Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.  

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm with Brendon on wanting time parameters. I once had exact time and temperature settings figured out for a perfect grilled cheese, but I moved away from that stove, of course, and have never achieved such reproducible perfection since. Alas.

I picked my French Toast recipe based on teh fact that it says "3 minutes on a side or until golden brown" rather than just "until golden brown". Even if it's wrong, at least it's something to aim for.

I think it's time for cross-stitch.

All is well that ends in pizza.

for instance:

Glucose -- ah, sugar sugar --
You are my favorite fuel
From the blood-borne substrate pool.
Glucose -- monosaccharide sugar --
You're sweeter than a woman's kiss
'Cause I need you for glycolysis.

The status is NOT quo.

VW and Deena, I LOVE the cover!

Do we have an official deadline for the submissions?

Our wings are not tired.

Do we have an official deadline for the submissions?

Why invite stress?

Honestly, Laura, I work better with a deadline. Without one, I'm apt to put it off forever.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Owen may be just like Dad, but oh my does he look like Cashmere in the bathtub picture. Cutie Patootie.

what I want to know is when Laura saw Cashmere in the bathtub. Or was I the only one that read it that way.

everyone made all the cute em comments -- so I'll just say awwwwww.

I never have shopped at Walmart - The one here is Scary dark. I have also given up Target and Sony for xmas. But scince my Target does not have a pharmacy, I don't know how long it will last. It is hard not to go in there. And I have a friend that might be getting a job there. And I think CA is one of the states where they have to make sure you get your perscription filled ( and there are two different places with 24 hour pharmacies now). There has been a lot of talk on my egroup about the Walmart movie and shopping there. My thought is that if I can't afford to shop anywhere else, than the amount I am spending or not spending there is not going to make a difference. One of the interesting things is that there are manufacturares that are no longer putting thier product in Walmart. Penefin Oil Finish is one. They are a Ca company and they are no longer selling to any big box stores.

And go go Emmett. I had a feeling once he was at the tryouts he would do well.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

My assistant tells me (with plenty of righteous indignation, for whatever reason) that a lot of the companies like Black and Decker who do sell things like small appliances at Walmart have separate, crappier product lines they use. Dunno if that's true or not.
