Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

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

Thrive to spite them

I don't think they wanted me to address Kmart closing it just got flooded into the rants about how the world sucks today.

Yes there is a problem with sexualization of girls clothes but even the dresses that might seem questionable for a 9 year old look more appropriate on a 13 year old. And we have girls in that age range shopping for the same sizes.

Plus I am ready for my next day off. I worked almost open to close yesterday, did that last week. Plus had scheduled long days and I could use a break.

Someone said we are closed for Easter, which would be nice. My brother and nephwe will be at the beach and Mom will be in FL visiting a friend. I'll go with M to his brother's. And the week after next is vacation. Yay

Not javachik

Um hi. Between eating chocolate and drinking champagne to counteract the tension and drama of several dvr'd Maddow shows in a row, I'm awake at 4 am. Possibly I should try getting some sleep.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I had the same conversation with customers in the late 1990s when I worked at JCPenney. I was probably pretty rude and explained supply and demand to them.

Yesterday was much better. We were busy and shorthanded but 2 of my favorite customers came in and both hugged me. And a couple came in before we got busy and they were a delight. So that was really nice.

Our wings are not tired.

That's good to hear, askye.

My son is on his 4th day of the job. So far he had lost his phone and my earbuds because he left them in an unlocked locker, because he left his (my) lock at home. Also same day left his badge at home. He refuses to move until 5 minutes before I have to drive him to work, so he forgets stuff and doesn't pack lunch. Then he is miserable because I am snappin' on him when I mention anything. So over it.

I'll continue to drive him to work because it is a couple minutes from where my exercise class is in the morning. I bought him a monthly rail pass for coming home. After he finishes the month of training he can take a bus both ways because he will be on a different schedule. If I don't kill him before then.

I have a damned headache and my brother is annoying and a friend is throwing a sleepover for her 8YO's b-day and toupee fiasco and ugh! I want to fly to the Florida Keys and nap in a hammock on the beach for like ever.

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

I just found out that that 13 of my Facebook friends are friends with the ex principal of my high school who sexually assaulted a teenager on a class trip. And I just told my mother and she said "well he gave her a hickey" and I had to explain that that is sexual assault, and now I'm disgusted and annoyed with everyone.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I can't imagine a scenario where the principal of a school should be giving teenagers hickeys

He attacked her on a bus full of students on a class trip. There was definitely no consent, but he claimed he was just joking around.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

There is no "joking way" that a person in a position of power can give a hickey to a teenager who he has authority over.
