[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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Maaaaan, I really do not want to walk around our basement in the dark. But if that's the only way to see if Trin is ignoring the litter box, I guess I have to.

It's like you've watched more than one horror movie.
I could share my friend Sue's Peace Corps stories from Senegal in the late 80s. They're pretty amazing.

Hey, deep in my soul is still a buried archaeologist... who spent a summer digging in a midden and found a lot of coprolites.
Zen, I begin to wonder if we were separated at birth. I spent hte summer before my senior year of high school on a dig in northwestern Pennsylvania, and I still regret not having gone after it as a job. Sure, I'd probably never have gotten a job, but the classes would have made me happy.

Le N - re: diabetes. 1) don't fight the med s-- even if you go off them , you will go back on them . NOT YOUR FAULT. Despite EVERYTHING you read -it is a progressive disease. You can't control it, only influence it. This does not mean give up - because the better you care for yourself, the better you will feel. The better /healthier you are the better you will handle stress - all stress physical and emotion al mess with your blood sugar.
find out what kind of a person you are. some people have to deny food X . others limit . For me, I do best when counting grams of carbohydrates. I find it is easier to say no thanks to really junky food. But I get really tired of counting and can't do it all the time.
Move every day. not mega exercise - but something,the more you move the big muscles the better your body works.
pay attention. My blood sugar get crazy with pizza -- but not as bad if I skip the meat. I know some one else that it doesn't make much difference at all. Everyone is way more different than any book suggests
now, I don't love this disease. But I am healthier now than I was before it. Blood sugar control is awesome - seriously Food used to call to me from miles away ( the only reason that is literal is because food does not have a voice) 98% of the food that I ate, but didn't really enjoy are gone from my diet .
on the other hand I hate asthma

The potato is my worst enemy and greatest weakness. I so adore mashed potatoes, and potatoes love my blood sugar. Dammit.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
What you need to do is get the real estate agent. She should have a key and tell people that if they don't make an appoint, she will simply bring you over. Of course the law varies from state to state, but in Texas that was done all the time when I lived there immediately after the Texas real estate crash.Yeah TB, this is all through my agent. I just wanted to see the damn property. It's in a eh area, and I wanted to see if it was even worth it. They didn't post any pictures in MLS. It's 2 miles from any notable grocery store, and smack dag in the middle of no freeways. So it's far from good location. Which might explain why I can afford it. But I'm getting real close to throwing my hands up and saying screw it! I can't afford housing in SoCal, even in a down market!
Plus, all the BS in Washington right now, makes me wonder if trying to buy a home at this moment is the best of ideas.
But I need to move out of this apartment. Tired of the lack of maintanence the owner approves, and my house filling with bad pot smoke, since the neighbor loves to smoke EVERYWHERE in the building (his porch, which wafts into my apartment. The garage. The lobby. The side door by the elevator, which then wafts up the elevator shaft). Dude! Go somewhere else to smoke!!
sorry. I kinda got ranty there. I don't care if you do pot, I just don't want to smell it. And if I do smell it, please make it the nice smelling pot. Not the skunky crap.

Yeah, your agent if she is any good ought to be able to get you a chance to see the property whether the people in foreclosure want you to or not.

Been doing it for about 5 years now, and surviving in this economy, so I thought she is good. But I dunno. This being my first time, I have nothing to compare it to. But it seems she has created an MLS search in her program, and it flags properties that fit my general guidelines. But no calls of "oh, I hear about this property that is about to be listed" like I recall the agent did when I moved in High School. But that was pre-internet MLS days in the 1980's.
