'Potential'
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.

Yeppers.
What they said.
The *g* does not excuse her statement to you. Definitely lashing out.
I don't think you were the obnoxious one in that exchange.
WHAT THE SMART GIRLS SAID. And who is it? Now I want to do some smacking.

Random thought for the moment:
Is "never" a contraction of "not ever"?
Thanks guys-- I mean, I know I was overreacting and had nothing to feel apologetic for, but like I said it startled me. And when I emailed back, "Uh... sorry?" she responded,
Sorry I was just LOL because every email you send starts with “Yes, I already saw that.” So I give up! You are the goddess of internet/pop culture! Will stop sharing boring, old stories. *g* Am lame, behind the times girl. Sigh.
Which, really? Didn't make me feel any better because again, I felt like she pointing out that I have all this free time she doesn't have and while she may not have meant it, it had the net result of making me feel like a futless loser.
Is "never" a contraction of "not ever"?
About 1000 years ago, it was: [link]
[Middle English, from Old English nǣfre : ne, not + ǣfre, ever.]
The etymology of never:
Middle English, from Old English nǣfre, from ne not + ǣfre ever
Barb, I think she was just being snippy and her half-assed apology doesn't excuse that. I'm on an yahoo group with friends who often link to stuff I've seen (mostly from here). They've never been bitchy with me because I say I've seen it.
