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.

[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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

It's warm - highs in the upper 80s predicted - and sticky outside. Inside? about 65. I'm freezing - I'm wearing a light linen jacket and have my office sweater over my lap, but I'm still freezing. Hot coffee isn't much help. We've tried to get the building management to turn down the AC, but seemingly the people on the upper floors get hot.

I need some Buffistas to snuggle with.

Between my office, and the office next to mine there is often a 10 degree difference, and my coworker will end up wearing fingerless gloves while he waits for building services to come and tell him they don't think anything is wrong with the system.

Thinking of of my office, I really need to go through and find not-maternity clothes to wear when I go back to work in 2 weeks. That's going to be one frustrating trip through the closets.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My office is a little chilly, but nothing unbearable. (Although I'm wearing sandals, and my toes are cold enough that I'm seriously thinking about getting my gym socks from my workout bag that's in the car.)

ION, I've had "Off the Wall" stuck in my head for 3 days now. Enough!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I'm a bit warm right now, but that's just because I just came in from outside and it's stuffier in here than out there. I'll turn my desk fan off in a few minutes once I acclimate.

But, I am feeling a bit blargh today, so I might ask my boss if I can leave early. I think I'm going through pre-menopause, because just this morning, I started my first period since mid-March, and I'm going through mega-cramps, the runs, and accompanying nausea. Yay.

At least I haven't had any hot flashes yet.

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

I think I would have to have the Blue Willow.

Yeah, that one caught my eye.

I'm going to get this one for the iPod.

Trust my rage

Thinking of of my office, I really need to go through and find not-maternity clothes to wear when I go back to work in 2 weeks. That's going to be one frustrating trip through the closets.

I found that even when I reached my pp weight, I was still a different shape. Weird.

I am hiding from the packers in my air conditioned bedroom. The down stairs is almost done; they are finishing the kitchen now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh, happy belated b-day, Hec?

It is belated, right?

Is "belated" the only form of "belay" that gets used anymore? (Except "belay" is used in the military, right?)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I found that even when I reached my pp weight, I was still a different shape. Weird.

Yeah, me too. I needed all new shoes too - my feet swelled up like little inflatable rafts and are now a full half-size bigger than my pre-preg feet were.
