Inara ,'Serenity'
[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.
Lots and lots of ~ma for Nora and Tom and their parents.
May his new nickname remain I. P. Freely.
Hear, hear.
veterinary~ma for Dean (and I don't think it is selfish to wish for affordable treatments).
Maria, I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you.
Much anti-pain~ma for Pix, Teppy, Hil, and anyone else I'm forgetting.
Jilli, job~ma (including feeling enough better that it is effortless for you to put your best foot forward).
Huh. So, we just had an earthquake here (central NC). That was unexpected.
We had a little one here, too (DC). I've never seen the rest of the staff panic like that ....
Hey cool. well, I would think it was cool. Are you more excited or nervous?
Wow! That looks a little scary. I hope everyone is OK.
The building shook, the lights flickered ... and there was this super-fast run for the stairs.
Apparently it was 5.8, centered in VA: [link]
It turns out that when you're going, "Dude, was that just an earthquake? Really?" the best resource to learn more is Felicia Day's tweets.
The new madrid fault is suspected. I didn't know it stretched so far east. It doesn't.
Virginia is classified as a "moderate" seismic risk, and has a 10-20% chance to experience a 4.75 quake every century or so. In quakes above 4.5 on the Richter scale, buildings begin to fall...
I had no idea. Lucky the epicenter was 15 miles from the nearest town.
According to the news, they're closing the Pentagon because of it. People here are reporting they felt it, but I didn't.
Everyone's trying to call family and no one can get through. Our building evacuated, and then everyone came back.
Once things quiet down, the meeting from hell will continue.
