Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Seriously, I really thought I was failing at this basic building block of friendship via text by not saying "Loved 'blah blah blah'." I'm relieved to know I'm not THAT bad of a friend. But perplexed to know that I can't figure out how texting works. I need to check my settings.

Interesting. I have not seen a text with 'Loved' so my phone apparently just sends me hearts or something.

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

Steph, it might be because not everyone does. I think I have your number (ending in ****, which will go poof in a minute) and we can see if it works. I have the latest iOS as well.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Friend on FB is posting about how bananas have "tons" more sugar now than they did back in the day, so we're "risking diabetes" if we eat them, and by the way, isn't it worrisome that apples are so much bigger than they used to be in the Good Olde Days?

I just want to know, who are these people whose lives are so trouble-free that THIS is what they spend time and energy worrying about?

Right on! Let's try it.

Right? "Too much fruit" is not going to be a problem for the vast, vast majority of people. And this is largely because if you do eat too much fruit (ie, way more than 1 large apple), your guts will let you know that you chose poorly. (I know there are some people who need a keto diet because it was actually recommended by their doctor, like to prevent seizures, and for them, okay, avoid the giant apple if you have to.)

Now I'm very curious about the experiment! I've not seen that stuff, but most of my group chains are in FB messenger, because we had weird things where the two people without iPhones randomly would not see the messages from the other person. Those with iPhones saw all the messages, and those with android saw the iPhone messages but sometimes not the other android messages. V weird.

And again, not actually that hard. Don't buy the Fuji apples as big as your head. Anytime I buy a (pre-packed) bag of apples, they're generally on the small-to-medium side. Stores have ever so many varieties!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

There's nothing quite like spending all day taking care of a toddler only to have her slap you across the face when you're trying to put her in her pjs and then tell you that you don't deserve a hug.

Oh dear, you totally deserve hugs.
