Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

[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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I would like to see a breakdown of intelligence as it relates to socioeconomic status and urban vs. rural living.

Don't bother, it's not worth the further aggravation. There is a serious validity issue. With regard to racial differences, I talk about this to my class and go on a (at least) 2-week rant.

Our wings are not tired.

I haven't read the article so I can only base my opinions on personal encounters. I've encountered very intelligent deeply religious people, and very intelligent atheists. I've also known average people of the religious and atheist variety. There are those who are self righteous and obnoxiously intolerant of those who do not agree with them at all levels of intelligence and religious belief. I'm partial to those who accept each others beliefs as personal choice whether they are smarty pants or not.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Hello all! I wanted to say that in regard to:

"he has a good heart." My comeback was, "well, I've never seen it."

The appropriate follow-up might be, "well, I've never seen it ... should I open him up and look?"

The status is NOT quo.

Evidence that atheists aren't all that smart: BoA held a carrot in front of us saying that if we just got a letter from the condo's HOA, the loan would close. So we finally went out of pocket to pay the HOA's attorney to do extra work that no other bank asks for...and this morning the processor sent a snippy email saying it wasn't enough and our loan file is closed and declined.

Drew and I have spent nine months trying to get this loan. We desperately need it right now. We spent hundreds of dollars trying to get it. I feel helpless and angry and violated.

Jebus Pix. I cannot believe they are still treating you like this.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Oh, Pix, that's horrible. Gah, I'm so sorry.

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.

Fairly sure BoA is a subsidiary of Wolfram & Hart.

Fairly sure BoA is a subsidiary of Wolfram & Hart.

And their sister subsidiary Wells Fargo.

I'm so sorry, Pix. They have caused so many including the both of us so much stress. The worst part is the all out hatred and anger they bring out in me. Those emotions are foreign and totally unwanted by my peaceful nature. I hate that they make me feel that way.

Laura, exactly! I hate who I am when I have to deal with this. So depressing. Lesson learned. Maybe it was worth the money to finally motivate us to move to a credit union, which we will be doing as soon as the busy Halloween season is done.

And WS, absolutely no doubt in my mind. They are awful.

I think you got that backwards. I'm pretty sure that BofA is the more evil company.
