Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

[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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Cute! Also, huh, snow.

It's 80 something here and I put on the AC today.

Dang. It was 30-some degrees and crazy windy that day. Dogs could give a rat's ass, but I was frozen.

Cannot wait for warm weather to come back.

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.

After the March (25 years ago...more like a lifetime) they turned much, much greener.

Walked off a lot of anger? I'm glad that you were able to get free of it. And I'm glad for my friend's sake that he managed to make a better life for himself. It just tickles me to see pictures of him with his kids, and hear, well read, how much he loves his wife.

Compassionately intolerant

Walked off a lot of anger?

Quite literally. Or, is that actually?

Anyhoo. Yep.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

People with hazel eyes, does the brown or green become more ascendant depending things like mood?

I have blue-green eyes, that change based on mood, clothing, and something else that is longer term. When I was a kid, they were mostly blue. When I was in high school and college, they were mostly green. Now they're most blue again.

Also, yeah Barb! That is so cool.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I have always had a speck of brown in one eye; it's bigger, but my medium blue are are a lot more greeny-blue than they were 20 years ago.

I went out to a friend's 40th bday party, had some margaritas, sat outside, watched the sun set. Low 70's till the sun set, but still nice out.

Good evening.

Guys, I've lost like 12 pounds since January! From working really hard; I haven't done anything! I have a waist again -- it's very dippy. I love my dippy waist. Thatsa a nice curve.

sj, I would love if you sent me info on arm exercises. Thank you!

I am home from PDX. I brought a Cass with me, because we have another MCR show tomorrow night.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Since moving to New Orleans, I've noticed that many African Americans are suspicious at best of dogs they don't know to downright frightened. I don't know if the catering person was white, black, asian, hispanic,none of the above, all of the above, but it's possible there was some of that in the mix. Or not. I don't know.

I can't really speak to whatever cultural implications are in play, as I'm not in the situation, but it is something I've noticed over the past year. Correlation is not causation, of course.

People with hazel eyes, does the brown or green become more ascendant depending things like mood?

I've always believed it was a matter of lighting more than anything else. But what color you wear does sometimes seem to "bring the color out".

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I may change my mind, but as long as I don't have to remove snow I think I'll like winter better than weeks on end with the heat index in the 100s and high humidity.

I find this to be imminently true. Not having to drive makes it even better -- you won't have a subway, but shoot for a short commute!

Bear in mind that Australian possums are not closely related to New World opossums. They're more closely related to kangaroos. (See, for instance, the pic on this page: [link] This is a brushtail, the species that was introduced into NZ.)

For starts, they're not evil.

What helps me a lot with packing for trips is to continually remind myself that if I forget anything it will not be the end of the world. I can buy stuff wherever I'm going if I need to (camping and backpacking is different of course, but I am semi-professionally trained for that and it doesn't stress me out).

My sister applies this technique liberally. "We're going to ______, not Turkish prison."

I'm a proudly light packer, but in recent years I've had to bring lots of shoes when I go to shows because my feet would get bigger each night. By night four of a festival I'd be in shoes two sizes larger than normal. BUT NO MORE OF THAT!!!!!

sj - it's tree nuts, too. So we'll be marching the Other Protein Train

There is Soy Nut Butter, don't know if it's any good. [link] And there is always creamchees and jelly mmmmmm.

Guys, I've lost like 12 pounds since January! From working really hard; I haven't done anything! I have a waist again -- it's very dippy. I love my dippy waist. Thatsa a nice curve.

I love your dippy waist too!!!!

I've dropped 10-15* lbs. since I got home from Florida (so that's the weight I put on there and a bit more) and my waist is back too!!!!

* Will I EVER have juse one weight? I suspect it will always be a range. Like, in the course of a week. Oy.
