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.

“Not dead yet!”

Aw, Erin, it's so cool to see you excited about M's arrival.

Truly, you are teh bomb.

He's 9 now, and I can TOTALLY see the prepubescent attitude starting to flare up, but he's just testing boundaries, and I actually had a pretty good convo with his mom about it, and we seem to be on the same page about backing each other up when he tried to play the "I can't do this/I always do this" card.

That's huge progress!! And so key, too. Have fun with M!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Yay for M, and yay for Susan Cooper books!

I just disabled my OKC account again. No more skeevy messages with poor spelling, at least I hope for a while!

I DO love him. It's not that total mom-love, you know; we don't see each other too often, but it's love and protectiveness and a desire to see him be happy and learn and be a good person.

I had a question I was going to ask, but then I forgot.

So. Tired.

42 -- the number of hours it will take me to weed my garden the first day it goes below 85.

Oh! Yeah -- do I need to feed my tomato plant special tomato plant food, or will Miracle Grow work fine? I know there's special food for roses and tomatoes.

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

Erin, the answer is 42.

No one in my family understood when I made this reference. I had to text the Niecelet to make sure *she* at least was raised right. She was laughing at me. Cause she Got The Joke.

Fun Math Facts About 42:

Forty-two is a pronic number and an abundant number; its prime factorization 2 · 3 · 7 makes it the second sphenic number and also the second of the form { 2 · 3 · r }. As with all sphenic numbers of this form, the aliquot sum is abundant by 12. 42 is also the second sphenic number to be bracketed by twin primes; 30 is also a pronic number and also rests between two primes. 42 has a 14 member aliquot sequence 42, 54, 66, 78, 90, 144, 259, 45, 33, 15, 9, 4, 3, 1, 0 and is itself part of the aliquot sequence commencing with the first sphenic number 30. Further, 42 is the 10th member of the 3-aliquot tree.

It's the 10th member of the 3-aliquot tree!

I just destroyed my sink disposal. Ah well. I fixed it and then it just broke entirely.
