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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I'm on a plane, Bitches!

God it was hard to leave Frankie.

Oops, time to power down.

I think "I'm sorry Tim and I can't make your wedding" is perfectly proper wording. Miss Manners doesn't tell you that you can't be snide, she just gives you the most genteel way to manage it. It's why I love her so.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

God it was hard to leave Frankie.

This is going to be the hardest thing about going to India for 3 weeks. It is going to be so hard to leave Oz, particularly since he his so people oriented and snuggly. 3 weeks without him licking my feet until he falls asleep or molding himself to my side.

Now I want to run home and snuggle him this instant.

Steph, I think that's perfectly reasonable. I spent almost $1000 going to my friends' wedding this weekend. But, I was lucky enough to have it, and decided that my flat screen TV will end up being a Christmas present to myself, rather than for the new fall season. You make choices, and going to this wedding is not a good choice for you.

God it was hard to leave Frankie.

He'll love you just as much when you get back. For realz.

On the other hand, I couldn't do it! And I, um, haven't. Seriously, I'm so over travel that in the 9 years I've had Bartleby, we've been apart for 10 whole nights.

One of those was in his own home with a friend who assured me they ordered a pizza, tossed back some bears and watched porn.

The other 9 were with a woman who loves him almost as much as I do. So much so that her grown children have photos of Bartleby on display in their homes.

Reminds me, I should give her a call.

Steph, it makes perfect sense that financial stuff would interfere with a cross-country trip to a wedding, all invitation-related issues aside. Money's finite and, sadly, the ability for new expenses to crop up does not seem to be. If I were getting married, having people show from out of state would be a pleasant surprise (aside from my sister, to whom I'd send a plane ticket and who'd probably walk to NC from MI if she had to to see me hitched--but family's different).

I totally cracked up when I read that typo, so decided to leave it.

Yeah, Bartleby might toss a bear...in his dreams. Seriously, he saw a mouse in our house once and scolded ME for not chasing it.

His arch-nemesis kitty sat 6 inches behind him, totally sticking her tongue out at him and he never knew.

My guy is no hunter.

Now a beer, he could totally murder.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Agreed. And I think destination weddings automatically lower expectations, anyway. If you want to do it, great, but you have to expect that fewer people are going to be able to attend because of financial reasons. It's a trade-off.

Heh. Bears.

Byeee, smonster! I HOPE YOU SAW THE PRINCESS.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Ha. Bears. Tossing.

Teppy, don't sweat it. As other said, it's a huge expense. I almost didn't make it to ND & Pix celebration. But did it with FF points, and couch surfing, so my only expense was food and cheap rental car. (thankfully I did the trip too, as I got a last minute job interview at my current job on that trip!)

ION- I left for work 12 minutes early, and arrived 10 minutes late. Gotta love when construction pops up overnight with no warning.
