Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Gah, make that two students. Another current student is also a cousin. When the news hit, I had the SO call our former partner to find out who it was, but I didn't recognize the first name. So I thought I didn't know her, which is true, but the rez is such a small world. There's no such thing as "doesn't affect me."

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, Liese, how awful.
Stephanie, your link goes to your friends page, not your post. Which popped up a picture of Jilli, confusingly enough. I clicked around to find the post, but just a heads up on the link. Off to read now.

I found it, I just figured you'd want to edit. Of course I wrote my reply and then forgot to post for an hour because I have skills. Sorry. It's there now.

Trust my rage
Thanks, Cass. The whole thing just gives me a headache. In fact, I'm not asleep at the moment I'm sure because I can't stop thinking about it.
(My phone auto corrected thinking to kinking. I *wish* I was kinking about something.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Liese, that sucks beyond the telling of it.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Egad, Liese. All best wishes for your students.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Checking in again, just quickly. Went to Shanghai Zoo today. especially taken with the Chinese animals, such as the golden snub-nosed monkeys, giant salamander, mandarin ducks, Siberian tiger and Chinese alligators. (China has alligators.) And giant pandas, of course. And, there were plenty of azure-winged magpies flying around.
Dinner tonight with Biyi's relatives (again, and both Ryan and I are about ready for a quiet dinner with just the three of us). Most of it was not relaxing; but the highlight for me was after dinner. Her uncle and cousins got into a heated discussion. Biyi says they weren't arguing, but it sure looked like it to me. (I believe her, but it was indistinguishable.) It looked that way to Ryan too, who watched with growing apprehension as their voices got louder, until he'd had enough and loudly declared, "STOP! ...STOP!" And they did!
I told him afterwards that I was very proud of him.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
ah ... the Power of the Cute!
In the summer, the National Zoo lets the Golden Lion Tamarins loose - they run through the trees and they use various techniques to teach them to survive in the wild; I think they're trying to repopulate them in their original habitat (Brazil?). They have radio collars, so they're not likely to get loose outside the zoo, but it's always fun to see them outside a cage.
