Oatmeal:
I did not know you lived in Japan for years. For work? Because why not? For love? Did you like it? ::props chin on hands, elbows on table::
Xander: Am I right, Giles? Giles: I'm almost certain you're not. Though, to be fair, I haven't been
listening.

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I did not know that about Laura either!

Our wings are not tired.
Oh, I didn't. DH lived there several years because his dad was in the Air Force. He didn't live on base and even spent months living on a farm there in a student exchange thing. His dad spoke the language and tutored English to corporate exec types.

I wish! I keep encouraging him to reach out to his old friends and for us to visit one day.

His dad was determined that if they were going to live abroad that they get the full experience, so he also lived in a regular village in Germany too. He only lived on base when they were in the US.

I like that! I've known people who lived, worked, shopped, socialized on base ... might as well have stayed in the U.S.

Very cool! Where in Germany? We lived in Düsseldorf for six years until '74 (my dad was with Dupont, not the military; I mean, he had been in the Navy during the Korean War but not at that point).

Woe to the fucking wicked.
My personal "so sick of" with the pandemic is people who say they're very serious about the protocols, or that health/safety is their first concern, and then...they want to fudge the rules.
So, now I get to have a drawn-out negotiation about things that I came into this activity with assurances I wouldn't have to worry about.
In this case, it's "people who aren't comfortable with masks off can leave theirs on."

Because books.
My pandemic gripe is people who will NOT speak up. In a bakery, with big, glass cases between me and the customers, it's hard enough to hear people without masks!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I am very pro-mask and anti-handshake, even when we are finally done with the pandemic. I think living near Chinatown for so long had already normalized mask-wearing for me, and working as a bartender made me hate shaking hands with someone. 9 times out of 10, it was someone I didn't want to touch at all, and I always had to stop and go wash my hands afterward, and it was just Not Something I Liked.
I miss hugging my huggy friends, though. A Lot.
