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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Looks like it's right on the coast.
That's what I thought I remembered.

Dang.
Well, thanks for the info. Fingers crossed, candles lit, worrying continues...

I hope that they went inland.
I did hear from my old friend from when I lived in south Jersey: and they didn't even lose electricity. You just never know.
(But they are low but fairly inland.)

Yeah. There're no other "grownup" relatives there - just their 2 sons & the other 2 cousins who haven't heard from them either. But I'm sure they have friends, etc. around. I sent a friend request to their younger (but more responsible) son - hopefully he'll respond and know what's up...

Epic, I hope they are safe and you hear something soon.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Just started hearing from some shore people today, Epic. They're cold and tired but they're ok.
Lots of inland areas have lost power and still don't have it back. Even if they did evacuate they may be unable to call.
And even if they DIDN'T evacuate, they're on the coast but not on an island. A lot of the most horrible pictures are from places where the bay met the ocean - which won't be the situation for them.
Hang in there. The death toll has been remarkably low. They're completely miserable but safe.

Yeah, I found a satellite pic which, assuming it's as current as the site claimed, shows their house as remarkably intact - at least as much as one can tell from a quarter-mile or so above. So less worried than earlier, just waiting...
Thanks, guys.

I'm starting to sound like the students today. Whining. Saying, "I don't wanna" to just about everything. Ran out of steam. Not spoons, mind you, just hitting that mid-term slump, I think. In my defense, we have gotten a LOT of work done in the shop this quarter. Doesn't help with my case of "don't wanna's" today. The whole have-to-watch-show-tonight-and-attend-the-critique thing is probably adding to the "I don't wanna" mentality.

I had a "don't wanna" week, ESPECIALLY when my creaky laptop snafued and ATE MOST OF A RESUME. That was 80% done. And involved lots of financial language, which I had to do some research on for accuracy.
Tech problem is fixed but I still had to rebuild most of the res. GRR ARGH. (Nothing against the delightful person for whom I am working but I shake ma fist at the Tech Gods. And yes, I back up externally and weekly. On Sundays. Not Mondays. And...oh, never mind, talking about the techy FUBAR just makes me need All The Vodka.)
OMG I just finished a thing I was doing for Strix as part of her services and it was like homework and it was very tough (and taxing on my memory) but it is DONE! So excited.
Nora did a LOT of work!
Yes, get your resume done by Erin The Resume Dominatrix, to whom you pay to have pain inflicted on yourself! MWAHAHA! But you need the pain for your happy ending...
Love you, Nora!! ;)
