Nora, I'm sorry. ~ma to you and your family, with minimal to nonexistent shenanigans, as smonster said cleverly.
Passing~ma to quester's uncle.
Health~ma to Scrappy's DH.
And yay! for the housing, smonster!

[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.

AHAHA I wondered if you'd gone there.
We were subtle! (I think.) It was mostly in the guise of vouching for you. (which there really was NO issue with from Ray's POV.)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Nora, I'm so sorry. May your time go more easily than you expect.
Smonster, yay, NOLA house!
Still sending health-ma to Scrappy's DH.

Thrive to spite them
smonster glad you got such an awesome house!
Nora, I'm sorry about your grandma and upcoming family shenanigans.
Nora, yeah I'm still getting used to the differences in seasons and things, but so far I like everything. Especially having different towns so close by. St Albans is small but it doesn't take that long to get to Burlington or Williston or wherever. My commute when I first started working at the airport took a little bit longer than it takes to get to Burlington.
It also means I have a bigger variety of food and places to eat. There are 2 new food carts on Church St in Burlington - a Turkish tea cart that also serves food and a mashed potato cart. They based it off the mashed potato bars you see at weddings. Only they fry the mashed potatoes up on a grill and mix in the toppings right there.

{{{Nora}}} I'm so sorry for your loss. May the family drama be less dramatic than you expect it to be.

Art Crawl!!!
Is the first (I think it's the first) Ben & Jerry's in the converted gas station still there?
Oh, what memories I have of going there in all sorts of weather for luscious ice cream. Of course, UVM also had a lovely dairy bar with excellent ice cream and lots of other dairy products.
smonster: whoo hoo for NOLA!

Nora, I am so sorry about your grandmother. Peace and strength to you and your family.
smonster, I am DANCING for you! I know you wanted IC or Lower 9th or 7th Ward and I am thrilled for you.
OH LOOK AT HOW CHEAP TIX FROM KC TO NOLA ARE. Hmmm...

Woohoo, smonster! Did you say it has a guest room, too? :)
ION, OW. I woke up feeling like I had an eyelash in my eye, but don't see one, and have put lots of drops in and it still hurts like whoa. GRRR. OW.
