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.

Happy to help. I'll e-mail you a list of places we recommend eating at, when I'm home and recovered from the jet lag. I found it very easy to make reservations online ahead of time, if you're interested in doing that kind of thing.

I just checked--the Regency is fully booked for June and July, it looks like.

Kathy, I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't have any trouble booking at the last minute, but I guess October is easier.

Wee--I just had to open up my room options, and there are rooms available! So, a "club twin" is different than a "regency twin" how?
ETA: my sister warned me that the terminology for British hotel rooms is very confusing--she was right!

I have no idea. I found their website confusing and ended up e-mailing them to book because they do have a breakfast included option that I could not find on their website.

Because of that! Those things affect you too, and people you care about.
It kills me how we have this instinct to feel guilty when we're treated decently, instead of just outraged that it's not the norm. (Or the uglier side of that coin, that we/someone should feel grateful and not make waves.) Ugh. I haven't figured out a way to excise those reactions from my psyche.
You are right, brenda. It absolutely should be the norm. And I get angry when I think about what I get paid to do my silly job in relation to teachers and others whose jobs are so important to society. It sucks that we often have to make a choice between doing an important job that we are passionate about or making enough money to live comfortably. Ugh.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Also another way to look at it is the system of big business sucks. Does not mean there are not big businesses who try to be decent within it, but the power imbalance inherent in the system, along with profit as the top priority means it will never be the majority of big businesses. Even those who try not to be evil will fail on occasion if they survive long enough and grow big enough. We need a structural change.
