smonster needs a transporter.
Or a time-turner. Or some more brain cells. But I've settled for animal crackers dipped in Nutella.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

We also say "gumband" for "rubberband" which my from-elsewhere spouse can't get over.
And yeah, I shouldn't call the dropped infinitives wrong, but they are certainly non-standard.
ETA: And we use the word "nebby" for somebody who is nosy; I didn't know that wasn't common till about 3 years ago.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've seen the beer samplers like Jess's picture, but I haven't seen them called flights. It wouldn't surprise me, though.
I'm gonna guess it's like flights of stairs, things grouped together, rather than flying.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Hil, that's a tv format. I'm guessing the remote button got squished on the button that toggles 4:3 and 16:9.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
So, recipes. Laurie Colwin's creamed spinach is here: [link]
Only change I'd suggest is to *either* use pepperjack cheese *or* monterrey jack + jalapenos. (The original recipe is monterrey jack + jarred jalapenos, I usually use pepperjack as a shortcut.)
The mac & cheese I usually make is here.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Gah. My hand slipped while I was putting Orajel on my wisdom tooth, and I ended up numbing most of my mouth. This feels really weird and wrong.

New thread! And baby girl! And Barb's birthday! Hurray!
Just one quick comment on the childbirth thing--I'll likely never experience it myself, but I was my friend K's sole birthing coach when I was 21, and it was a truly awe-inspiring, life-changing event for me. I will always be grateful I got to experience it. (Wasn't pretty or pain-free, but it sure was incredible.)

Good news: I may get to tear up the leave slip I was going to turn in for 5 hrs of vacation this Friday.
Bad news: This means I'm still at work.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
In re Laurie Colwin - I remember reading something of hers in which she wrote about being a student at Columbia (Barnard?) during the 1960s riots. While everyone else was making signs, making speeches, sitting in, she was making tuna sandwiches for them. And reading the wedding and engagement notices in the NY Times. (The others had the news sections and were reading their coverage.)
And, yes, Happy All the Time is a delight.
