Goodness, Aims, you two do look a lot alike. I'm so glad the meeting went well!

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.
CLEARLY, YOU MUST BRING YOUR FAMILY HERE AND VISIT YOUR SISTER AND HAVE A MOTHERHUMPING PLAYDATE.
Here's a picture we had the server take of us.
Seestors!
For those who enjoy such things, photos of pets undergoing holiday indignities.
Well, drat - I tried to link to a specific photo - a dog with a big doggie grin with only his nose and mouth sticking out from under a Santa hat.
Hooray, Aimee!
Aims, that's awesome! You guys look so much alike!
Aimee, that's wonderful--so happy for you!
I have so far avoided post-holiday crowds, but I think I will assay a few stores tomorrow. I need to check secondhand athletic equipment venues for a stationary bike, but I'll probably wait about a month for the post-New Year's realization to kick in.
Aims, that's awesome (re your sister)!
Thanks for the good wishes, all. So, shivas are horrible. Give me a good drunken Irish wake over this any day. And ours only last one day. I would really, really like some wine. At 12.30 in the afternoon.
Oh, dear.
Can I amuse you with horrible shiva stories? Like the time when a friend's family started a huge argument on who is more orphan: the aunt without the mother, or the aunt without the father? Or the one, in my grandfather's shiva, where I heard an hour and a half lecture about the fascinating world of fire security protocols in aviation? (after 40 minutes, I leaned towards my sister and asked "oh, and you thought the funeral was the hard part, didn't you?").
(Yes, shivas are a bit like reality shows, where you have to survive one's family).
And Aims - I'm so happy for you. That's really awesome.
