smonster, good luck with figuring out the $
Thanks. I will figure this all out, and I will increase my income, and I will pay off my debt, and I will save for retirement. It's just exhausting at times.
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

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.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Epic, do you think he'll do well as Sherlock Holmes? And how weird is it that both of them are contemporary TV Sherlocks?
I just had that epiphany about both of them being Sherlock last night too!
Honestly, I would say I'm much more concerned about the material than him. He had amazing physicality that I never would have expected from him and really inhabited the creature. So, I'd say it's the writing that I'm worried will suck, not him.

Our wings are not tired
But if I have kids, no great-grandparents for them, and given that my dad turns 72 today (and is not in great shape) who knows if they'd even know their grandfather? Sad.
I barely knew 3 of my 4 grandparents and my dad died before Kristin and I even got engaged. I am glad that he did meet her many times and she met him. I know they honestly liked each other and that he would have been thrilled we ended up getting married.

hah! when I was in San Francisco I kept seeing these beautiful flowers - I'd never seen them before. I'd asked David what they were, but he didn't have an answer. Turns out they're brugmansia.

Either brugmansia or datura, otherwise known as Angel's Trumpet. Hallucinogenic and very poisonous.

Okay, I applied for a balance transfer card, got the ladder from my neighbors, changed a lightbulb, hung up my smoke/CO2 alarm, researched coupon sites, updated my budget software, scooped tub at pans, washed some dishes, and deposited a check. I have earned my alcohol and sushi.

I'd known that datura is dangerous, although I'd never seen it in person. These I'm assuming are the less dangerous brugmansia; my boss, who's an avid gardener, says that their trumpets point down, datura flowers point up.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Yeah, datura is one of those mysterious poisons that seem to show up in mid-century mystery novels.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I grew up thinking datura were ground plants in the desert. Flowers look like that but up. And on a ground plant. But, yes, not a safe thing. And clearly there are different kinds of datura now that I look.

I always pictured datura as looking more like morning glories or bindweed.
