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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm so sorry Daisy Jane, that's awful. My condolences.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
in more pleasant news, a friend and i are tentatively planning a trip to new orleans sometimes this spring. right now we're in the investigatory/planning phase wondering if we should budget for 3 or 4 days. Neither of us has ever been to Louisiana before, the idea is to try and make it before it gets oppressively hot (but it's still a few weeks until we have our shift sign up and vacation bids at work, so we don't even know yet what our days off will be) and spend a few days touring the city, seeing some of the cemetaries and maybe doing some ghost tours. No Mardi Gras, no wild partying. Staying in the French Quarter sounds like a nice idea. Hints from nawlins-istas?

I prefer to stay in the Marigny, which is the next neighborhood over from the Quarter and has many lovely B&Bs.
You can get up in the morning and walk through the Quarter in the morning before it gets crowded and then head on out to explore the Garden district, or Magazine Street or Riverbend from there.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am running on fumes, as I got up at 4:30 to drive my mom to the airport. It was great having her here, but she is 82 now and needs a LOT of care. Luckily, her problems are all with sight and balance and her mind is sharp as a tack. It will be nice to walk at a normal speed and without someone clutching at my arm with a kung-fu grip. That woman can GRAB, I tell you what. We gave her a lovely 11 days, though, and she needed it after a tough year, so I am happy.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
If you're not really looking to party, you might want to skip the quarter and stay in the Garden District.

I'm so sorry, amyth.
That just doesn't happen though right?
I'm sorry for your loss, DJ.
Sadly, it does just happen, but it's so unsettling in a younger person. Viral pneumonia often just seems like a bad cold or the flu. My ex's favorite cousin was in her late 30s when she died alone in her apartment, and autopsy was inconclusive. A local radio personality recently collapsed and died at age 43 from a heart attack from undiagnosed high blood pressure.
