Yay, Scrappy!!! That's great news!
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I've said it before, and I'm saying it again: I always want erika to have my back.

I'd possibly be inclined not even to say you'll need it at that time, but just something like "I'm afraid that won't be possible". That gives her less to engage with, just in case she's the sort who'll try to argue or negotiate with your refusal (which seems possible given that whole "If I can only get it from you for one date" thing). You don't owe her a reason any more than you owe her a corset.
This is true. I'm just trying to decline her request as politely as possible, so my instinct is to go with an explanation, rather than just an unmitigated refusal.
I mean, DAMN. It's not like I really even consider her a friend, per se. She's someone in our circle of acquaintances, and is always friendly and bubbly, but she's not my BFF or anything. I became the default person for plus-size ladies to borrow corsets from, simply because I am fat and own corsets. Not a good enough reason.

There is something in this room that is piercing my ear drums. It's 7,000 Hz tone, that is spiking the meter. I thought it was ringing in my ears.
At least you can measure your pain. I'd still be thinking it was ringing in my ears.
Yay for the news on Scrappy's mom.

Oh, Tep, you don't watch Justified?(You should.) I could make you think I'm all mysterious and shit. Raylan saw some guy do that on the Tonight show...always wanted to try it. Although maybe my favorite Justified moment was when Ava, who's known Raylan the Marshall since junior high, if not before, blows away her wife-beating husband with a shotgun, then tells Raylan what an awesome cleaner Lysol is.

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

Yes! It's handy having iOS devices with various sound tools on it. Not sure what prompted me to look, as usually it is just ringing in my ears. Hmm, maybe I should look more often!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

While flirting with him hardcore!!
Also - I am *finally* over the AB nausea and hungry again, praise Ali Baba and the forty thieves. I'm celebrating by eating dill mashed potatoes with broccoli. My feet still itch, but I'll survive.

Yeah, totally...that was hot!ETA: Tep, I always have your back. Justified may have my favorite pilot since Homicide, at least in terms of defining the show like, wow,

Just say "Sorry, no can do. Let us know if you want to grab a drink some time!"
