Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

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.

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!”

She asked me how to "screen" potential drivers. Erm. I have zero idea how parent, esp teens. Any suggestions?

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.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Virginia. IIRC, at age 15 and 6 months after certain classes you can get a learners permit that requires driving with an adult 21 and prohibits driving passengers under 18 who aren't family members, or during certain hours. But after age 16, the test, and a certain number of hours with an adult driver, they can get a full flegded DL w/ no restrictions.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Daniel, condolences to your mom, Ray's family, and you and Windsparrow.

bonny, I don't think I ever actually typed my happy reaction to your news about Niki. Sometimes things just turn out better than we hoped, and I'm glad in your case.

Any news from the eloped Tea Cups today? Are they still honeymooning, or have they returned home?

Take it easy till you feel better, smonster.

Jealous of both Laura and Trudy, but glad both of you got to play in such good company.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm sorry, Daniel. My condolences to you and yours.
