Heh. I was shocked this week when my father, who never posts and rarely comments on FB (even though he checks it pretty regularly) "liked" my link to the "5 reasons Romney/Ryan should not be elected" (or whatever) article I linked. He barely talks politics in meatspace.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

[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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
many of my relatives are on the other side. But they don't usually engage me directly on ANYTHING, much less that. If we don't talk, I don't know why they friended. Maybe the disappointment is mutual.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I may just have to stay off facebook for a while. I've been an emotional wreck this week. Actually, I should probably just avoid interacting with people altogether for a few days.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
If I do decide to find and choke the guy that went on Warren's page to call her a "bimbo"(although maybe I should feel sorry as he does not know what words mean), I can say I was with y'all, right?

You were on the internet the whole time, erika.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
that doesn't happen when all your relatives are Canadian! that doesn't happen when all your relatives are Canadian!
That's a variant of Canadian I'm not familiar with.

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 regret to inform you all that humanity has lost the mandate of Heaven, and from now on, God has instead chosen to bestow his favour upon the mantis people.
Well, sure. They pray.
Glad the eggs are okay. And that the fire isn't threatening a huge area or structures.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
My FIL has recently gotten into posting political stuff to FB. His views happen to coincide with mine, but probably not with many of the other people he knows (he grew up and still lives in Oklahoma, IIRC the only state where not a single county went for Obama in 2008). It sort of makes me cringe, because a lot of the things he's posting are incendiary or dubiously sourced (or both), plus half of them are reposted from pages with names like "We love to irritate nasty hateful Republicans." I mean, dude must know a LOT more Republicans than I do! I guess he just doesn't care that he's probably pissing them off, or else he's gotten to a point where most people just ignore him.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Closet world is still here. Custom my ass. It's custom as long as it fits in their product line.
The thing that is causing the big wrench, is they either use existing doors (got rid of because they were 96" x 7' of mirrors. I hate mirrors), or, they put in sliding doors of mirrors. @@ NO!
So, I'm picking through their catalog and saying, "see, over here in the pantry section, you have these inlaid doors, with hinges" I would rather a couple hinged doors, then tracked crap. "Oh, everything is custom" and "we can't do that" does not work for me. The second negates the first. So, she is on the phone with the office coming up with possible solutions. Also, the 96" of sliding panels costs MORE than the interior stuff. Which I think is crazy.
I will keep y'all posted as updates happen. We shall see what the phone call produces.
Wheeeee!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
That's a variant of Canadian I'm not familiar with.
Well, none of my surviving Aunts and Uncles are on FB, my cousins who I friend on FB either don't care about politics (esp. US politics) or don't talk about it, my parents' Canadian friends are all extreme leftists, and Dad's cousin is a former NDP MP who mostly talks about environmental and health issues.
So there's really nothing for them to argue about.
Hey! I have a Canadian Echo Chamber.
(And my most conservative close relatives spent 2004 trying to figure out from me why the hell anyone would vote for GWB again.)
