Happy anniversary, Barb!
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

Hey. New board.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just tried signing up to become a bone marrow donor, and the site says that people with chronic back, neck, or hip pain don't qualify to donate. I feel useless. (My little cousin has cancer.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I'm sure someone here is interested in this.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Hil, you are not useless. You are getting the word out! That is HUGE!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I'm also trying to figure out how to pack efficiently for myself. I'm thinking a couple of neutral skirts and shorts, tank tops, and 1 pair of jeans and a hoodie. I am not, nor have I ever been, an efficient packer. I'm reading blogs and columns on how to survive in Europe for a month on two pairs of underwear and a sarong.
Don't include a "Time for some thrillin' heroics" shirt - turns out guns on your shirt, even cartoon guns, make them twitchy. (inside joke that I think only Toddson and Sparky will get)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
When packing for motorcycle trips with very limited cargo space, I have had to learn the value of quick-dry fabrics. Something like this: [link] I wear it all day, then rinse and hang it at the hotel and change into a nicer shirt for dinner. It's dry by the next morning. I can get by for a week with three of these (so I don't have to wash stuff every night), a "nicer" shirt and a sweater or hoodie.

“Not dead yet!”
And thanks some more for the good wishes, all. So far it's been a very low-key ordinary day-- (no extravagant gifts for us since a) we're replacing our deck and b) we're saving for next year which will be HAWAII.)
In different news, I find myself somewhat bemused by the fact that I'm researching hairpieces and extensions so I can do my hair properly for next week's ballroom competition. (And Jilli, my smooth gown is cupcake pink.)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Okay. I tried to make one phone call, it was too late in the day. Made another one, got an unsatisfactory result. Two more to go. Blecch.

Happy anniversary, Barb!
I just wish someone would tell them that it's "Prix fixe" not "Prefix"
I saw a post elsewhere from someone who was knitting a blanket with "Doctor Who motives."
