Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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.

He argued with me that I surely had more important things to accomplish with my life, etc, etc. He was dead serious. He had been married forever, but they didn't have children because his contributions to the world were much more important
...was his wife also making these vitally important contributions?? I suddenly feel kind of bad for her. Eesh.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Welcome to the world, Nilly-daughter!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So I had a mammogram this morning with a tech who had the worst bedside manner I have ever experienced. I felt like a piece of meat. I know the have to adjust you here and there but she barely was interested in speaking to me. If I could have removed my breasts and handed them to her to look at she probably would have preferred it.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry, le nubian. It is uncomfortable enough without having a bad tech.

Have you seen Idiocracy?
Nope. But now I don't know if I want to!
It is such a personal decision to make, and I find it just as wrongheaded to judge a person for choosing to have children as it is to judge for the decision to remain childless. Now if you let me decide who would be good parental material and who wouldn't the world would surely be a better place. But not my job apparently.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
if the tech had bit me, it would have felt more honest.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Congratulations, Nilly family!

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
OK - I've run into a block on a novel I'm working that I don't think I can overcome on my own. I just can't plot that long. I have the beginning, the end, the world, the main character, some other characters, some really good scenes.
The offer I'd like to make to another writer: you look at what I've got. You come up with a fairly detailed outline (a page or two per chapter). I'll do a first draft. And when it comes to further drafts, we divide the labor the way you choose.
Question: is this a fair offer? Am I asking the other person to do much of the work? Am I monopolizing the fun of writing?
