Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

Assuming nothing changes, the plan is to fly into Baltimore 6/18. I believe Lee arrives in DC 6/19. I'm there until Wednesday or Thursday, Lee the following Sat, I believe.

This seemed to be the right place for this (Amazon delivers) ... even when you wish it didn't.

And may I mention that I am in DC, fully vaccinated and would LOVE some Buffista contact.

Also - I believe Niagara Falls had been mentioned ... they're planning a new visitor center, but it's still in the planning stages.

Toddson, LOL!

And yes, you were absolutely on the "Pro" side of the Pro/Con list when I was figuring out where Bday festivities were going to happen!

Niagara Falls has been tabled for a time when more planning (and international travel) can more easily happen.

I am at the hairdressers getting my hair cut and colored for the first time since the pandemic began.

Nice! I love hearing news of people getting back to normal.

Yay! I did dentist last week, and I'm getting hair this coming week. Probably a pedi and eyebrows, too, because I'm going to a wedding on Saturday. A purportedly low key, spaced-out wedding. I'm still kind of shaky on the whole no masks in public thing though.

Plus, I KNOW some of the wedding guests won't be vaccinated. Ugh. Honestly, between that and potential discussion of why no vax, I don't think I'll stay at the reception for long. I'll take my injected 5G tracking chip, bat, and ball, and go the fuck home.

We still have masks required on public transit and, I believe, while out and about in the city. I'm vaccinated, but I'll be wearing a mask outside for a while.

Thrive to spite them

I got my hair cut about 6 months ago and I really need to get it cut again. The length is ok but it's growing out from the undercut and is finally looking really weird. I was going to try and get an appointment last week but then the gas shortage happened and now I think I'm going to wait until Mom is back in NC so I can combine hair cut and visiting her.

At this point my hair is long enough to get caught in my pits when I roll over in bed, and needs to be lifted from under my bra clasp in back. So pretty long. I trimmed it a year ago, and it had been over 5 years then, so I'll wait a few years before bothering again.
