[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.

Barb, she is really bringing crazy to a whole new level.

I am hating everyone today (buffistas not included of course) no one can freakin return a phone call, find a reservation, answer an e-mail, or just generally do what they say they are going to do.

Crazy, barb. Good lord.

Jars, I've done that. Normally I remember soon enough, but one January my landlord did call asking if there was a problem? And I was like "omg, no, I just totally forgot!" luckily it was a private landlord, who was chill about it (and I'd always paid on time before).

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Vortex - insent if you are able.

Yeah, ours is a similar situation, except I was much less truthful and pretended it was a bank error. Everyone hates banks, right?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

You'll be cool, Jars, as long as you have the money, and didn't spend it on hookers and blow. My landlady just tacked on $25 if I was late. Which I was, a few times.And it sucked.

Barb, I hope you include some legalese in your reply that details EXACTLY how she cannot use her name or marketing in any YA market, as OBVIOUSLY this is your market, and it might confuse your sorry little readers headses, and impinge on your marketability and sales.

Ugh.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

am i a crazy dirty hippie if i want to attempt vanquishing shampoo from my life? I stumbled upon a long hair board with all kinds of info on conditioner-only and water-only methods which sounds like heaven to my long hair that is always dry and brittle on the ends but luxuriously oily at the roots. Hrm, might need to invest in more hats for adjustment months.

Aims, reviewing now, but on the phone with my mother, so can't give it my full attention for a minute.

Erin, I hear good things about dry shampoo. And there are many websites and articles about the "no poo" lifestyle.

“Not dead yet!”

Erin, you might also want to look into old-fashioned bar shampoos like Liggett's. They're oil based and eliminate the need for conditioner because they leave your hair crazy soft.

Bonus for parents-- they provide a non-toxic alternative if your kids get lice, since they actually kill the live critters. When Abby suffered her first (and hopefully ONLY) bout with the little buggers, we did the toxic treatment the first day, then went to shampooing daily with the Liggett's. Didn't find another live critter on her.
