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.

Ooh, that floor looks nice, omnis.

Cass, I hope you can find a place to donate the TV. Seems a real shame that it's so difficult to give it away.

So it's been the kind of birthday that, in previous years, I would have considered a truly rubbish one. The Girl left for Israel at 8am, I had to work (and I'm still working, although at least I've transferred to bed now), and everyone who isn't my wife seems to have forgotten. But there are many plus points, not least that I like my work, my cats are adorable, and I'm currently drinking a very nice glass of wine (and I might have another one in a minute). Could definitely be worse. Even if I am now very firmly into my mid-thirties.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Happy birthday, Seska. I think being overall happy with your life (wife, work, cats and wine) is a good sign.

Okay, I am starting to plan stuff. Like what doesn't move and is going to be a special PIA. I need to go put away all of my clean clothes and stuff so I can have some space to think. I think I am going to call Purple Heart later and see if I can arrange them to come pick up the big furniture things. I think the dining table, two chairs, old and entertainment center (my tv doesn't fit it now) are going donation.

Happy Birthday, Seska! I'm sorry you aren't having a fun day, but yay for being happy with your life?

Our wings are not tired.

Hope they'll take everything, Cass!

Nice floors, omnis!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SESKA!!!

That's a very pretty floor, omnis!

Oh, yes, I am really quite cheery! Happy life is a darn sight more important than happy birthday. And anyway, birthday got a bit happier when more wine got down me.

Good luck with the donations, Cass!

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

Happy birthday, Seska!! And glad to hear life is happy too. And yes, happy life is far more imortant than happy birthday. After all, one is just once a year. The other is all the time!

Cass, what is this Purple Heart you speaking of? I'm guessing a charitble organization? I know of the medal for wounds in combat. I'm asking because I have a fridge that I need to get rid of (new place has a better one, and I got this one for a bottle of Vodka). I was thinking Habitat for Humanity. I also have a corner desk that could be given away, although it's getting up there in age. But, it's medal with laminate tops, and that sucker has been taken apart/reassembled half dozen times, and everytime, it goes back just fine. Still have all parts and directions.

Anyhow. Tired. Lots of moving of heavy things today here at work. And still have a couple hours to go. No fair, want to save energy for working on new place.

Sadly they [link] don't do refrigerators. I also just realized they will only do small furniture so I can't do that. I'd rather donate than Craigslist but we'll see.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

If you have quite a bit of furniture, you may want to try Community Warehouse

(http://www.communitywarehouse.org/donate-goods)

They don't take refrigerators and they charge a small fee (maybe $25?)for pick-up but I'm told they have a pretty good track record in getting the furniture to people who can use it.
