Trick ,'First Date'
[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.
Aims, dear - best of luck!
Edit: and to Sail too!
Steph, sorry to hear about the corset and the friend. I understand your point of view, but have to admit that my friends and I are lending things to one another (though, not corsets - books and such) for years without asking them back. I'm pretty sure I lost few books along the way like that, but I don't really care about these things - unless I specifically asked back for them. However, again, I understand your frustration and anger.
Yeah, it's time I got back on medication train, myself. At the very least, ADHD meds. I'll probably need a shrink for the head meds.
Things are Capital B Bad.

And if I had said to her "Take it, keep it, I don't care when you get it back to me, or even if you keep it for a long time," then my complaint would be ridiculous and hypocritical. But I didn't. It was loaned for a specific event that lasted only one weekend, with the understanding that it would be returned to me afterward.
I understand your attitude of relaxed loan/giving to friends without the expectation of the item being returned, and it's great that that works for you and your friends.
That's not the circumstances or expectations under which I loaned this corset, though.
Oh, absolutely - I never meant to imply that this is the situation between you and your friend. Sorry if I wrote it like this.
And also, Aims, I'm glad you're taking care of yourself.
Aw, Sox, that's great about your students. You're so influential!
You're so influential!
Yes, that.
(You see? That's being amazing. So shush, ya'll).
My PCP wants me to see my oncologist because of the freaky blood tests. Excuse me while I panic.
it's kind of an intimate thing to borrow. Expensive, too, right?
Freaky, how? t edit Ginger, sorry; I don't mean to pry, and you don't need to share. My instinct is to try to alleviate panic by looking at the facts, which is why I asked.
Can we help alleviate panic in any way for you?
