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.

Shir! It's great to see you. The Affordable Health Care act was ruled Constitutional. We're happy.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yipes Vortex, so glad you are OK. How scary!

I also want to say congrats to o_a on impending home ownership. May it treat you well!

And Aimee, that Greek quinoa sounds delicious. I will probably crib that recipe.

We had a rough morning. But now the sitter is here so I will probably skedaddle for a couple hours. And then stretch class tonight and maybe go to the pool with the kids after dinner.

Ooh! Yes, it even reached our news. Congrats!

Wish you a better day from here on, Burrell.

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 am sorry about the bad, Strix.

I think I'm facing (or trying not to face) that my dad isn't doing well. I'm saying it out loud when I need to run for an hour or two so I can't just delete it.

Very happy about this. It's like we want to be a civilized country or something.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Strix, I'm so sorry you're having a rough time. Miss you, hon. Wish I could come visit.

SHIR!! OMG HI.

Cass, I'm so sorry. I wish it weren't so.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Cass, I'm so sorry.

can only say that I hope having us here to say the kinds of things you can't say out loud is as much a refuge for you as it was for me.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

:: tackle hugs Shir!! :: Welcome Home Shir!! Sad to hear lecture was so bad. But very happy to see your pixels here!

Strix, sorry to hear the injury is giving you the blues. Injuries are always frustrating. But that's what we are here for. Nothing helps you face the world like your invisible friends! But when we visit, some of us will be very particular about the tea, so none of that sipping invisible tea stuff. Post what vexes you. Even if we can't help from across the web, venting helps a ton. Do you have access to software that speak/type? You can always copy/paste into here. Either way, tons of hugs! {{Strix}}

Me? Holding pattern still. Went to Home Depot and grabbed some paint chips. I'm having dinner with M&C tonight. She's a graphics person, so hopefully get some color help. Going for the subtle colors, for the most part. Just one wall in the bedroom will be on the dark side. Trying to be patient!!
