I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Aw, poor Ryan, but I'm glad to know he's feeling better.

~ma for your mom, Frankenbuddha.

France! Hope you guys are having a fantastic time. I had a dream last night about Paris (um, and math problems, but that's not relevant to the discussion at hand), so I like to think it means I'm with you in spirit, even if not in physical consumption-of-delicious-skeezy-cheeses.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I may have to buy some skeezy cheeses in solidarity (which autocorrect changed to sneezy, eww).

Lots of ~ma, Frankenbuddha.

meara, I'm in a waiting period until Dec 1st, and my new plan doesn't offer vision or dental.

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.

Frankenbuddha, much ~ma for your mom.

France! Have fun storming the castles!

Holy crap, a three month waiting period for benefits? That SUCKS.

Stephanie, I saw your FB post. Hope it is OK for you.

Today: meet with NA officers (check), get cat food (check) got get a massage, return Lands End stuff to Sears, go to Old New Orleans Rum distillery (Tom is low on rum, which is a TRAVESTY), and maaaaaybe go to City Park for the LASPCA beer fundraising event New Orleans on Tap, Then some vegetarian food at someone's house.

Trust my rage

Thanks, Nora. It's sort of weird - "I'm sorry" is the appropriate response, I think, when someone mentions a pending divorce, but I really don't feel loss at the moment. That was months ago.

But if people wanted to send ~ma, i got an email from Joe that might possibly, maybe represent a change in direction from the rather ugly ways things had been headed. So, any "step away from the brink" vibes that could be sent Iraq-ward would be very appreciated.

Thrive to spite them

Sending ~ma your way Stephanie.

Compassionately intolerant

Stephanie, I so hope the change of direction is much, much for the better. ~ma headed your way.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Much hopes for less bitter.

Frankenbudda, I'm glad your mom's doing better.

Thanks, y'all. Amyth's loads of fun to travel with, as are the other people in the group.
