[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.

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

Thanks for the tips!

But I've also heard that for cars, it may be best to just handle the small stuff yourself, and only submit claims for the expensive stuff.

It's even worse for homeowner's insurance. They will almost assuredly drop you for actually making claims.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

You guys. I'm so petrified from this test.
Shir, don't be. You are BRILLIANT! You are wonderful. You will kick ass! And then you will be all happy. Focus on the happy. Be happy that you are taking the test.

With the new Ryan photo's, I must say, this is a great family shot: [link] Also, bt, your mother-in-law smiles with her whole face, and I think that is wonderful! I wish more people were that happy.

ION- my boss finally got his ass't boss position back. And the guy they hired, is AWESOME! He understands technical things. He is going to make things happen! Yay for change!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Aw, Teppy, that was a wonderful story and photo. Sniffly over here.

I just got back from the funeral, which was hard. My stepdad gave the eulogy, and he was calm and non-teary until the end, at which point he lost his shit, which made everyone else lose their shit.

After the eulogy, the pastor invited other people to share a story or say a few words, and no one else seemed inclined to do so, so I hopped up and told the story about them dancing at the wedding reception. My stepdad's mother was really pleased I told that story.

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.

Teppy, hairpats or vibes, or hugs, or whatever kind of comfort you want now. Hmm, maybe just sitting quietly, passing the tequila. I'm glad you did share that memory - it's a wonderful one.

Shir, listen to omnis, he is wise. You are going to be just fine with this test.

“Not dead yet!”

Barb, have you seen this?

I'd seen the Sweethearts, but not the chocolate. I wonder if this means that Godiva will quit with their merchandising tie-in? Probably not.

I don't know why the Harry Potter tchotchkes never came anywhere near twigging me as badly as the Twilight stuff does, except that so much of it played off things that were mentioned in the books whereas the Twilight stuff is more "Hey, let's take this random item and slap something sparkly on it!"

That, and my inherent hatred of the books to start with.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Oh, Teppy. Windsparrow is wise. This is hard

And guys, I hope you're right. I just have the tendency of doing really stupid marginal mistakes.

ION, if my parents will move to the place my dad told about it's gonna be perfect.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

And now I'm just tired and stomach-hurty and want to go home and go to bed. But I came back to work because I'm a Good Worker Bee.
