No. And yes. It's always sudden.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.  

[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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

(I also, and this could be related to the face-punch reaction, could not date someone with a world view that didn't mesh with mine. YBMV, obviously, but if someone sent up anything that was a personal flag, I'd run like hell. I mean, I had a relationship that I knew wouldn't work out after our first date, because she was a dog person to the extreme. And I like dogs, but a dog person I'm not. She was a nice girl, but that was pretty much a deal breaker for me.)

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

OK, everything on the list is either in the suitcase or set aside for me to use tomorrow and then put in the suitcase. Dirty dishes are in the dishwasher. I went through the fridge and either froze or through out everything that won't last until I get back. There is one banana on the kitchen counter for breakfast tomorrow. Keys are in the pocket of the jeans I'm going to wear tomorrow. Cell phone is charging. Alarm clock is set for two hours before my train leaves. I found someone to water the plants in my office. Everybody in the math department who might need to reach me has been given the email address that forwards to my Blackberry. What else?

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

So, wait, I'm late to the party...

o_a's hot prospect is a Cougar neocon?

o_a's hot prospect is Palin?

Cause, you know, he didn't mean his ass, just some hot chick's.

Some new version of NIMBY?

NIMBE. Or NIMA.

All is well that ends in pizza.

As long as it's not NIMH.

Headline:

U.S. Bank sues Opus to recoup $78 million

Oh oh, I bet Steve Dallas has something to do with this.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Randomly, odd bit of disabled "access" I noticed today:

My favorite was stores with out automatic doors, before the punch plates were put in, would have signs that read something like, "If you're disabled and need our assistance, please let us know", only there was no way to easily get in the store if you're using a wheelchair.

How to make Cheap "wine" with Kool-Aid.

"It’s drinkable after about 2 weeks, but improves greatly after 3-4 weeks."

Define "drinkable..."

My co-worker says they used to do that with jugs of grape juice as a teen in Idaho. Don't think they used a pin on the balloon, though.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I loved that wedding video. I Have lots of positive vibes for a couple that was willing to work on that together.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

If you are as Christian as you say, why do you favor the rich so much? Wasn't there some story about a camel, and a needle eye, and better chances of passing that then a rich man passing the gates into heaven???

Well, that's why they have to favor the rich now - because the rich won't get much favor in the life to come. I really get a sick feeling thinking about someone who brags on her own lack of integrity being so insistent a church-goer, and even worse that she is a Sunday school teacher.
