Well, when put that way, doesn't sound so crazy.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Did a moose bite your sister?
I think in order to save typing, we can just post a code like "247" to mean the same thing as "Did a moose bite your sister?"

Comes to think about it, I have never seen a golf cart IRL. I think. Plenty of motorized carts for the elderly, but not one real golf cart.

Is there a right way to vacuum carpeted stairs? I can't figure out any way except dustbuster, and that seems like it would take forever. Also, how often to vacuum the vertical parts? And where did this urge to put contact paper on all the shelves in my kitchen come from?

Sigh. I was trying to be all "I'm a grown-up, I have my doctorate" and I introduced myself to my students as Dr. LastName. Just got an email from a student who addressed me by my first name, spelled wrong.

Nip that in the bud right now. It's not you, it's them. When you respond to the student, you can say something like "Thanks for your email. In the future, please call me Dr. LastName." and then respond to their issue.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think stairs are a job for a vacuum with a long hose attachment.

People vacuum the vertical parts? Huh.

I don't know. I've never had carpeted stairs before. It seems like dust would get into the carpet there, so they ought to be vacuumed sometimes, I guess.

Yeah, no shit, Dr. Hil. Students need to address you as you prefer. I don't have a doctorate, so I tell my college students they can call me Erin, that's fine.
Had I my doctorate, students would DAMN well call me Dr. G----, until and if I invited them to call me otherwise. You EARNED that honorific, baby.
And my high school students call me Miss or Ms G to this day, even though once they graduated, I invited them to call me Erin. Except for one who called me L.G. through her senior year, for "Lady Ms. G----" and that amused me so much, I was fine with it.
I would no more have called a prof who introduced him or herself as "Dr." by their first names without being invited as I would have set myself on fire. Actually, setting myself on fire was far more likely. I was HONORED when they invited me to call them otherwise, and it was still hard to do.
