Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Yeah, little kids do like the lurch-back-face-smack trick. I bet that's a krav technique too for bearhugs from behind, 'cuz it really hurts.
Oh, the poor woman. Was she going to see a doctor? That's not good.
Yeah, her BF took her in (she's off insurance right now. He paid). She's on prednazone (sic?).
I saw your commute time from last night, Hec. All I can say is OHMYTHAT'SAWFUL.
It sucked. But it wasn't that stressful, because I pulled out of the line of unmoving cars, found a payphone, called EM, who had her BF pickup Emmett, and I collected him at that house.
Getting a good crack and feeling that kind of pain can bring anger as a knee-jerk response, I think.
Oh yeah, it's totally the adrenal rush. I'd get that all the time. You did the right thing - send the kid to the neutral corner until your body's fight response has settled down.
Cindy, that Nilly COMM about responsibility? What thread did that come from? And did someone tag it? 'Cause I want it so badly.
Anger is totally instintive. I can only imagine the kind of pain that it took to inspire some.
That's the nose breaker's birthday. Preggeat emptor.
BWAH! First he's a toddler Papillion, now he's a thug. Poor Chris.
Who do we have expecting?
The eldest of my two beloved (both younger) sisters is expecting 3/4. I'm getting very excited.
I also found out about a week ago that my sister came down with Bell's Palsey. She's fine, the baby's fine, but she's still recovering, and can't be put on recovery meds until after the baby is born.
My mom called me a few weeks ago to tell me this, and started out by talking about how she woke up with one side of her face numb and immobile.
I got very cross with my mother, and told her that in the future, she needed to START stories like that by saying, "Okay, your sister did NOT have a stroke...."
I think I'm going to talk to someone at the bank tommorrow just to find out if it would even be a possibility for me, but I don't know if it is a bad thing to do or not.
It's not a good idea, if you're going to keep using the credit cards. If you're going to pay them off, close off the accounts, or maybe keep one, but only for actual emergencies (preferably an American Express or another that has to be paid off monthly) it's good. That might even be a condition of the loan for the bank, Lilty.
ita, Cashmere, check. As soon as my tummy feels a little better, I'll be taking something.

Smart move. Still, three and a half hours from work to home takes it out of a person.
Oh man, little kid heads are like getting hit by a mace.
Yep. Shoulda laid off the milk while I was pregnant, Gud. Our kids have melonheads, too. When two of them bang heads by accident, either Scott or I invariably say, "CLASH OF THE TITANS!" under our breath, to one another, after the tears are over.

Isn't it great?
Oh yeah, it's totally the adrenal rush. I'd get that all the time. You did the right thing - send the kid to the neutral corner until your body's fight response has settled down.
Yeah, as much as the anger surprised me, I was pleasantly surprised that I had the presence of mind to say that, rather than holler at him.
I got very cross with my mother, and told her that in the future, she needed to START stories like that by saying, "Okay, your sister did NOT have a stroke...."
BWAH! It's like how three separate people thought I was either dead or in a coma after my accident. People really need to learn how to tell medical emergency stories with a minimum of trauma.
Sean, that is scary! Also, the good news does need to come at the BEGINNING of the call.
The eldest of my two beloved (both younger) sisters is expecting 3/4.
Heh. That's my birthday.
Oh, the poor thing with Bell's Palsy. That's one of those mystery conditions, I think. It just happens, I think. I think there are a lot of theories about it, but that's mostly what they are. And yes to your warning to your mom. Spoilers are sometimes very good and necessary.
My due date is 9/16.
You know the expression "seeing red"? Of course you do, who do I think I'm talking to anyway. Anyway, I find getting hit in the face, especially the nose, causes that to literally happen, along with the overwhelming anger.

YES! I was talking to my dad about this, and he said pretty much the same thing about my BiL, that he really needed to start the story by saying "Your daughter is (eta: AND the BABY is) FINE, however...."
