Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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.

Oh, god bless Lortabs when having cramps. I no longer want to curl up under my desk with my pen knife so I can stab at anyone who tries to engage me. Somehow, though, the supervisors are unwilling to pay a tech support person who wants to hide under the desk instead of taking phone calls.

Ohh, Calli, thanks! But Hollaback Israel only operates in Hebrew, in the meantime.

I do have some suggestions, such as this [link] if you'd like. Profile addy is good.

Ugh. I'm sitting in the Burbank airport waiting for my flight and the music they are playing is a bunch of Christian praise songs. Much of it is Christmas music, but not all of it. It is, however, all Christian. Shoot. Me. Now.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Thanks, Shir! That's a good list, and I like the way it removes responsibility from the victim. The resource list we came up with is more focused on domestic violence, though--husbands and lovers beating up their partners. I'm not sure why, as that's not really a focus for my organization. (We usually address gender-based workplace violence, as part of our human resources for health work.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

May I be the first to say, the idea of John McCain having sex is thoroughly ewwwwww.

Now that's a "don't ask, don't tell" policy I'd be happy to support.

In that case, Calli, take a look at that link: [link]

meara, if you peek in here, I emailed you back. Let me know if you don't get it.

Right, the Bell Bajao campaign. Thanks! It's pretty interesting--using community awareness and action to reduce domestic violence.

I'm in Portland for about another 40 minutes. Should be boarding my flight to Seattle in about 15 minutes.
