Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

[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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
TCG is even more understated than I am about things.
Medical supply companies always blow goats. It's why, though this chair has been flimsy and unsatisfying I'd almost rather ride the broken shards than buy a new one.
Hell, yeah. I desperately need new crutches, but do I want to deal with the insurance company AND the medical supply company? Nope.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It’s like when you and the lads have just landed in heathrow after a week getting wankered in magaluf. Someone probably got ‘chris’ tattooed on their arse cheek cos chris is an absolute fuckin ledge. You ride the bantmobile all the way back into town for a cheeky nandos before everyone goes home so their mums can wash their #ladsontour shirts you all had made specially. Fuckin top notch.

Yeah, that's the link that I'd posted in response to when she asked on Facebook, but she got the notification for my reply but couldn't see the actual reply, so she called me. Because it was apparently that important.

I just did the most ridiculous bill-paying ever. I've got 14 parking tickets to pay, each for $5. (The fact that they're just $5 is the reason why I'm kind of lazy about feeding the meter -- it costs 50 cents to park for the whole day, and they only check the meters once or twice a week, and if you haven't paid on a day they check, then it's a $5 ticket. There are lots of days when those odds seem good enough to sleep late.) I don't have any stamps. So, I figure I can use the online bill payment thing from my bank, where I can enter the information and they print out the check and mail it. (I have no idea why this is free, but it is.) So I start trying to do it with one check for the whole sum, with the ticket numbers in the memo field, but the memo field will only accept 34 characters. So, I try it one at a time. The first one goes through, but the second one gives me an error, because you can't send two checks for the same amount to the same place on the same day. The most tickets numbers I can fit in the memo field of one check is 4. So I've got checks for $5, $10, $15, and $20 going out one day, and then another $20 the next day.

Okay but what's with the apostrophe?

My California born-and-bred soul finds this even more baffling than a housing market where homes cost $150,000. What's the point of making it metered parking if you can park all day, and tickets don't earn the municipality any money? It's like parking is for the benefit of the residents or some crazy shit like that.
