No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

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.

Yay, chemistry!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Hope you had fun, Sunil.

Also yay for chemistry and pretty scarf.

There is dust on all of our things and I now need to figure out how to clean hardwood floors.

For mopping, I recommend Murphy's Oil Soap, 1/4 c. to a gallon of water. If you can get the water hot and change it before it gets tepid you do not have to rinse, generally. If the water is not warm enough, it must be rinsed or it will dry tacky. For ordinary dust mopping, a Swiffer is great. Don't bother buying brand name refills for it, though. A microfiber cloth will poke right into place, and can be reused indefinitely. Actually, in a pinch, a stout paper towel will do. Good luck selling the old place for a good price.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Good luck, P-C!

Date four begins anon. I need to go pit some cherries (not a metaphor in any way).

Good luck, Sunil (sorry about the timing mix-up) and Smonster.

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

If anyone wants to see our puppy, Chet, here's a picture taken today as he graduated from puppy class. [link] Seven months old and 80 lbs. He's a total sweetheart, if you discount all the stuff he has chewed up.

Compassionately intolerant

Scrappy, Chet is a handsome and charming guy! Congrats on his graduation. And...80lbs at 7 months? Yikes. Do you have an estimate of his final size?

Cagney has grown more than expected, which makes him more of a torso dog than a lap dog.

I approve of dogs one need not bend over to pet.

We have no idea of his final size-his mom was a big lab and his dad a large Standard Poodle, so who knows?

Good luck, Sunil!

Stick to Tep's advice about asking questions indicating your sincere interest in them as a person.

Think about questions that will draw them out. Find their geekly passions. That will get things rolling.

I see a geek girl in your future.
