You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

[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.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Hivemind question: If you are sending mail to a married couple who both have PhD's should it go to Dr. FirstName LastName and Dr. FirstName LastName on the envelope?

If they have the same last name, you can address it to "The Doctors LastName". If they have different last names, then you would address it to Dr. FirstName LastName and Dr. FirstName LastName.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I know it's confusing, Seska. I feel like I need a diagram and a pointer. My family tree is all warped by a cousin raised as a brother, fratricide, divorce, and people we don't speak to.

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

If I end up moving to KC, you heard it here first.

Selfishly, I am hoping for this!!

I got my hands on Barb's new book! I will be rewarding myself for doing a lot of housecleaning tomorrow by reading it!!!

My sleep schedule has worked around in its usually way to where I am getting to sleep at about 7 am, but I am being cheerful about it. I get meds refilled on Wed. and am using the quiet time to bake, do laundry, write and other productive things.

And I am hopeful (!) that I may have a job in a few weeks, so that will really help.

Things ain't great, but they ain't bad, either.

Thanks, Vortex. She hyphenates, so I did them separately.

I'm done making labels for tonight. I'm still waiting for several people to get back to me. Tonight TCG's dad and stepmom are taking us out for dinner. The location is a surprise.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I feel like I need a diagram and a pointer. My family tree is all warped by a cousin raised as a brother, fratricide, divorce, and people we don't speak to.

I think that's not that uncommon. My family's fairly straightforward (apart from dozens of cousins on the Irish side!), but The Girl recently discovered an ancient family divorce at her great-grandmother's funeral, and has been learning about additional family members ever since. Random as you like. Family, eh?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Your family sounds fascinating, Ginger. My thoughts to your cousin, it does sound like she has borne an awful lot.

So we had family nail day. I went with the olive, of course, and I love it. Franny chose the 52, which is truly beautiful (purple with blue and green flecks), and Isaac went black on one hand, red on the other.

Now tagless for your comfort.

My eldest sister got the thick, wine-colored red hair along with abundant freckles and green eyes. The second eldest got the lighter, golden red with clear, pale skin and blue eyes. Dad was a carrot top with freckles and blue eyes.

My brown hair has definite red undertones but it's not enough!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I've got the white skin and freckles but my hair is brown. I think ginger's gorgeous and I wish I wish I were.

I keep dyeing my hair reddish, and it only goes...redISH. I keep contemplating going to a hairdresser and saying I want RED RED hair...but then I chicken out. What if it looks awful? What if I like it and then there's tons of upkeep? I hate upkeep.

Try out a color that only lasts 1-2 months

What if I like it and then there's tons of upkeep?

Quit.

I dyed my hair red for years but I haven't lately... although I've been tempted.
