Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

[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.

Bless you Fay. I'm sorry for your loss at the same time I really understand not being close to family.

When my father's mother died, the only tears I shed were for the people who came to the funeral...those who had known her in her younger years before she turned evil. They had really cared for her, despite how awful she had been to them. Sympathetic amnesia can be so poignant.

I hope that you can do whatever completes your experience of her in this life. Nothing else really matters.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Fay, I'm really sorry to hear about your grandmother.

Shir, that sucks - the poor guy.

I'm really curious as to the background of "pulling" for picking up someone.

It gets used a lot. "I'm out on the pull" being one of the more delightful associated phrases.

{{Fay}} I get it. I'm another that was more upset for others than me. I think I get my fathers parents more now than I did as a child. And I am way more like my father's mother than makes any sense. Except that I find more humor in the way I behave. I know it is ridiculous to have rules about grill cheese sandwiches.

On sunday we pulled up a giant clump of whit irises. I put it on my local egroup telling people to come get it if they wanted it. 6 to 8 people said they wanted it. No one has actually bothered to come pick it up off the end of my driveway. So it will go on top of the green bin.

Now , if it had just sat there, whatever. But if they wanted it , why not come get it? Why email me and not bother to get it? Seriously, I live less than a mile from most of these people.

Email is easier than moving?

Fay, I hope your trip is a healing one. My thoughts are with you and yours.

Cute shoes, GC!

We have a new pizza place opening in our wee, historical downtown tonight that I hope I can convince my DH to try. I do not feel like cooking dinner.

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

Tell him you have a craving. What father-to-be can refuse his wife's pregnant cravings? Just an idea. Sounds better than "I don't feel like cooking".

Sparky, Vortex is wise. Take her advice.

I went through boxes and boxes of old junk jewelery today and organized them into boxes of keep and sell or salvage for the pretty beads. My back hurts. Can I haz nap?
