More snow! After London, where it almost never snows, this is all quite exciting.
It's all fun & games until you hear The White Witch's sleigh bells!

[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.

More snow! After London, where it almost never snows, this is all quite exciting.But... but... every production of A CHRISTMAS CAROL, we have a ton of snow falling in the show. Especially the "Turkey Boy" scene. :: shocked ::
P-C, maybe you should start a website intro service for Indian-Americans. An okcupid type of thing, but with all the particular nuances that Indian families are looking for.

Most London folk in my Twitter stream seem happy about it. Folk in other parts of the UK are less enchanted.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Heh. Londoners don't see it as much. Adventure vs inconvenience. London will start hating the disruption soon enough. Why, why are we surprised *every winter* by the appearance of snow? "It never happens here" is sounding a bit hollow. (Yes, East Midlands Trains, I'm looking at you.)

I think Dickens was writing during the mini-ice age. [link] So a snowy London might have been pretty spot on.

P-C, the buffistas are wise. I hope it helps at least a little.
Seska, where are you and TG living now. I'm starting to plan our big trip to England in May and I definitely want to see both of you.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Polter, your parents' Guilt-Fu is strong. I hope you're not taking it to heart.
If you've never had a relationship before and you don't feel ready for marriage, you're probably not. I think it's unlikely that your parents will ever understand what this means. Am I correct in assuming that their marriage was arranged, the same way they're trying to do for you?
You're right that you should stop resenting the potential future wives on principle, though. It would probably make the inevitable meetings easier to deal with. After all, it's really your parents and this unpleasant process that you resent, not the girls that are being tossed at you (some of whom probably feel pretty resentful, too).
I wish there were an easy way to solve this problem, but there isn't.
