Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

[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.

“Not dead yet!”

You know, it's weird, but ever since I had my surgery, I've found that I have a bit more adverse reaction to eating foods that are very rich or fried foods. My stomach gets very rumbly with gas.

This getting older shit blows dead bears.

Barb, I can't eat fried foods anymore. Occassionally I cheat, but I pay for it. Do you take anything like prilosec? It might help.

“Not dead yet!”

I haven't gotten used to it to the point that I think ahead, sj, but in the aftermath, I've found that Gas-X works pretty well, along with nibbling on something starchy and bland.

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

Haaaaa ha ha. OH MAN. I guess my current potential future wife is no longer current.

I realize this probably doesn't need to be stated, but I just wanted to make sure that we were both on the same page. It seems as if there is lack of interest on both parts, and that may be due to a multitude of reasons. I wish you the best of luck in all that you do, and it was a pleasure meeting you!

And here I was supposed to have been finding out when she would be free to meet in person. I'm certainly glad we didn't book a damn ticket now. I'm glad she admitted the lack of interest I had been sensing; if she were interested in me, she wouldn't have taken a week to respond to my e-mails, no matter how busy she was. And if I were interested in her, I would have bothered to e-mail her since we spoke on the phone (although that was more of an "I don't really know what to say" thing followed by "All my parents want me to do is fly down and meet this girl").

I am 0 for everyone!

I told you! She's no good for you. Gimme your mom's phone number.

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

It's not really an averages sort of game.

This is the Patel community I referred to at dinner, btw.

Oh, yeah, I did read that article. I think I linked that here, actually!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

At my Dad's memorial I got a bunch of pictures from his wife.

I love this one of my Mom at age 13.

My sister Judy (working the hippie madonna look to perfection) and my nephew Chris.

I think I look oddly like Jodie Foster in this picture. (A rare picture of me from around age 11 or 12. With my nephew. I'm wearing my POW bracelet.)

But I turned out okay.

Cool shot of my Dad onstage in Under Milkwood. Dig that handlebar moustache! Early 70s, obviously.

Me in England, in the 80's, waiting for a train. I don't really remember looking like that. But I still have that leather jacket.

Compassionately intolerant

I don't think you look like Jody Foster, but you SURE look like Emmett in that shot with your cousin.

I'm so glad I popped in so I could say, Happy Birthday Hec. Many happy returns on your natal day.
