[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.

I should get it...but then I just fear it will all bounce off Tim and we'll continue hoarding cardboard tubes (no, really).

But then -- we cleaned out 5 years' worth of mail 2 weeks ago, so I have some hope we can keep making progress.

Compassionately intolerant

Huh. The library has 27 copies but 73 holds.

You can't even borrow an electronic version.

I don't even know how that works. If it's digital, how can there be limited copies?

It's like a license -- they can only lend the number of "copies" they bought. Otherwise publishers wouldn't make money.

Publisher limitations. They want you to buy more copies to cover the demand. Plus a lot of library ebooks will go poof after so many check-outs.

Thrive to spite them

I've pared down more clothes. I don't go anywhere that needs anything dressy. Even business casual is dressier than my life calls for at the moment. So 2 pairs of pants went in the Goodwill pile. 1 pair because they had "Line dry only" on the tag. Nope. All my clothes have to go in the washer and dyer. Otherwise they'll dry and wrinkle and I don't own an iron and it's too much trouble. I'm also slowly getting rid of most of the clothes I had before I moved, but I had most of those for a few years. There are things like my Buffistas F2F shirt I'll hold on to, even though it doesn't fit at the moment.

Anyway I'm trying to figure out what my personal style is and anything I know doesn't fit into that (or fit on me) is going away.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'm menstrual, grieving, and just read Rand Paul's latest salvo of bullshit--pity the #tcots tonight. Or, you know, don't. Although the last time I fought one, she was kind of hitting herself(and not cause I grabbed her finger)

Steph, Marie Kondo's thing is to choose what to keep rather than what to get rid of, based on whether or not it sparks joy. And folding your clothes to fit your drawers, which is already changing my life. The

I learned the "vertical" method of putting folded t-shirts in drawers, which: GAME CHANGER.

YES. Total game changer.

Man, my brain is fried, because I meant to say I learned the vertical method from UFYH. Not super important, but attribution is useful.

That drawer looks so good, I always want to take a picture of it.
