Oh my god THEY HAVE A CHERRY CORSET
You really are obliged to get that.

[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.
Hey Calli, maybe we could work a deal on corsets. I'm sure I can find two...

Mmmmm, it is tempting, smonster. But I'm kinda holding off on impulse spending until I see if what happens to my job after next week.

bless my mother's sweet heart. She's on a church (methodist) trip in Isreal and communicating solely via text msg. She keep saying she's never texted before, tho that is mostly how we communicated in Canada 2 years ago. Her texting seems to already be more advanced than mine. Today i get a msg ending with "Saw a nice Jerusalem X I'd lik 2 get u, wud u lik 1?"
Is she threatening to buy me a cross? Is that normal?

not your mom's socks.
erin - yes, I'm pretty sure that's exactly what she's texting. Jerusalem crosses are a little different design: [link] so not your traditional cross. And yeah, if she's on a church trip, that's fairly normal. My Grandmother In Law (who is kick-ass awesome) still wears hers from her church trip/pilgrimage.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I just lost (by which I mean misplaced for less than an hour but megastressy) my wallet for the second time in fourteen hours.
Last night was in PDX airport after landing and trying to buy some tote bags for my stepmom (she liked the one I picked up on my way out of town and wanted a few for a charity she helps out). It was in the sleeve I use for my tablet. Which I'd set aside and I am so glad it wasn't stolen.;l.
This time I was at Safeway's checkout when I realized. And had only left it at home.
But, wow, time for me to do NOTHING outside the house tomorrow. Maybe my brain will come home if I stay put.

She is, I think.

I've lost my wallet twice in the last year. Both times i turned the house upside down, certain the cats were to blame. Both times i eventually checked at the store where i had last been grocery shopping...and both times it was waiting for me at customer service, fully intact. I am very fortunate.

Eeek, Calli, is this b/c of the potential gov't shutdown, or something else?

The very nice checker held my groceries while I quickly traced the store where I'd wandered almost the entire thing and then drove home with fingers crossed. He kept them at his checkstand until I came back.
When I thanked him, he said, "Well, I knew you were coming back." So I am really kinda glad I did. I was tempted but it's nice to know that you weren't the person who caused someone else to lose faith in humanity that day.
And it's really nice to get home and find your little wallet sleeve thing with your license, bank card and insurance information. Because replacing those would stink.
I also reassembled my purse because I don't tend to lose that the same way. I am used to carrying a purse. A purse holds my mini-wallet sleeve thing, cash, keys, phone and (important!) lipstick. With me only having to pay attention to the purse.
Purse, I love you, purse. Or, at least, I don't have near meltdowns in public when I use one. Which is also love.
