeping. And doing laundry.
