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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Mwahahhaah! Scrappy's email is now MINE, and I will do EEEEVIL things...ok, maybe not. I can't even get up the gumption to do some work, much less heinous evil.
Strix, I facebooked you because I didn't have your email

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
omnis, I'm an independent contractor right now. Plus, have no idea what caused it - no visible punctures or scrapes on that hand at this time.Ugg. Sorry to hear that. Well. Just trying to think of some solution. (and wonders why we, as a nation, are so against single payer healthcare???)

Because someone might get away with something. Somewhere. Somehow.
Puritans hate that.

Bev, I've heard of using a denture-cleaning tablet in water and of rubbing with a baking-soda paste. If it were my silver, I'd probably also try peroxide.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
smonster, glad you were to the ER and glad Nora was there for you. Blood poisoning, holy shit, not good. Also glad you got a doctor who knows her stuff!
Steph, I'm sorry you have a migraine and sorry you have to work anyway!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Me news: I found a gorgeous vintage pot in wonderful shape, and now I'm wondering, does anybody know a good method for removing years of accrued tea stain from silverplate?
I've used a paste made from baking soda and water to clean silver plate, and it worked pretty well.

Glad you have a Dx and an Rx, smonster. Thanks to Nora for taking care of our smonster last night.
Sorry for the tsuris, Strix.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Ginger, what would you think about a vinegar and soda cocktail, to fizz off the, um, rind, of old tea? Would vinegar react badly with the silver?
Hil, I'd be afraid the soda and water paste alone would be too abrasive. I don't know how deep the plating actually is. Which, you know, is why I thought of the vinegar and soda fizz.
Or, I could try the polident trick Ginger suggested.
Thanks, guys!
