Laura, your weekend with Trudy sounds fabulous. Just hearing about it is making me smile.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

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.

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.

not your mom's socks.
Much peace to you, your mom, and Ray's family Daniel. So sorry for your loss.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I just ordered this rug for the music room/library/guestroom. [link] How can this be a kid's rug? It's AWESOME. T

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm sorry for your loss, Daniel.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
question for the parents of teens: how do you decide which teen drivers your child can accept rides from?
My exstepmother is tearing out her hair. My 14 yo sister is now in high school and has friends with liscenses and cars offering her rides (esp after play practice in the evening.) Of course sister would rather get a ride with a cool junior or senior than wait for mom or stepdad to shuttle her around, but her mom is terrified that all teenagers are terrible drivers (they live in a rural area with poorly maintained roads and there are legitimately a LOT of accidents every year involving teen drivers). She asked me how to "screen" potential drivers. Erm. I have zero idea how parent, esp teens. Any suggestions?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
how do you decide which teen drivers your child can accept rides from?
Good question!
I did a number of stupid things while driving as a teenager. Like getting into high-speed chases with other teens or seeing how fast my parents' '73 Mercury would go (answer: 120 mph). And I knew kids who did much more stupid stuff than I did.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
My parents trusted kids who were good kids. Didn't necessarily mean they were good drivers, but the likelihood is there.

“Not dead yet!”

What state are they in, erin? In some states, drivers under the age of 18 can't drive other minors who aren't family members. Or something to that effect.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
My condolences to you, your mom and Ray's family, DCJ.
