Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

Closed Threads

[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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Please excuse my laundry list of accomplishments for the day, it helps me feel better. Since getting up at noon, I have:

  • swept the whole house
  • found places to hang a couple of things (including the beautiful tile bonny gave me, yay!)
  • cleared off my dresser
  • sorted papers
  • mailed off two checks
  • cleaned doors and mirrors with microfiber cloth
  • updated to-do lists
  • put random bits of clutter away.

I have not revised my resume for the carpentry job yet - getting that out is my goal for tonight, that and getting everything ready to go to the DMV tomorrow.

Go, smonster!

I really need to get started on the culling and packing thing. Mom was here today. So I did some errands with her and then made a ton of phone calls. There are still more calls to be made tomorrow and more errands as well.

We need some home improvement advice. How the hell do you remove those plastic anchors in the wall that hold in screws?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

We usually just spackled over them, but I'm sure that's not the right answer, just the "make it look halfway decent in a weekend" answer.

I was social today. I went to a Young Professionals happy hour, and I talked to people! People I didn't already know! One person, on hearing that I'm 31: "Oh, so you're, like, a REAL adult."

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

My method is flat head screwdriver, pliers and profanity. I pry up one of the edges with a screwdriver and pull it out with pliers. Probably someone else has a better way. If it leaves a big hole, there are repair kits like this. [link] Also, I love the pink spackle that turns white.

Also, as Hil says, you can spackle over them, particularly if you use a hammer and some kind of hole punch (or abuse a Phillips head screwdriver) to drive it into the wall a little further. I've done that with some that no amount of profanity worked on.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

If there's an edge, you can pull them out. No edge, push the plastic sleeve into the wall.

Thanks for the advice. The internet says cut off the head with a blade and spackle over them.

Thrive to spite them

I had a one day temp thing that has now turned into a two day temp thing!

Also had dinner with Will and his boys. It was a nice dinner and we ended up sitting at the table for about an hour after dinner talking. Mostly trying to explain how Dungeons & Dragons and Shadowrun work. He's never played tabletop RPGs, just video games and board games.

I told him next time he was up we'd watch the D & D Community episode.

I don't remember how the conversation started, but Will's boys have been trying to get people to play Shadowrun (not in person, online live chatting).

At times I have more in common with his boys than I do with Will but it all works out.

Yay!

I applied to be interviewed at a local university. I didn't even get selected to be interviewed, which I knew was likely since I'm not suitable for the departments that are hiring. Still, it stings a bit.
