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 that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Thank you, all! Yes, it is a big relief, with a bonus of "hi, I worked really hard for a personal goal and it wasn't a failure", which is something that didn't happen a lot in the last five years or so.

Also, OMG, grad school. And studying economics! I always wanted to understand more about it.

Edited: huh. I failed at spelling "failure" correctly.

What is even happening?

That's our Shir.

She's so made of win, she can't even spell failure.

Ha!

Congrats, Shir!

Thrive to spite them

Congrats Shir. I hope you enjoy grad school and learning about economics. Dad was an economist. I asked him one time why he became one and it boils down to he took an economics elective and he found it fun and easy and so decided to become an economist.

I hope you find it fun and easy as well.

Our wings are not tired.

Hi beekaytee!! Good to see you, always.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Thank you! And hello!

I hope you find it fun and easy as well.

From what I already had (there was a summer semester)- fun, yes, easy: not so much (but I love an intellectual challenge!). I am mostly very happy that I get a chewed-up version of economics for the MA (in public administration) that doesn't require doing hours of math.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

So, I'm going to a wedding tomorrow where they want you to wear specific colors. I found a great dress on Rent the Runway. I tried it on, and it juuust fits (forgot that designer sizes are not real sizes). Problem is, I can't get the zipper up by myself. And it's one of those fancy zip pulls so I can't use the ribbon trick to get it those last few inches. I've put out an SOS to a couple that I know is coming to the wedding to ask if they can help me tomorrow. I'm ridiculous, my arms really hurt from the 20 minutes of contorting in the dress, and the zipper is an asshole.

I will know several people at the wedding, but I don't know which ones, and I don't want to reach out to someone that I don't know for sure has been invited. Ugh!!!
