Thought of you, Steph:
Not quite "This is fine," but the vibe is there. Just discovered this site. I want one of pretty much all the things.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

[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.

So, from moment one, the job was mine if I wanted it. We talked there for a couple of hours and now I'm meeting with the person I'll be working with the most (she is trying to get her computer to log onto the internet, so I'm sneaking in here for a quick minute).

That's great news, Suzi!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Awesome, Suzi!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Congrats, Suzi!
Another unseasonably warm day. It's 67 degrees and rising. The cats are happy, the plants are confused.

Our wings are not tired.
Yay Suzi! Enjoy.
He said he was pushing himself to keep his body and mind sharp. But it's cool that he is pushing his boundaries.
That is great to hear, askye. It really is important and it is wonderful that he knows that. Now, watch me make this mememe...
Yay me being off computer for 3 days! Yes, I had my phone, but sucky service and I hate doing anything but texting or messaging on it anyway. So I spent Friday and the weekend at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Becoming an Outdoor Woman seminar event. Hanging with a bunch of women in cammo and taking classes including Talkin' Turkey, Knot Tying, Small Game Hunting, Bird Watching, and a bunch of other stuff. Spent several hours out in the swamps in a huge ass swamp buggy yesterday and today. I didn't do so much of the skills type classes of shooting or archery, but more of the educational type ones. The enforcement officer that taught the turkey class had dinner at our table one night and noting my green dot for vegetarian on my name tag told me he would be happy to let me know which berries were good and which plants had fresh water in them and so forth so I could survive in the wilderness without resorting to eating bugs or squirrels or whatever.
We had a nice discussion about acquiring knowledge. I haven't eaten turkey in probably 40 years, but now I know 4 different calls and how to construct and use a blind and a whole lot of other knowledge about hunting wild turkeys. All knowledge is valuable and learning new things and exposing yourself to different and new things is as important for the aging brain as it is for the toddler brain. So YaY brain stimulation.
We also sang around the bonfire each night as a couple women brought instruments. There were ~140 women from all over and it was fun to meet them. The coolest ever was a 'balance' service animal for one woman. 156 pound dane of some sort who was so attentive and capable. The woman was going on hikes and everything despite her serious balance issues because Tolkien was by her side. She said he detects her being unsteady before she even notices. You could see it too. Providing safety and security for her. His only issue was the potty stalls where he couldn't fit because he was very anxious waiting for her.
