Beth, thoughts for your neighbours who were attacked, and ~ma for Matt, of any kind that he needs. Mostly, what Typo Boy said.
Saffron: You just had a better hand of cards this time. Mal: It ain't a hand of cards. It's called a life.

[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.

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.
How is Matt doing today, beth?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Much peace and healing for your community, Beth. And I echo the how-is-our-Matt-doing-today question.

Moi aussi, beth.
Okay....in mememe....
HI need help with something actually cheerful -- my poor Buffistas have been having a shitty time of it.
I think most of you know that I will be trying to set myself up this June as an actual, no-shit, website and domain name, business-card, portfolio-havin' independent consultant for writing, editing, research (with small personal strategy and organization sidebars, but that's not the emphasis right now; writing is.)
So -- help me come up with a name?
I want to use Erin Lastname as part of it, definitely; I'm not required to set up as an LLC in KS if I'm using my name, and frankly, I don't plan on having employees; I want my business name to have MINE.
BUT...I have to have a tagline/domain name for my stuff. I don't just want to be ErinLastname.com. Right now, I'm thinking "Erin Lastname: Wordslinger for Hire" but I really want suggestions, feedback, ideas, practical tips. Keep it simple -- Erin Lastname, Freelance Writer, Editor, and Researcher (which I think is kind of boring) or....? What?
I'm planning on having this name on my webpage, business cards and flyers; I'm going to use DreamHost, so I'll need an email address: erin-------@wordslingerforhire.com or something. I'm thinking about using MailChimp, too, but I'm still researching, but this is break, so I want to bust ass on my business plan (I'm not seeking capital or a loan; I just want a business plan, because I AM VIRGO and I think a plan is useful.)
So...all you sexy people out there...ideas? Cautions? Links? Benefit of your experiences? Now the time for me to set my brainstorming out on the community at large, because, frankly, you guys are going to be my best resource.
(You can keep it to thread, but I also welcome emails at profile addy.)
THANKS GUYS!!!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Much healing~ma to Matt (and words cannot express how un-surprised I am at both his heroism and his disregard of his heroism), M and K, A, and all your community.
I think gynos prefer not to do paps and exams because it fucks up the culture.
I just saw my doctor last week under the same circumstances, and she said it's no longer a problem -- the culturing process has changed, and it's pretty good and accurate no matter when in your cycle you are. You want to avoid the part of your cycle when you're physically most sensitive and achy, but that's different for everyone; the test results will be fine no matter when.

Healing~ma for Matt and for Beth's people.

Oh, coolio, JZ; that's good info to share with my girlfriends. We were operating under "Period = no gyno."
Damn, that reminds me of an onerous task for break: calling my gyno and seeing if she take my husband's new insurance plan.
Ok, on it now. No time like the present, right.
