Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
DRINKING WITH NEIGHBORS IS AWESOME. the end. (esp. when Nora is a neighbor)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
While I get how that would be fascinating, my hindbrain is shrieking right now. Aren't huntsman spiders huge? (I can't believe I'm asking that. DO NOT GIVE ME PICTURES OR LINKS. Just tell me yes or no.)
This wasn't a terribly large one, but still maybe 4 cm across with the legs extended. The wasp was bigger, getting towards 3 cm long I'd say. (Nonetheless, it would have certainly triggered an arachnophobe alert.)

Yep, Pete's is totally my happy place. Except for how the jukebox played Billy Joel's "The Stranger" instead of Prince's "Darlin Nikki".
ALSO OMG YOU GUYS I FOUND OUT THAT SMONSTER HAS NEVER SEEN PURPLE RAIN.

WHAT. How can anyone have lived through the 80s and not seen the glory that is Purple Rain?!?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I have never seen Purple Rain either. I don't know how it happened. I have no excuse.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We are second on the list. we call in on Sunday to see if she's ours. SUCH a sweetie. We were really impressed with the Pasadena Shelter and we will go back there to find a pup even if this one doesn't get to come home with us.

Our wings are not tired
We had a great experience with the Pasadena shelter. That's where we adopted Seamus, our black kitty.
We got Kaylee from Westside German Shepherd Rescue, another awesome rescue group.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
huntsman spiders look like daddy long legs (and some folks use the names interchangeably). Itty bitty bodies.
eta: um, i was really wrong and thinking of harvestmen. A quick google search indicates that Australian huntsman spiders are very very large. not at all what i was imagining. DO NOT GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH

Power back after long outage. No internet or TV. Radio run seldom to conserve battery. Also snow was bad enough that there was no mail, paper delivery, or trash pickup. Which also meant driving my car, nicknamed by friends "the rollerskate" was not a good idea. Bad time to find out our wood stove was broken, so no heat. House was well enough insulated that first day without heat only dropped to 55, though by second day was down to 45. Reading by flashlight not really a lot of fun with bad eyes.
On the plus side, plenty of food. And while our gas oven does not light manually, the burners on top of the stove do. So we could cook. To keep food cold, I made "snow packs" by double bagging snow in garbage bags. Kept refrigerator and freezer cold enough that neither even cycled when the power came back on until I took the snow packs out. Now 40 and raining, so snow should wash away.
Just before the snowpocalypse hit, local rag (The Olympian) boasted of how ready for the storm local government was with a headline of "Bring it, Mother Nature". I winced even at the time. Apparently part of me is superstitious enough to believe that was asking for it. That bit of irrationality may have gotten a bit reinforced.
