Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?  

[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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

It's artistic! It's madness made manifest! It's showing not telling!

It's giving me the creeps! (Did I tell you I have a weird phobia of old places/things? I don't go out of my way to avoid them, but I don't seem to be able to seperate them from the people who lived in/used them contemporarily. I get vertigo if left in the antiquities parts of the DMA).

Thrive to spite them

-t I realized that I haven't worked in retail for almost 10 years, I can look at what I got paid, but I'm not sure how that translates to what I'd get paid today.

I have to keep reminding myself that no matter what I do I'll be taking a pay cut because my supervisor figured out how to overpay me to keep me to stay.

Are you picking up vibrations from the recently deceased again?

How about this abandoned roller coaster track in the fog?

That's one of my all time favorites.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

THAT one creeped me out.

See, and I don't even believe in that stuff. It's more of a "human just the same as me walked past this like I walk past that church downtown" I'm trying to link it to that book ita mentioned, "The Earth Without Us" because it has that kind of feel to me.

Hey! Here's the amusement park I grew up with! Pirate's World! (Really)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Pirate's World!

I was really hoping that this was an amusement park *for* pirates.

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

I think the creepiest place I've ever been is Gettysburg. You look out over those fields and it's like you can feel the weight of everything that happened there. It's got a very odd vibe. The natural beauty of the place probably enhances it.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

This one creeped me out. Some Russian's motorcycle tour of the Chernobyl area.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

For financial planning, P-C, you want a fee-only financial planner [link]. They don't sell investments; they just help you figure out how to invest for a fee.

How much do they cost?

vw's brother crunched the numbers and gave me some estimates for monthly payments. They're higher than I would have liked. Oops. I don't relish the prospect of paying close to triple what I'm paying in rent.
