Hi, Toddson! Good to see your font.

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.
Hey Todd! Welcome back.
SOOOO good to be back!
And I'm sorry to hear about the problems way too many of you have been experiencing. But cute baby pictures have brightened up my day.
In mememe news, I recently bought these boots (for a good deal less than the posted price, thankyouverymuch). Now I'm waiting for it to be cool enough to wear them (that time is getting close - after several days of 70+ degree weather, with rain, it's finally cooling down).
go, Shir. sounds hard but good Oddly, the same for you smonster.
Hoping to hear connie's husband is good.
Jobma for you, beth!
hello my dears! I've spent close to three months on probation at work and have been trying to stay off the internet. But I've been cleared and, since things are kind of slow today, I'm back! I've missed a lot, but it's good to see your pixels again.
TODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!1
tackle hugs Todd
oof! glad to see you too!
Toddson! I had wondered where you were! Great to see you back! And congrats on getting through probation.
Glam, Shane just gets cuter and cuter.
beth, I SO hope you get this.
Todd! Missed you. Glad you're back.
Shanie! GC, that's an adorable monkey you have there.
That's a wonderful story, Windsparrow.
Shir, I know it's difficult, but you're doing valuable work.
I wish Connie would post--if not here then in Beep me.
Shir, I do wish I could read Hebrew. It sounds like you're pioneering the issue of street harassment - and what you experienced is a lot more than harassment - and you're going to run into a lot of what you're experiencing. I know here, where the "hollaback" sites have been in existence for a while and the issue of street harassment has been discussed, there's still a fair amount of denial, minimizing, and so on. Not to discourage you - it's an issue that deserves to be addressed - but a lot of people see it from the point that it's always been this way and if you'd "just" (do whatever they suggest to eliminate the problem) it'd stop. But you know, no matter how you're dressed, how you act, many too many people see the fact of being a woman an open invitation to be harassed (although they don't see it as harassment). Case in point - at a previous job, I frequently worked quite late. Our office was near where there were prostitutes. I'd be bundled up in a winter coat, boots, hat, scarf, standing at a bus stop and I'd get men stopping to ask if I wanted to party ... then yelling obscenities at me when I wasn't for sale (or even rent). It got scary at times - you never know when someone's not going to take that "rejection" as incitement to physically attack you.
