Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

Continuing ~ma, Maria; these are such tough times I wish ~ma was an actual physical resource we could purchase to share around.

Calli, yeah, as much as I want to leave I probably won't for family reasons. My father is 88 and I just wouldn't feel right leaving the state at this point. And his family is known for being long-lived. We have more than one centenarian in the family and any number of nonagenarians. He could be around until I'm ready to retire. So, I'm more planning on where will I retire to in 15 years? The PNW looks better and better every day.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Oh, and so I don't seem like a total loser,

Wait, what? "Loser" and "Maria" do not belong in the same universe, let alone sentence!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sorry, Vortex.

Good luck, vortex! At least you got to have the surgery while employed/insured? And yay phone screen Maria!

I'm in the Bismarck airport an hour ahead of my flight. Hoping that it isn't delayed even though the incoming is--need time to buy dinner in Minneapolis.

Vortex, the only problem with moving out of the area would be leaving your mother behind ... oh, wait ....

While I think the company could be a good fit, I see Vortex as more of a HBIC.

Also, leak is fixed (we hope), celing fan replaced, two doorknobs replaced, and I have permission to buy and install a towel rack and tp holder. Not bad, Ray, not bad! Making up for bad first impressions.
