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.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Thanks, peeps. We find him to be totally adorable.
When are you due, GC?
I have a c-section scheduled for 4/29, but I really think I'm gonna go earlier than that. I am having so much pressure and the baby is measuring about 3 weeks ahead, I can't imagine having that much longer. We'll see...

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
It was the first day back to school after spring break. I think my joints got used to spring break levels of activity. After being on my feet all day for teaching, my knees and ankles are killing me.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Shanie is such an adorable big boy!
I'm home from my day out with my nephews. The younger one is quite the handful in a way his brother never was. He moves quick and when he isn't moving he asks hard questions all day long. We had a great day, and now I'm exhausted.
Relatedly, I can't figure out how a family of 3 or 4 ever affords to do a movie night with kids. TCG and I usually use AAA tickets we get as gifts for the movies, so we very rarely pay for them. But today I wasn't at that theater. Lunch at Chili's, movie tickets, movie candy, and two small action figure type toys=$106. Now, I didn't mind spending that money today because I never see the boys, and I have years of spoiling to make up for, but really how do regular families ever afford to do stuff like that?

Which now cost $3. We never eat out AND go to the movies on the same day, and I sneak in candy bought at the grocery store if we go to a first-run movie.

Always Anti-fascist!
we used to sneak stuff in. but mostly, it was lunch or a movie, rather than lunch and, until my parents got divorced.

Our second run theater costs between $3.50 and $7.50 depending on the day/time. Today's afternoon showing was $7.50 per ticket, even for the little one.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I think families that cannot afford to throw down that much for a night out do one thing at a time. "Wanna go see a movie? Fine, but we'll eat at home before we go. Oh, you want popcorn? Great, spend your allowance money on it. Pop? $4 for a small pop you'll finish before the previews and need to go to the restroom in the middle of the exciting climax. Yeah, good luck with that." At least, not having any children of my own, my guess is that more parents than we realize can be miserly like mine were.
