[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.

But it does taste like that! However, my devs thought the faces I made at it were hilarious, so that counts as co-worker bonding, right?

Whiskey is Listerine. Give me the college girl sweet drinks. Riunite Lambrusco and strawberry daiquiris!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

It is (almost) officially summer, here on campus. Today was honors ceremony rehearsal day. Sunday is the ceremony. And all week the event center across the street has been hosting various graduation ceremonies (each school in the University has it's own ceremony, plus a lot of local high schools use the venue, as well as a couple small, commuter colleges). I've been going non-stop all week. It's almost 6:30, and my brain just doesn't want to focus. I'd go home, but, it looks like I have a bonus date with the table-for-6 folks. They sent an email asking if I was available (automated one from their website). Eh. Given how much lack of service they have given, I'll take a freebie. Anyhow, that is tonight, and the dinner is down here by work, at 8pm. So, not worth sitting in an hour of traffic, just to turn around and come back. I feel I should be doing SOME work. But... brain, just not working.

I will jump on the 42 bandwagon! But not until October. 1971 seems to be a big Buffista year!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Joe was 42 last January. It's been a good year.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I'll be 41 in August. I'm an outlier. *sob*

Our central AC fan is broken. Fuckity. We have a window unit in the bedroom that my parents gave us, because I cannot, CANNOT sleep hot, especially with the insomnia.

I am going to have to clean house early in the morning, and later in the evening. I hate cleaning at night; it just seems like a daylight activity.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hello Bitches, I love you all. And I'm not even tipsy.

Hi Epic! Always good to see your pixels.

I thought I had more, but I don't.

Just... Hi. Love y'all.

More bourbon for me! I don't like any sweet drinks, really. I don't even put sugar in iced tea.

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.

For me, 42 is so last year.

But since we're non-traditional here, there's something vaguely Greek-play-esque about the bride's father wanting to be dressed exactly like the man the bride is about to marry.

Can you reframe it to him as "We aren't doing matchy-matchy. We want you to coordinate therefore please wear x,y,z and j garments, which will round out Our Look in the best way." And then get as specific as possible, perhaps in a quasi-bridezilla way. "THIS is what I want you to wear for my wedding. This is the Look I want."

I hit 42 in April.

1971 seems to be a big Buffista year!

Well I graduated HS in '72 so not so much with the being born in '71. But I do like all you kids playing on my lawn so I won't be shaking my cane at you, yet.

So I am working my way through my stress balls and it is one step forward and two back at times, but maybe making progress. To overshare I'll offload here since it is tough elsewhere. {{Hugs Buffistas}}

House - omg the list is so long, but I think I see an end in sight and it will go on the market soon. I've no doubt it will sell quickly and we will be able to settle with the evil bank and have a bonfire with all stacks of documents. But still with the long list of details to finish before the For Sale sign goes up.

Work - We finally managed to get co-worker to go the the doctor. It wasn't too hard once she couldn't breathe because her lung had collapsed. She has been in the hospital a week. Ended up in ICU yesterday when the procedure to fluff up the lung again did not go well. They are trying to build her up, put some weight on her and so forth so she can withstand chemo. Honestly it is real tough to try and visualize a positive outcome here. So yeah, I am covering for DH because he is full time on house renovation and covering for K because she is fighting for her life. So I'll be hiring someone in the next few days because I just can't manage it all.

Mom and family drama galore. Where to start. My niece that I helped get her daughter back from her mother now has been kicked out by her boyfriend. So she and her 2 kids moved in with her sister and her boyfriend with their kid. But since she works 90 min away she has stuck her sister with 3 kids for 12 hours a day. Sister's boyfriend blames it on me because I took the older child away from her wonderful life with grandma. Okay right, I also talked her into having 2 kids with 2 losers and not seek support. Whatever. My poor brother who is barely mobile with MS has been pulled into the drama of course. No clue how all this will play out.

My sisters are furious with step-dad (a constant state) because he is forcing my mom to go north when they don't think she is ready. I feel guilty that I caused her to stay a month longer than usual for Bobby's graduation. She never made it to graduation because she was in the hospital after getting a virus from babysitting her great grandchild. Mom says she doesn't go anywhere or do anything she doesn't want to. She also thinks my sisters don't get that she isn't going to feel better. She'd like to be up north for her 92nd birthday. The sibs all think that her husband makes all the decisions, and is wrong all the time, etc. My take is that there is a good reason they have been single for decades. They don't get the married dynamic. If he dotes on mom they say he is making her an invalid; if he pushes her to do things he is a bully. Seriously, the guy can't win.

Is there more drama in Laura land? Well, yes, but I've dumped enough. Also, parent of 18 and 21 year old boys with the usual drama that goes with that role. I observe parents with a whole lot worse kids than mine, so I'll keep mine.

I should get to work, huh.
