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.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Non-smoke~ma, Sean.

In other news: I have the cutest Hatul-dog on Earth. We're back from our evening walk, and he was mostly adorable and playful.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Driving into work today, I noticed on the northbound side, a motorcycle cop at the bottom of an entrance ramp holding up traffic. Rather curious. Couldn't see any accident or anything. Then in the distance I see bubble gum machines a flashing. Ah, ok, here comes the medics, it's an ambulance... wait a second... it's much more than that. It's a motorcade. Bunch of black SUV's, cop cars, motorcycle cops, bomb disposal unit, sedans, ambulance. Didn't see the limo, not sure if it was used, or just couldn't see over the median. Sure enough, that was the President heading back to Los Angeles from a fund raiser event in south Orange County.

Take me, Nigerian prince, take me hard!

Very sadly, Cindy, yes. Here are bonny's posts on this: bonny fides "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Dec 22, 2011 12:35:47 am PST

Thank you so much, Shir.

bonny, I am so sorry for your loss. Rest in peace, Bartleby.

eta...

Good luck, Sean!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

And yet, even with a motorcade, the Obamas had problems getting through traffic for their Valentines Day date night.

Well, I have smoked. But I'm really getting disgusted by this habit. I hate it every time I light up. I hate the way I smell, and I hate the way my mouth tastes all the time. I'm still (and have been) trying to cut down as much as I can, and working towards not smoking any more.

You go, Sean! You will get there. (And hopefully, someday, so will I.)

I just read about Lee's Perkins the cat, while catching up in Beep Me. I'm so sorry, Lee.

On the COMPLETELY other hand, Gris is a father? I don't know if he's around these parts anymore, but congrats, Gris!

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.

Yeah, it is generally a red flag when we hear from the author him/herself, rather than the publisher or a hired publicist.

Hmmm. I'm in the position of having to contact reviewers and talk show hosts and whatever myself. Praeger press is not generous with review copies, or with putting time into publicity (even compared to normal publishers.) And they certainly don't pay enough for me to hire my own publicist. When I contact people to offer review copies (at my own expense) how do I explain this without badmouthing Praeger. This is actually normal for academic presses. It is just that I believe my book has some value to a non-academic audience.

Sean, what helped me quit, was vowing to only smoke after sex. (snerk)

Seriously, good luck with it! The fact you are disgusted by it is the first step. Nocitine is a tough nut to crack. You can do it!!!!

(same goes for you Smonster!)

Oooh! Good idea, o_a! That just might work!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I hate it every time I light up. I hate the way I smell, and I hate the way my mouth tastes all the time. I'm still (and have been) trying to cut down as much as I can, and working towards not smoking any more.

Right there with you, Sean.

Paging Teppy - are there contraindications for taking Flexeril and Xanax (like, a quarter pill) together? And if I do that and then drink, am I risking a Heath Ledger?
