You are a regular person, only nicer. Thanksgiving won't be fun, but if the level of torture rises beyond standard dysfunctional family you have enough in savings to grab a taxi, and take a plane home early. (Where you live is home. Where you are going for Thanksgiving is family, but its not home anymore.) Or move to a motel for the week, and limit your visit to a bearable number of hours per day

[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.

Er if the well-intended bluntness is getting wearing, say so. Don't mean to make this board less than enjoyable.

P-C, good luck with Thanksgiving. Is there a back up plan if things get too difficult at your parents place?

The status is NOT quo.
Oh, bonny, you're having such a tough time. I'm so glad you and Niki have had each other in your lives. Peaceful passing~ma to her, and peace to you.
Bonny, smonster said this earlier, and I just want to echo her good words. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Yay Hil for good review and taking a stance against electronics in class! Yay Barb for snarky-sneaky-sweet interview-age! Yay Omnis for teaching (fuck "instructing") important stuff!

Sean, I'll have you know that I kept breaking into completely inappropriate giggles during yoga because I kept imagining tattooed vajayjays which then led me to the JLove Bedazzled Vajayjay (TM) place, which was Very Bad.

I was able to reschedule my dress fitting today, and I am pleased to announce that my wedding dress is no longer just a bolt of silk on the floor! It isn't nearly complete, but it was nice to see some progress happening.

I half expect her to tattoo (C)(R)(TM) all over her vajayjay next, and then send out a C&D letter to all 3.5 billion women on the planet.
When I saw that posted in COMM, I had to come see what it was about. I was betting it had something to do with Lady Gaga or Christina Aguilera. I was wrong.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Good onya, Barb!
Sean, I'm with you on the commercial-hating, at least the type you mention. Actually I think commercials use some of the most innovative and effective cinematic and editing and CGI out there, and I like those elements. But stupid commercials aimed at stupid people are anger-inducing, and abrade my patience.
Bonny, my deepest wishes for peace and comfort for you.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
So I sent CfCWG (Cute former CoWorker Girl) a text saying "Hope you are staying warm and dry" (she works for the mouse in the park). She responded with a "Ha, I like the rain..." Let's see if that prompts a call when she gets off work.
ION- watching the Yankee game on DVR. I'm craving some of the Butter Pecan ice cream in my freezer. But last time I had a bowl, Texas won! (Pecan tree being the State Tree of Texas). I know the game is already over, and my eating a bowl can not have any effect on it. But. But. It's baseball, which seems to exasperate superstitious behavior.
eta: Crap, Texas just took the lead. See! Even considering the Pecan caused a problem.
