It has to do with the first name of my pen name. And the fact that my new website features it prominently. And there's another writer with the same first name who has taken umbrage. And is tossing around words like trademark and infringement and the like because she's an attorney and thinks that's gonna scare me.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

[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.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Barb, go medieval on her ass!
ION- it looks like the economy is causing changes in my pension plan. It seems they are pulling another 2.5% out of our paycheck to keep the pension fund solvent. Which means 2.5% cut in take home.

So, since when are UPS and USPS working together?
USPS has to go to all the houses, UPS can be picky.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds utterly insane, Barb. I hope it isn't too much of a nuisance.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Barb that`s ridiculous. And it`s not like that name just belongs to one person. Plus, it`s YOUR NAME!
UPS/USPS causes me problems. I need to be able to specify which one, because obviously only USPS can go to my post office box, but also only UPS/Fedex can go to my street address. I`m so rural that the post office won`t deliver to me. And I`m paranoid enough that I quit fighting for it at some point, figuring that`s one less database I`ll be in. Google maps knows where I am, though.

I'm getting the pig!
Well, yes, because there's never been a single author out there that shared a first name with another author. WTF?
Aimee, I hope your co-leader accepted your apology.
Yay for Drew being home, where he belongs. Now heal, damn it.

Hasn't she tried to fuck with you before?
Ass her in the ear.

Yes she has.
Ass her in the ear.
I was entertaining visions of rusty chainsaws, sans lube, in unmentionable places.
Sideways.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
No shit, Barb. Fuck that noise. It's a name -- your LEGAL name.
What a bitch.
Google-fu! Found her! Take her single-rose posin' ass DOWN.

Um, this. Exactly. WTF, lady? Also, it's not like you haven't ALREADY BEEN PUBLISHED UNDER THAT NAME. You ...can't... cease and desist using it. Duh.
