Ahhh, thanks, sj. I need to work on my zen, since my life is not likely to get less stressful any time soon. I guess it's time to revive my meditation practice.
Hey, man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity!

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Lisah, those are hot shoes. I approve.
smonster, everyone pulls an occasional boner. Don't let it faze you too much.

Ugh. Well, the time of the month explains why I had dreams about my back hurting all night long. Ow. How long do these painkillers take to kick in?

Also: anyone have awesome present ideas for a guy who is old, blind in one eye, deaf in one ear, and doesn't like to leave his recliner much? Aka, my dad?

Something he can put into his mouth, like Scotch?

Hmm. He's never been much of a drinker, and apparently the antibiotics he's on for the eye thing are killing his appetite. But I may go find some monk-baked fruitcake or something. Adopt a nun again. Anyone have good Catholic-related charitable giving?
(So far the excitement is that he probably won't have to have a glass eye. But I did discuss with siblings that we should get him a parrot. Because he's one peg leg away from piracy, and he DOES have diabetes, which increases the peg leg likelihood. Though apparently my sister got it but my brother went "like...a helper parrot?!?")

But I may go find some monk-baked fruitcake or something.
At Thanksgiving someone brought a fruitcake they had made and kept in the freezer. During Sandy when their power was out it thawed, so to be safe it got dowsed in most of a bottle of Talisker and refrozen. I can highly recommend this practice.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My dad always liked this at Xmas: [link]

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
But I may go find some monk-baked fruitcake or something.
The monks (friars?) at Gethsemani apparently do good fruitcake. (I don't like fruitcake, so I can't personally vouch for it, but people who DO like fruitcake say it's good.)
Anyone have good Catholic-related charitable giving?
St. Vincent de Paul? The Retirement Fund for Religious?

Thanks Teppy! He's volunteered with St V de Pfor many years (used to collect the furniture donations, or bring them to the recipients). I figure I'm willing to donate to things like retired nuns, just not the actual church.
