Dear Mother,
"I'm thinking of picking up an extra bottle of wine after work" is not, in fact, an appropriate response to the news that you're in the mandatory evacuation zone. It is, more or less, a Patsy and Edina response.
Kisses, Saffy
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Damn, why isn't AbFab on streaming?!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"I'm thinking of picking up an extra bottle of wine after work" is not, in fact, an appropriate response to the news that you're in the mandatory evacuation zone.
Pfft. Having grown up in South Florida where Hurricane parties were common, I think that's a perfectly sane response.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Wine will be potable even if the water isn't.
ETA: Sorry, you have to be worried about your mater and that was a rather flippant comment. I hope no matter what happens, she stays safe, and that loss of life and homes is minimal for all involved.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My mother is actually leaving NY early because of the hurricane. Normally she travels to them, not away.

No worries, Andi - I'm 90% amused as hell, and the other 10% is mostly thinking they'll be more inconvenienced than they seem to be planning for. I'd be surprised at actual harm to the de-luxe apartment in the sky, but I'm still @@

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It looks like a lot of people have the same idea: [link]

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I wish I could get Good Night Irene out of my head.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Don't you have special nail polish spreadsheets?
I have a spreadsheet of gluten-free recipes that I've bookmarked. I ought to just make those into PDFs, and will at some point, but it's useful to just look at the spreadsheet and know I have a recipe for, say, corn pudding or pumpkin pie (yes, I am already anticipating what I can bring to Thanksgiving to ensure that I get to eat more than dry turkey and olives).
Relatedly, I am going to make cookies right now.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I remember being caught in a blizzard in Tennessee some (lots) years back and being shocked that the bars were closed.
