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.

Jen - I haven't seen much jasmine growing around here, fwiw.

Our wings are not tired.

Why would the bank NOT allow you to make payments? That is so confusing. Was it a partial payment thing, and they wanted all or nothing?

All or nothing was exactly it. I don't want anyone to think it was one payment; we were several behind. In addition to the past due payments they slapped a $12k insurance charge for insurance that was not required in our mortgage making catching up in a lump sum even more difficult. We may have been able to solve it then, but they insisted we do the modification thing which delayed a few more months, spiral, spiral. Now after 6 modification attempts we are at this point. We will keep fighting, and we will prevail.

But she made a tactical error, because now I KNOW she is scared stiff of me. And the petty side of me, which I am trying to supress, is very, very pleased by that.

I'm pretty pleased by that too! It is rotten for the adults, but the poor kid is in such a powerless position. It is good that D is standing up to her now.

The Margarita cultivar of Carolina jessamine is hardy to zone 6 and there are some reports of its survival in 5A. Most cultivars are only hardy to zone 7.

Ginger, did you hear back about getting an earlier appointment?

Thanks Ginger... I think I understand how all the words go together. Now I need to figure out what kind of zone we're in. This is turning out to be sort of fun. I'm going to time me.

Look at that, I found a zone map. We appear to be Zone 6a. Score!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I have achieved and paid for home insurance today. And the best part? Our car insurance is going down so much because we are moving out of the city that it more than pays for the house insurance.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Excellent news, sj!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

That's great, sj!

Filed under "things I didn't expect to do this morning," I just had to fix my kitchen faucet, twice. At least I think it's fixed? And now to eat lunch and get ready for work. Oy, so much for everything else I needed to do today.

Stephanie, how did the court session go yesterday? I hope it was better than you anticipated, but I'm glad for you that it's over with now.

GO ERIN!

Yay, sj!

Grrr to that nasty bank, Laura. Effers.

I have my goiter (ew - that has to be one of the grossest words in the English language) biopsied today at 3PM. I'm not too worried about it at this point, but a little ~ma certainly can't hurt!

And I send it out to others in need, as well. ~MA TO YOU, MY PEEPS!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I slept ok, but i'm a little tired and brain-thuddy. Ah, well.

Been working this morning anyway -- although there was barely enough coffee for 1 cup BAD HUSBAND NO COOKIE -- and I'll write until it's time for my 2pm yoga class. There was a Groupon and a friend who I give rides all the time bought me 15 yoga classes! Which was super-nice and I'm really excited about it.

I have to brag about it here because I can't go into the SPN thread because the damned DVR didn't record Friday's SPN, so we haven't watched it yet, but...Dan, last night, finished the last episode of SPN on Netflix Streaming. He watched all 6 seasons in 3 weeks.

I'm so proud...
