'Jaynestown'
[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.
sigh, meara and Scrappy, I don't know what y'all are talking about. You're both great looking--not just pretty women, but pretty women who move well and feel comfortable in their own skin.
Believe me, no one is being as critical of you two as yourselves. BELIEVE ME.
Aw, you guys are so kind--and my rational mind knows you are right. My OTHER way-less-rational mind however, just won't shut up.
My OTHER way-less-rational mind however, just won't shut up.
I think it takes some forceful and active self acceptance work to do so. It won't go away on its own.
What Nora said, all of it.
I am so damn queasy, still. I was chewing on ginger all morning. Trying to choke down a banh mi now.
I could use some advice. Remember the saga of the friend who borrowed my corset for a party and then didn't return it for 4 months?
I haven't seen or talked to her since then. Today I get a FB message from her saying "Hi! How are you and Tim? It's been TOO LONG!!! Any chance I could borrow your corset for parties on the 16th and the 27th? If not both, my preference is the 27th. Talk to you soon!"
O_o
Really? REALLY? You borrow my corset, take 4 months to return it to me despite me asking several times if I could get it back, and then I don't talk to you for 6 months UNTIL you want to borrow it again.
I feel like I need to say something more than "No." I realize (thank you, Gavin de Becker) that "No" is a complete sentence, but I feel like I need to say something more. But I can't think of anything remotely polite.
Hey now. At least she gave you a choice of when you had to let her have it.
(And I vote you do. Let her have it, that is.)
How about "Damn, Skippy."
Or more seriously, you know you're going to need it at some point during the holiday season between now and New Years, so you can't let her borrow it.
"I'll return it right away."
"Well, I can't be sure of that. Sorry."
I think you should just say "sorry, I have a few uses for myself in October."
And then:
"how have you been doing?"
How about, "No, I need it for an upcoming event of my own. However, if you are going to be in need of a corset so often I can direct you toward the website where I bought mine."
