Because she was UK based never heard of Claire Rayner. But she sounds like she was an amazing woman, and chose great last words. [link] "Tell David Cameron that if he screws up my beloved NHS, I'll come back and haunt him". I have a suspicion my last words will be "Oh shit, what a stupid way to ...".
Tara: 'Your One-Stop Spot to Shop for Lots of New-Age and Occult Items.' Catchy. Giles: Think so? Tara: Uh huh. In a... hard to say sorta way.
'Sleeper'
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.

Truckloads of ~ma to you, amyth, and to your family.
Claire Rayner was an absolute legend of a woman.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Yes, I should be in bed. But being the geek I am, I open the copypastecharacter dot com page that was linked here awhile back, and start copying symbols, and adding a dot com and seeing if there is a website. Seems ⁂ has a funny single page site. [link]

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.
Due to clicking on omnis's link, I discovered Google is celebrating the 115th anniversary of the discovery of x-rays.
Much coolness.

Timelies all.
Just skipped and skimmed, and the vegan Thanksgiving conversation now has me earwomed with Dar Willaims' "The Christians and the Pagans."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Liese, was it perchance about my supervisor/trainee ratio (she hopes a little selfishly)? Also, would love to hear more about your training when you have the brane.
Just lost a morning with my trainees due to meeting confusion (not mine) and will be in meetings a good chunk of tomorrow, too. ::sigh::

smonster, I don't have facts&figures for you, but if you are meant to act as a mentor to these people, then 1:5 is really the limit for getting to know them, and for them to get to know you, to develop the trust and respect.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Much, much ~ma, amyth.
Claire Raynor was tops.
Your comments policy sounds awesome, Shir!
After a tough weekend thinking it through (and also enjoying the company of my dad, not-stepmother and their hearing dog), I've just asked to go part-time at uni. (I say asked. I sent a clearly-worded e-mail saying that's what is going to happen, with the subtext I WILL SUE THE ARSES OFF YOU IF YOU ARGUE running through it very pointedly.) Mostly I feel relieved and a lot freer. There's residual seriously-pissed-off-ness that disability continues to prevent me from working full-time, but it is what it is. (And there's also the uni's epic support fail making it worse, so it's not like it's just about my crappiness.)
