I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

but there's an age gap of about 20 years.

Are you too old for her or is she too young for you? I mean, do you know she doesn't date women your age?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Actually I don't know that. I'd be surprised if she isn't shocked when she finds out how old I really am. I don't have a problem with people dating outside their age range but 20 years feels like an awfully big gap. On the other hand, asking is free.

Heh. This made me laugh, because at work this week I started threatening a couple of the teachers that I was going to start charging to answer their questions...that they'd used up all those stored in their question bank.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

can it not be argued that Israel would never have happened (or at least, not in the time frame it did), if it were not for the Holocaust?

It's a fair, reasonable statement. It still didn't make the holocaust easier to digestion.

I'd hate if someone else decided that they knew what age ranges I dated within. I have so many other reasons to turn guys down for...age is really really unlikely to be a factor, if they're legal and can keep up with me (so not an issue these migraine-stricken days).

OMG I am so tired I want to punch someone in the face and I now have a rehearsal dinner and family time to look forward to!

ugh Nora. I wish I had more helpful advice than what got me through my wedding which is: mimosas!

It will be a contained group of family, but I have some responsibilities and stuff to pay attention to, plus socializing and talking about living in New Orleans and I am just so tired. I got up at 4:15 this morning- thankfully all went well, travel-wise, but I am just wiped.

Ah well. I will have a cocktail or three and that'll perk me right up.

Tell me to stop checking my work email.

I just got an email from one of our new teachers telling me that she's still having trouble with not getting all of her emails in gmail--that some of her new emails are going straight to her sent folder.

We went through this EXTENSIVELY last week. They are not going to her sent folder. She is unfamiliar with conversations, so she doesn't scroll back up after replying to a message in a conversation to see if there are other emails that still need response (she sent out several mass-emails that are getting multiple responses).

I am patient, but I am not a saint.

Can she change her settings so that the emails aren't displayed as conversations, vw?
