[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.

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
Want to hear weird synchronicity? In college, my roommate and I had a wee cactus we named Toke, and a fern named Chloe. And then 15 years later, I fell in love with a man with a cat named Toke and a dog named Chloe. Weiiiiiiiiird stuff, man. I told my roommate, and she said that we conjured him up. Which is entirely possible.
I once conjured an Equadoran!
BitD when I was doing standup I had a joke along the lines of, "they say there's somebody for everybody, but with my luck he's 12 years old and living in Equador."
LO AND BEHOLD, several years later, I'm having a romance with a dude... you guessed it. Amazing.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Wishes of safety for everyone caught in or near the storms. They sound bad.
Travel~ma, askye!
The dog fur dog is brilliant.
I'm definitely in a fibro flare, but my Girl has come home and is making me hot drinks. Which helps immensely. I managed to stand up enough to sing in Maundy Thursday and Good Friday services - I'm not sure I sang all that well, but at least I was there!
Also - there is Doctor Who tonight. I'm like a six-year-old about it. I don't know when this happened, but it's fun.

I'm glad the worst of the weather missed you, Anne.
Toke's a pretty cat.
Has anyone else seen the doritos ad where a guy sucks his coworker's fingers to get the crumbs off? And then rips another coworkers doritos-smeared trousers off to sniff them? And, if so, does anyone else find the ad deeply skeevey?

The good news is that despite the damage, there are no reports of fatalities or even serious injuries. This had the potential to be really horrific, but there was enough warning for people to get to safety. There were lots and lots of people treated for cuts after the tornado blew in nearly every window at the airport and ripped the roof off one of the concourses.
The airport has been shut down and they think it may be days before it can re-open. That's the most serious thing that's happened, and it has the potential to foul a lot of things up for a lot of people.
I'm also waiting to hear if anything has happened to my workplace. Nine-story mostly glass building right where one of the tornadoes was reported to do a lot of damage.

Yes and yes.

I'm much the same way!

The news reports from the airport look awful. I hope your building is ok and that you hear soon.
Doritos ad is totally skeevey, but I laughed hard when I saw it. I think that was superbowl day. I don't generally watch live tv so I haven't seen it since.
Doctor Who!

Well, then, dear, you're in the company of a lot of six-year-olds.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I wish I could watch Dr Who pout. I guess I'll have to console myself with seasons 1-4.
Is there a difference between finely diced and minced?

Minced is finer than finely diced. Also, diced implies more uniformity of size than minced.
In other news, the water heater part I need is in-state and on its way to me, despite the airport closure. I felt bad worrying about that when there are other people dealing with much worse fallout from the storm. Still, it will be nice to have hot water back.
