Good news, bonny! Quick recovery for Niki, and chill-ma for you.
Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.

[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.

The status is NOT quo.
Yay, Bonny! Great news! I wish her (and you) well. And Steph, more good news! Congrats!
I kid you not, it sounds like the rats in my attic are playing a full-scale soccer match.

Thanks, dearies.
It seriously feels like a ton of weight has been lifted from my heart.
Of course, there is a long way to go but hurdle number 1 is cleared.
Steph, I'm SO glad for you. Such a prestigious assignment! May it bring you hours of contented labor and the big bucks, of course.

Hello, it's been a long time. Teppy's getting married and has a new job? Awesome! Glad your friend is okay bonnie.
erika, one of the things in Temple Grandin's new book The Autistic Brain is about eye contact, how for many people on the spectrum, direct eye contact can = sensory overload. Not sure if it applies to you but FYI. [link] It's a heck of a good book.

I have hard time with eye contact, actually. It's going to make tomorrow a little challenging.

I learned that eye contact beyond the very briefest duration was aggressive. Or maybe just pushy. I'm good at looking at cheekbones.

Found this on T Grandin's website, Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships: Decoding Social Mysteries Through the Unique Perspectives of Autism, [link] which sounds interesting. Not one library in the Bay Area LINK+ system has it!
I spent so much time staring at someone and doing bullbaiting during my late teens and early 20s in the C of S cult that I take it for granted that my perspective on eye contact is warped.
