[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.

erika, Oreo makes a cookie that's chocolate coated with mint filling. I can only decribe it as being the love child of a Thin Mint and a Peppermint Patty. Take your cookie consumption to the next level!

BT, 10 years? That's wonderful. I'm so happy for you.
It turns out I don't have a uti. So no idea why I'm feeling so lousy.

Over on Ravelry, there's a group for New Widows. They were a tremendous help and comfort to me for the first few months. I unjoined the group just now. I can still look them up and post if I want to, but it doesn't serve the same purpose to have them on my primary dashboard. I'm very grateful to them, but life evolves.

It seems odd to say 'congratulations' Connie, but I am glad for your evolution.

I feel a little sad. There are several women on that board who have been widows for much longer than I, and they're still bound up in their loss, still finding it so very difficult to recreate their lives. I'm still smacked sideways with grief, I don't suppose I'll ever be past that, but I'm not consumed with daily sadness. I wish I could share with some of my sad sisterhood how to do it.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Connie, it's something everyone needs to figure out for themselves. It's all different, and all we can do is find a little peace for ourselves. I'm glad that you could take that next step.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Oy. My parents. My mom just emailed me to say that they found the certificate for $1000 in Israel Bonds that my grandparents got for me, and they want to know what I want to do with it. That's probably been sitting in a drawer for 20 years now.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Bitches shopping alert: Zulily just posted a shitton of superhero-themed clothes and gewgaws for girls and women -- some cheesy pinky stuff but some really nice things, too, including a couple of gorgeous Black Widow posters and some fun Powerpuff Girls things. Linkety-link.
