WS - you did good. I hope you're warm now.
Go Nate!
that's all I've got.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

[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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My mother bought me a hooded sweatshirt (wear them rarely) with the phrase "Michigan isn't for sissies" on it. Said phrase being next to a pretty pretty snowflake.
Can you wear it ironically?
...yeah, I got nothing.
My mother bought Abby a gold locket with a rose & the words "I Love You" engraved on it for Christmas.
In an effort to not live the cliche, I made sure to tell Tim early (and often) that I don't like heart-shaped jewelry, so please just get me something Batman- or grammar-related. I see no point in being one of those couples where the woman whines to her friends about how it's been YEARS, and he STILL doesn't KNOW what kind of jewelry to BUY me, OH MY GOD.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
This is said sweathshirt: [link]
Which, isn't even pictorially grammatically correct. What is actually says is, "Isn't for sissies Michigan."
WHERE IS THE EFFING COMMA? Stupid sweatshirt.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
just get me something Batman- or grammar-related.
Someone should make a Batman necklace with this (Adam West) Batman quote: "Good grammar is essential, Robin."

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Nate was just named student editor of his school newspaper! Remember, this is the kid, who less than two years ago had Ds & Fs
That is wonderful news!
And I approve of the fedora with the "press" card tucked in. I used to rock one of those (the hat was purchased in the beginningish of my Duran phase in seventh grade. I'd say former phase but Duranies are forever. And the student newspaper stuff was all college. They were awesome together.)
WHERE IS THE EFFING COMMA?
Send it to Tep. With a red Sharpie and return postage.

I learned an important lesson, years ago, about educating a partner in re: gifts.
Him: What kind of jewelry do you like and what colors? Me: It's so awesome of you to ask! Well, I don't wear orange or yellow and I don't like expensive jewelry (I might lose it) or necklaces (I really only wear earrings) and, you know, heart shaped stuff isn't really for me. Wow. You are so awesome to ask!
The result: A heart shaped necklace with yellow amber on one side and orange amber on the other, from the Women's Museum, purchased for -gasp- more than $300 dollars.
He was genuinely flummoxed that I didn't like it, and I've never worn it.
Moral: I should have said what I DO like.

He did remember the words you used. Just, you know, wrong.
Yikes.

It sounds like he heard it as "Well, I really like this stuff, but I can't admit I like it because that sounds greedy, so I'll say I don't like it." Or all the specifics got caught in the doggie portion of the brain and he forgot the negative words.

Yep. That's the point. I should have used the words that indicated what I really DO want. He might have had a chance to succeed.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Um, that's an ugly hoodie.
I came back for my hi(s) (how does one pluralize hi?) and squishes! Squishing back! Hi back!
I love jewelry and don't wear it much, but yesterday I wore my bunny necklace Katie made me. Reminded me why I don't wear jewelry much. Kara kept grabbing at it and asking why it wasn't hers.
