Ack, Robin. I don't know what to say besides I hope things turn out okay.
I laughed like a loon at K&H
At the raccoon and the cheetah and the Maria Quesa Dilla and the Katie Holmes' boobs and...
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

All is well that ends in pizza.
The discussion here also reminds me of:
Lucy is jumping rope when Linus asks:Linus: Do you ever pray?
Lucy: That's kind of a personal question, isn't it? Are you trying to start an argument? I suppose you think you're somebody pretty smart, don't you? I suppose you think. . .
Linus with his blanket, talking to Charlie Brown.
Linus: You're right . . . religion is a very touchy subject."

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Just reading Anne's painting posts makes me want to lie down.
I'm about ready to collapse. I think I'm going to run out and pick up the drywall patches, pick up something yummy for dinner, then come home and call it a day.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I hope your niece is okay, Robin. Not being able to do anything in situations like this is especially frustrating.

{{{Robin's niece}}} I hope you find the right words to say to the right people.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
There are places where you feel like all the things that happened there should have left some sort of psychic imprint--places like the Tower of London or concentration camps. I felt kind of a shudder at Dachau, but it's hard to know whether that was just because of what I knew. I felt a somewhat different shudder at the sign that said "Dachau McDonald's." I suppose you couldn't ask them to change the name of the town.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
If she's under 18, CAN she refuse the blood test? If she's using, the weight loss points to coke or meth...but the rest sounds like pot (although not the weight loss) and IMO teenagerhood, sulleness and pot go hand-in-hand.
Maybe it's not drugs as all, but an eating disorder?
I dunno.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Ugh, Robin I'm sorry. The classes and job thing probably make it worse because she's got something to, in her mind, prove she doesn't have a problem. I hope they can find a way to get her the help she needs.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Anne, that sounds like a good plan.
Robin, at least the therapist knows. That is worrisome. I hope the situation improves quickly.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh Robin. Hoping all the best for your niece. At least the family is aware of the problems and the probabilities and she's already getting help.
