It's got high metal fences, individual houses, apartments, a lake and medical facilities. I bet it has an emergency generator.
Go for it, WS. We're watching you.

[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.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Oops, I forgot to say...
Stephanie, it's perfectly normal to be brought down by that and be concerned. I can't tell you how many days I have where I feel hated by the world. Glad you have the Buffistas to tell you how swell you are!

Darn it. Hemoglobin deferral.
ETA: Best test was 12.4, cut off is 12.5. I haven't taken my vitamins (with iron) this week, so ya know, maybe if I actually do take them regularly, next time they are here, I'll be ready for them.

It’s too late to order a proper wedding dress,
A "proper" wedding dress is just a dress that you love and want to get married in! You don't have to go to a bridal store to get one or have a dressmaker make it for you.
What are you thinking you want to wear? Also, when are you getting hitched again?
Also, have you checked out offbeatbride.com? There are million ideas on there for wedding outfits. Possibly too many ideas but I'd be happy to help you look!

Oh, I know, the wedding dress shop was my last stop. I want a white silk dress with a skirt big enough to wear a crinoline under it. But I can't find anything. I just ordered something that Val found for me the other day, but I think it is going to be a size to small. The wedding is November 12th. I know I should have been looking months ago, but my brain was elsewhere.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
At least you tried, Andi.
I hope the wedding dress search becomes more fun and successful soon, sj.
Also, Stephanie is awesome and her neighbors and boss should quit being mean. Buncha jerks.

I'm sorry I'm being so whiny. I just really overdid it today.

I want to say both that that's plenty of time and I totally get the anxiety about it!
We just secured a caterer but we still need to figure out what they will be serving the food on (that is, they just do the food and the service, we need to get/rent cutlery, dishes, glasses etc.). And our thing is less than a month after yours and, gah, so many people.
Anyway, I hope you find something with little pain and that makes you very happy soon!!

sj, I'm sorry your wedding dress hunt is not going as smoothly as you would hope.
