[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.
lisah, you can turn thank you notes into something fun.
After my first marriage, EM and I would go off for a couple hours every Sunday, sit in a cafe in North Beach and write notes while sipping wine or nibbling on treats. We did them all in about three weekends.
It's all about the reward system.
Yeah, I have no problem with the concept of them or anything. It's just a physically awkward task for me and kind of humiliating because I have such a terrible scrawl. But I really do like showing gratitude!
sj, in my office, the employee usually sends one e-mail to the group. So if TCG's office did something that warrants a thank you, TCG should send the e-mail. (Though baked goods are a nice touch, too.)

Okay, I got it. Rubber stamps making a rebus.

They gave us gift certificate for Crate & Barrel, a candle holder, and a cake.
Rubber stamps it is!
Skipping tons to wish my American Buffistae a Happy Thanksgiving! I miss hanging out here with you guys. Hope you have a wonderful holiday!
{{amyth}} I am so sorry. Wishes for comfort and strength to all your brother's loved ones. It is good to hear that SIL has a close family. It helps so much.
Shir! Go you with the making positive changes in the world! It is really inspiring.
Family is about to descend upon me so I may be scarcer than usual.
I have to ask a bit of advice from those of you that suffer from depression. My sister is having a really bad time of it right now. She has had problems with depression for decades, but this is the worst it has been in years. She hasn't even been to work in over a week. My cousin has been staying with her during the day to just be there.
They are messing with her meds trying to help, but it is bad. I think maybe she got out of whack because she has lost about 40 pounds and I am sure that affects the chemistry too. Her place of employment for the past 20 some years was recently sold too so big uncertainty in her life.
I am just feeling so completely helpless to do anything for her. I don't know what to say or do, and really I would do anything if it would help. Any advice would be appreciated.
lisah, while handwritten thank-yous are the ultimate in gracious correspondence, I'm sure both Jilli and Judith Martin would back me up in saying that rather than causing yourself physical pain, a computer-printed personal note slipped into the thank you card would be a perfectly cromulant substitute. I know the last couple of thank you cards I received were done in that fashion, and it made me feel quite thanked.
{{{Laura}}} I don't have any experience with what you're going through but I can offer hugs and I know someone wise will be chiming in soon.
I have succumbed to wakefulness and completed my grocery list but I still don't have to get out of bed for at least 45 minutes.
I'm making the sweet potatoes which are usually cooked in bacon grease vegetarian style this year. I don't think Facon makes its own grease so I'll be experimenting with extra virgin olive oil instead. Crossing my fingers that the dish still turns out om nom nommy since I'm changing it so our sole veggie guest can have some.
