This is me, rolling my eyes forever at your neighbor, bonny.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

[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.

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Bonny, that is ridiculously rude. I missed whatever you deleted this morning, but whatever it is, all the ~ma.
One example of how TCG's life is better with me is that we have cupcakes for dessert! Because I stopped at the farmer's market on the way home and bought them. There still isn't much in terms of veg at the farmer's market, and I was there at the tail end when lots of people were out of stuff or had gone home already. But I bought a pumpkin cupcake, a margarita cupcake, and some fresh mint.
ETA: I t heart Windsparrow.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
I think a cupcake farmers' market is a SPLENDID idea.
ION, for those who don't follow my grousing on FB: I came home to a summons for jury duty. First time in my life. I genuinely don't mind, except this year of all years, I would prefer to save my time off to get married and take a honeymoon. (And then Cindy asked me if my company treats jury duty time differently than vacation/sick time, and said that the last time she worked for someone else, they didn't count jury duty against vacation/sick time. I didn't even think about that. I guess I'll have to see. [I suspect we don't have an official policy, because everything about that place is a little unorganized.])

Cupcake ATMs are totally a thing.
Truly we live in a golden age.

I agree. This local baker comes every week with cupcakes and cake pops. So yummy!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've sat in the cafe across from that ACM and watched people...take pictures of it.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Sj, I don't think there is anything you can do to stop her,but you might want to come up with a few phrases
Wow, I haven't thought of that in a long time.
Oh what an interesting idea.
And even
I'm sorry you feel that way.
All neutral. All polite. All mean very little. It may not be the game you wanted to play, but you can change the rules.
Someone once asked me how I keep so calm at the library(people are really rude). It is a game I play since I started in customer service - someone makes me mad, I lose. If I show that I've lost my temper , I lose big time.

I use this one a lot, but the others are good too.

I've actually bought a cupcake from an ACM, and it was good!
