You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

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.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Tons of ~ma heading towards Pasadena. May the docs figure it out quickly, may their hands work with skill and precision in fixing the problem, and may the pain subside.

Equal tons heading to NY Sloan Kettering. Not the type of Buffista party any of us would have in mind.

P-C, amazing. You. Are. Amazing. It's good to hear your sister was trying to be a moderator. I sense that means she's more likely to see the writing on the wall, and sympathizes with her brothers. Alas, living under the roof of your parents does make it difficult.

wrt to cleaning books. I think I found one for my Mother. [link] She is queen of clutter. So bad, last time I went down to visit her, we didn't make it past the rec room in the lobby. Her apartment was too messy to invite me up. My place is ok, some clutter areas, but plenty of open spaces, and a living room that folks can gather in. She was amazed at how immaculate my apartment was when she visited. Even if you remove some of the exaggerated mother factor, it still points at how messy her place has to be. Of course, that got her wanting to get more stuff for the apartment "because it's so sparse". Um. Yeah Mom, that's the idea.

ION - I was going to head down to work today. But am waiting on the apartment maintenance guy. In theory, he will fix my dishwasher (again). But couldn't give a firm time. Or an eta time. Just "this afternoon". Ugg. Hate that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Our wings are not tired.

Adding to Omnis's book suggestion: [link]

I like the way the book addresses sentimentality. It really helped me get things out of boxes in the garage and either up on my walls or off to Goodwill. We do not honor objects, or our memories of them, but having them hidden. That was so important for me to understand.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

ND, I hope you get a solid diagnosis and treatment plan soon. I am sorry you are in such pain. Pix, my thoughts are with you as well. It's hard to have loved ones in pain and be unable to fix it.

Trudy, we will bombard S-K with ~ma, yes we well.

Weird, I have a bite that doesn't itch. I don't recall ever having a bite that doesn't itch.

They just wonder what they did wrong.

I truly feel sorry for them. You and your brother (and, I imagine, your sister) are a parent's DREAM. No joke.

While I feel very sad for the way that P-C and BroCow are being treated, I can understand how his parents aren't happy. They are dream children for parents in an purely American culture, yes. And that is absolutely where they chose to raise their kids. But clearly their Indian culture is still very strong and very important to them. And these kids? Are not following those rules.

I just think it's a complicated situation. While fully supporting their right to find mates of their own, I see where this is inevitably going to lead to extreme and possibly unworkable conflict.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Hey, look! I finished our bathroom!! [link]

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Ooh, nice, Aims.

I just found a pack of pictures at IKEA that I really want for my bathroom, [link] but the nearest IKEA is in Pittsburgh, and there isn't anything else I need in Pittsburgh, and I am so not driving there just to get a $5 package of rubber duckie pictures.

Hil, send me your address and I can see if my local IKEA has them. I need to replace a plant anyway. I won't even attempt to go there over the weekend but next week I can.

Fo, lo, those cards come in a totally flat pack that has cardboard in it. I can toss them in an envelope and mail them sans ever seeing people or a Post Office. They are mailboxable.

I really really really want to watch season 2 of Veronica Mars. But Joe is not home. And that would be mean of me to do.
