Can you compare it to something that she cares about? Like the right blouse in the wrong size, or a CD by an artist with the right first name, but wrong last name?
Good idea. Plants metaphors, here I come.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

[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.

My mom's a big gardener too. And, Cash, she also says if you hear anymore from Crazy Hair Mom, F-bombs are appropriate(bearing in mind we might be secret Danish Emanuels.) But my mom cares about hair a lot and even she thinks CHM is completely off the hook.

Hivemind question:
Does anyone else experience the fear of saying something that could get interpreted wrong or accidentally reveal something about yourself when speaking with people who studied psychology for years and don't know you so well yet you're in some kind of touch with each other? Or is it just me?

Me? Make a Joke To Cut The Tension Girl? With the diagnosis? Oh, just a couple million times. Especially since other people don't make jokes about their mother surviving cancer in order to get run down by a car full of clowns.

Mount Scopus library is sexy, yet simple.
Am I the only one who read that as "Mount Scorpius"? And found the rest of the sentence a little unexpected?
That said, I'm glad you like the library, Shir. It sounds nice.

Our wings are not tired.
Someone is wrong on the Internet. I should just let it go, right?
Well, the correct answer is yes. Hopefully anyone relying on his wrongheadedness will see your cited response and research more before accepting his answer.

You wanna hug it out? {{{Bitches Hug It Out}}} I would have done it sooner, but I wouldn't y'all getting excited. Another thing we've joked about that combines our sick sense of humor and mom's green thumb, when I look at her and just say "hydroponics". We could totally be "Weeds" in real life. But Mom wants to stay a citizen. Dag. I think we are both tough enough to be pot dealers AND put customer relations back in the growth and purchase of cannabis...Mom would totally talk to the pot plants and put "Have a Nice Day" notes in the plastic bags. But, no, I don't even know where that anxiety comes from.

Trust my rage
Well, the correct answer is yes.
Thanks...I sometimes second guess my hesitancy to jump into conflict as some sort of girly weakness/inability to play with the big boys. But in this case, I know I'm right, cited my response, and I think the right next step is to just let it go.
