I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

No, but phishing e-mails do that. Did you get an e-mail saying you needed to do something about your Paypal account?

Nope. It was when I typed paypal into my address bar and went to the site.

I think I remember having had to do that, Aims.

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

My grandfather was finally able to have all his medical tests today. He passed the kidney stones, and everything else is ok. I'm very relieved.

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

That's why I don't understand the urge to replicate his feat.

"The moment their arms spun freely in our air, they were doomed -- for Man has earned his right to hold this planet against all comers, by virtue of occasionally producing someone totally batshit insane."

Ooh, I just learned two weeks ago that when using quotation marks, while in Hebrew you'll exclude the period/whatever mark that's in the end of the sentence outside of the quotation marks, you don't do the same in English. Regarding that, I have only one question: WTF? I understand different grammar rules. I understand different languages. I do not understand these crazy assed monkey rules. No, really.

Oh, my mom's school did get stimulus $, so she'll still work there in the fall.

Shir, American usage is inside the quotation marks, British is outside. (Personally, I think I prefer outside.)

I shall not scream. I shall not scream. I shall not scream.

Thanks, Emily. Now, who do I have to kill to unify all those senseless rules? (Unless there's a good reason for them, which I can't see at the moment...)

Someone talk me out of flying to LA in two weeks for the weekend. Just found a price for $117, nonstop, roundtrip.
