Shir, your story should be disseminated far and wide to show what one person getting peeved can accomplish.
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.
Please tell me that everything being shut down and gridlocked around here due to the freakish weather isn't A Sign for my book release?
No, it just means that people have time to cuddle up with your book and their hot beverage of choice and bask in its awesomeness.
Wow, I'm thrilled for you. Congratulations! My brother is district Democratic chair again...he says he's going to appoint me as a precinct person. He's impressed by all my phone calls. So, if Alan Grayson is right(Which is a decent position to take in matters outside the sartorial sphere), I'm good with my mom and the Democratic Party, which means I have one friend to make up with. It's a big one, though. God. Can't exactly leave that in a voice mail. (beep) Man, I'm sorry about thinking you don't exist for twelve years...what the hell was I thinking? Of course you have lots of other friends...maybe I should have been more understanding? So, what do we do now, coffee. Up to you. Bye.
Barb, you should not have to feel bad about asking for ~ma for your book's release day. It's your work. People ask here for ~ma for stuff at work all the time. If you are moved to ask for it, then you do not need to compare the importance of your request to the importance of any other request.
Tel Aviv city council member just emailed me about Hollaback Israel, asking to meet with me and talk about how to make the streets of Tel Aviv-Yafo safer to women. With laws and whatnot.
This goes further beyond what I thought it'll be.
That is AWESOME!
Shir, that's incredible!
If you are moved to ask for it, then you do not need to compare the importance of your request to the importance of any other request.
Exactly. If it's important to you, and you'd like some ~ma or other moral support, ask. It's one of the things we're about.
Shir, that is amazing! Good luck with the meeting. Have a list of clearly written ideas readyto go.
