[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.

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

My CSer brought me coffee. From Starbucks.

She'll never know how much that means. I was trying not to jump up and down while giggling "this is the place all of my e-friends are talking about! It's really from there! It IS a small world!".

Not crazy.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm enamored of the Trosky's ashes story but I think if there was any truth to it it would have been reported in the news media.

All is well that ends in pizza.

My favorite donut-based donuts, in no particular order, but off the top of my head, subject to later revision, and now mostly in the past due to Diabetes:

- Custard filled, chocolate frosted Jelly Donut type, sometimes called "Bavarian creme" filled.

- French crullers, but only those done right, where it's a light pastry-type, and preferably dipped in a rim of chocolate icing, but I'd eat 'em plain or with white icing.

- I had a custard-filled french cruller once.

- Maple-iced bavarian-filled long johns. Sometimes with nuts sprinkled on top.

- A properly-made Eclair.

- A properly-made Apple Fritter, where the apples and cinnamon create a flavor explosion in your mouth.

- A properly made raised donut of the type called "Old Fashioned" where the dough bursts apart on the top and if they put enough nutmeg and spices in the batter

The chocolate filled one Andi was talking about sounds good...

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

My aunt just went into induction of labor. This will be my 12th cousin (my mom has 5 siblings).

I had to count 3 times, and I hope I remember everyone.

The status is NOT quo.

Hee. I have that problem, too, Shir. On my dad's side, I have 8 cousins and...hold on, counting...those cousins have a total of 13 kids. On my mom's, I only have one. She's about to turn 18, so no kidlets for her, thank goodness.

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

All of these 12th cousins are on my mom's side. Ages 30 something (I think) to... well, soon one day old (the one after her is 2, I think).

My dad has two sisters, but none of them had (yet?) children.

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

I only have one first cousin, but a ton of second and third cousins.

I don't even know how many kids my cousins have. Only two of the four of them have kids- we're just not close.

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

I only have 5 cousins on my Mom's side of the family, but due to the way our property in Canada is distributed, I'm more often than not counting all the 2nd cousins too. (The original house was owned by my great-grandfather, then split up among my grandfather and his two brothers, and so on. Now four generations down, the house is owned by 23 cousins. No wonder branches of the family keep splitting off and building their own cabins...)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I'm still waiting on news from my cousin in Canada who is a week overdue. I have 7 first cousins and between them, they have 11 kids who are my second cousins (right?). This baby will be my 2nd third cousin. Yikes!!!

In other news, K-Bug is back in California. I probably won't see her again until July. sniff.
