[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.
Smonster, so glad that you already have it splinted, that was my first thought: splint and lots of tape. Without the splint you'd be bound to accidentally blunder into bending. Waking up oozing sucks.
Cass, glad you have people coming tomorrow! Every penny paid to people moving boxes is money well spent.
Man, check out these letters from scouts returning their Eagle badges. I am verklempt. [link]
Damn allergies. And hey, one of them is from my friend Matt! I'm proud of him.
Oh, he wrote a fabulous letter!! I was especially moved by this part:
I am enclosing my Eagle Badge, as it does not stand for the things it did when I earned it. I am also enclosing my Eagle patch, as it too does not represent the ideals it did when I received it. I am even enclosing the box, the box that is too small for my worldview and the people of character that I think have value, but the Boy Scouts of America does not.
Oh, {{{sumi}}}. I'm so sorry.
I've been amazed to learn how many men I know are Eagle Scouts, including one whose letter returning his badge has been posted. And also including one gay man.
how long does it take, before the joy of being able to do laundry in your own place wear off?
I don't know that I have ever actually felt that joy, but I will say once it's gone, it's lost forever.

oh sumi. I'm sorry. What a long life though.

I actually still love using the new washing machine we got this spring. It's just light years ahead of the old one, seeing as how it's all digital and has no agitator and has a glass top so I can watch the clothes wash like it's TV.
ION, I know I bitch about work a lot, but I *do* love their willingness to let me work from home when necessary. I had a dental cleaning at noon, and since the dentist is just a few blocks from our house, I didn't really want to drive 20 minutes back up to work if I could just edit at home for the rest of the afternoon. So here I sit on the couch, with big band on Pandora and very clean teeth and a stack of manuscripts. (Well, okay, 2 manuscripts. But they're long.)
Sumi, I am sorry.
