Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

Tara ,'Get It Done'


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.

The status is NOT quo.

~2K to fix a door? MOG, Pix.

Yeah, that was pretty much my feeling about it. Apparently the door skin by itself is $450; a completely new door is around $850. That's BEFORE labor and any other bits and pieces the repair needs.

Thanks for the words of comfort. So bummed.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Good lord, Pix. Sorry about the crap day and crappier bill.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Oh, man. That is of the suck, Pix.

not your mom's socks.

I'm sorry about the truck Pix. I've done a similar thing -in front of my grad students in the U parking lot- it sucks initially and then it sucks some more.

I'm hoping your day gets better immediately.

Thanks for the ~ma guys. Diagnosis inconclusive, more appointments and a general hope it's just a pinched nerve.

Do you know of any body shops that will pull a door from a junked car, Pix? Did you tell the body shops that you're paying for it, not insurance? Body shops often have double secret rates for that.

Ginger, they said they could look into that but that it might be 2-3 weeks before they found something that works, and ND uses the truck pretty regularly for business. Right now since the door opens and closes he wants me to wait until he can take a look at it.

optimal time period for making it look like zombies attacked the truck?

eta: ok yeah, dumb.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Wanted to post it in COMM, but I then I thought it might be a cultural thing.

That particular sentence was meant for amusing self-geek-deprecation, so COMM away.

{{{{{Pix}}}}} the damage to the truck does suck. And I'm sorry that going to the ob/gyn is so hard, too.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh, Pix. What an awful day. I am so sorry.
