ION, poor TCG looks awful, but he is lucky a carry a medicine cabinet in my purse. I did tell him not to finish my soup the other night...

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

I probably wouldn't have had a snappy comeback if it happened to me, because I would be too busy being furious.

And the thing that makes me craziest is that when I've asked for help, that same guy would be studying his cuticles. FTR, Gavin de Becker says if you do need assistance in public you're better asking for yourself than accepting Random Do-Gooder Assistance, because he might have an agenda that isn't yours.

We are on our first flight. Time to stop Bitching and shut off my cellphone.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Happy birthday Steph!

Happy Birthday Steph!!!
SJ, that is crazy. Not sure if I would have been rude or polite, but if the chair came, I'd say "he's the one who asked for it, give it to him. I didn't realize mental disabilities required wheelchairs, but who am I to say". It all depends on where I am on the sleep/gate keeper index. When travel is involved, its a tough call. And they wonder why there are so many "bitter cripples" (I really hate that phrase, haven't heard it in awhile. Maybe it's finally passe). If it makes you feel better, I had two good experiences of folks being helpful today while rolling my luggage down to meet my friend. The first was getting up on the crosswalk. The ramp for the curb had too many cracks to push up, and someone asked if I needed a hand, "sure", and he lifted up and placed it down 3' away, and waited for me to catch up to it so it wouldn't tip over, and was on his way. The second was for the last bit of walking. It was uphill (where the rest of the trip was down). Again at the crosswalk ramp. He was kind enough to walk it up the hill to the designated wait zone. Very helpful. Sometimes, ya really do need to trust in the kindness of strangers.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
