The cutest kitty!
Totally!
And I meant to say earlier, my condolences to Epic, and lots of ~ma for Daniel & WindSparrow.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Scrappy, yeah.
Dan's first birthday gift to me was awesome - it was an iTouch - but he had a touch more income at that point.
We "bought" each other a Nook Color this year (one to share) but honestly, that was paid for with bday money his mom sent us, and we probably should have spent it on bills.
But we do love it muchly, and use it all the time.
I buy 80% of Dan's gifts from ThinkGeek.com, and circle stuff I'd like from the catalog for him, and send him links to stuff I'd like for Xmas.
Sure, I'd love for him to spontaneously pick out something perfect for me that I hadn't thought of, but oh, well. He's awesome in so many other ways.
And I LOVE ThinkGeek! WIN!

Once again, Scrappy is wise.
Hubby says the biggest problem with male/female communications is that women think men are smarter than they are. There are no secret meanings, they're very linear thinkers on the whole.
Ah, but see, I date women. It's all very complex, trying to understand one another...:)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What does not being smart have to do with being a linear thinker? It's not smart if your convoluted thinking gets you the wrong answer.

And, as usual, I end up on the "male brain" side of this one. It always confuses me when people try to figure out what I "really meant" by what I said or did. If I'd wanted to say something, I would have said it.

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

Wallybee is like this too, which occasionally caused problems for her. Directness is not a trait particularly valued in Chinese culture.

Speaking of gifts, I am currently baking birthday brownies for TCG and then I am going to wrap his gifts. The poor guy has a late meeting on his birthday.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I know we struggled with hospital meals for my mom.
They kept sending my mom chocolate desserts, despite the big sign in her chart that said "allergic to chocolate". And mom, being by that time totally out of it, would eat it and... oh dear.

Skipping 600ish posts and jumping to new thread. ...
Um. In a strange twist of WTF?/only when you work for the state-news. You may recall over the summer, minor anxiety that I might get downsized, due to CA budgetary woes, and thinking cutting education is a good idea. Thankfully I survived the first round of cuts.
That's not the wtf part. So, we are in huge budgetary woes state wide, so what they do? Give a modest, system wide, 3%ish merit raise. Huh? Um. Ok. I'll happily take it, since they just raised our parking and health insurance. But paint me confused.
I've said it before. State jobs do not involve logic.
