[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.

Here they come, walking down the street, getting funniest looks from everyone they meet...
Ok, really not a monkey (nor a Monkee), but upright walking gorilla? Woah.
DCJ, I'm so sorry to hear about your sciatica. Will you be on bed rest for long?
meara, that is one heck of a night.
Lord, y'all. Out of four FM, one was late for the 4th time in 3 weeks, one has to leave early for his daughter's doctor appt, and one left at ten to go to the ER for a possible miscarriage.
the drama is the work, the drama is the work, the drama is the work...
Strength~ma, smonster. You didn't ask for it, but it's there for you to call on for those around you.
Oh, smonster. Good luck with the drama. So many teachable moments, so little time.
Good luck, smonster.
the drama is the work, the drama is the work, the drama is the work...
I second WindSparrow's strength booster, smonster. You don't need it, but it's there for you.
The thing I love about Frank McCort's book Teacher Man and the way Cesar Millan works with biting dogs is that each embraces the reality that drama is when stuff really changes.
Bless your heart and the work you do.
amyth, I am so sorry for the pain. Please know my thoughts are with you.
dcj, back pain is just awful. I hope you find relief soon.
I have to trek out to my car and get my bag with all the papers to grade in it.
I think I'll salt the stairs and walk again. I know I'll have to shovel tomorrow, but maybe DH won't kill himself getting into the house today, and there'll be a little less snow to shovel tomorrow.
Maybe.
I think I may park in front of the TV with a cup of hot chocolate and watch episodes of Clean House while grading papers.
