Welcome to the Soulful Spike Society Main Thread Part 1109. We do not confuse pretentiousness with inherent awesomeness.
Want some love for your amazing insights? Check out our I Love, Love, LOVE TV thread. We've even got show threads for Torchwood, Doctor Who, Dollhouse, and the ongoing Whedon 'fest that is the S3.
Want to enjoy some of our wonderful me-ness? Check out the The S3 Website! We've got fanfic, pretty pictures, and reviews. We're appropriately pleased with ourselves.
Spoilers? Have a weird smell when posted on the main board. Spoilers belong in the Spoiled Souls thread; if you want to talk about casting spoilers, the little ghosty button above is for you and if you want to talk about a show that just aired, please mark in BIG LETTERS.
Can't make it to DC but still want to restore sanity to discussions of politics, religion, or other touchy topics? Our Open Topics Thread is for you.
We appreciate your three-parts-of-Gaulness, your Kids-in-the-Hallness; hell, your just all-in-all-ness. Oh, and your patronage. Post away!

First! Great opener, Erin. "We do not confuse pretentiousness with inherent awesomeness." "Can't make it to DC but still want to restore sanity to discussions of politics, religion, or other touchy topics?" Hee! Glad you like it! I am SO wanting to go to DC. So does Mom. We're gonna see if it is actually possible. If so, I'll report for all the S'cubies.

<snipping the 'of course it's awesome' awesome welcome!> Yeah. What's up with that, anyway? Nasty tornado, Spring! What, no tornado sirens? Yeah - that's the way it is around here when it's close. Glad you and Nanucci are ok. Happy Birthday to Emily! Time does fly...Lucas will be 4 on the 20th. Festivities are tomorrow. I'm going up to watch the Husker game later today with Nick, who is currently cooling his golf spikes at his tournament while he waits for the storm to pass. Diane, sorry your grandson's procedure didn't give you guys an answer. One of the men I work with had many heart procedures and they still couldn't figure out the reason for the pain. Contracting esophogus, was the closest they could come to a diagnoses. Hopefully, they will figure out what is going on with your grandson soon, and that it's not anything serious. It's got to be so frustrating. Glad to hear Franklin is doing well, Julia! Love the Firefly story. 'Our' people are everywhere! Nice to see you, angelique! You should take a breather...get a 9 to 5 job. I sooooo want to go to DC on October 30th. How fun would that be?

Oh, and for the food poisoning, Rachael...did you try apple cider vinegar and charcoal tablets? I hear they work well. Lucas spent the night last night. He loves playing with my Beany Baby bear dracula, Baron Von Pyre. What is the appeal of vampires. He laughs and screams when the Baron tries to suck his blood! Maybe it's the accent.

Interesting pics from the storm - leveled Autotech Center, crumpled HS bleachers, etc. I am making scones. Yes, scones! Lemon ones. This is quite the "foreign occupation" for me - and I mean to use both meanings there: It's a job I'm unfamiliar with, and I believe I've been temporarly possessed by the soul of a Brit. They look pretty good, and are currently cooling off. But I'm not 100% sure what they are SUPPOSED to be like, so . . . I dunno. I watched some youtube vids, but people sure make them lots o' different ways. I'm not sure they are "raised" enough. They haven't risen as much as regular biscuits would. But they look as high as some pics of scones, and not as high as others. I did a wedge shape.

You should take a breather...get a 9 to 5 job. I sooooo want to go to DC on October 30th. How fun would that be? Yes, there were sirens. I remember noticing them briefly, but sirens during a storm . . . it just didn't grab my attention. I was simply not paying attention to my surroundings much. Big thunderstorms are nothing new, and I didn't notice the extra excitement. I have no idea what was going on in my head, really. Lucas sounds like SUCH a cutie. I am glad you are having fun with me. Ohio University is playing Ohio State today, so I can't lose! I will probably be watching that at noon. I can't decide which I want more: The fun and excitement of watching the Bobcats beat the Buckeyes (which would cause this town to go wild!), or if I want a good, fun game, but for the Buckeyes to preserve their perfect season. There is lots more to lose, for the Buckeyes, plus how are Monnie & I going to go to the National Championship game together if the Buckeyes lose? Oh well. It'll be fun to watch, regardless.

I tend to make scones that are denser, not the lighter fluffy kind. I hope they're yummy!

I am going to take a pic of them and post here - you can tell me if this looks right. . .

Me, as a Fed, I probably would be banned by various regulations from taking part--but you can count of moral support if I can find my morals. They might have gotten lost when I moved.

What is my Ian doing at your house? He loved scones and was an excellent cook! I miss his lemon chicken and his shepherd's pie. If you see him, send him home, okay?
