Actual mothers will probably disagree with my revelation.
Not me. I birth 'em, they raise themselves with outside guidance by me. The whole point of the exercise is to give them the tools to become themselves.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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.

If I only had a brain...

Now tagless for your comfort.
Oh, I found out where we picked up our virus. The lady running our Romper Room class informed me that all three of her kids were getting over a "vomiting stomach virus" from last week. D'OH!
I'm putting Owen in a bubble. He can come out when he's 16.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm putting Owen in a bubble. He can come out when he's 16.
At which point he'll die of a common cold.
IJS.

Happy Birthday, Laura!
There was something else, but I forgot it. So, if I should have commented on something that you said, consider it done.

Yeah, the bubble's probably out. At least this way, he'll be resistant when he gets to kindergarten.
Kids are petrie dishes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
At which point he'll die of a common cold.
But if he doesn't die, it'll make him stronger.
Wait, I guess that's an anti-bubble argument.

The wide universe is the ocean I travel, and the earth is my blue boat home
The PM mainfesto doesn't bother me, exactly. It's very "some people juggle geese" to me (and thanks to juliana for the phrase -- what's it from?) I couldn't live that way, but if you're so inclined, it sounds like a peaceful and gentle life.
I found some freaky things clicking on other links on that site, though. A debate over whether college educations are appropriate for women, claims that women shouldn't vote, etc. Which upsets me very much on behalf of these women's daughters.

Wishing a happy birthday and a non-hurting arm to Laura!

I've been entering all of my music into iTunes and playing the music in alphabetical order by songs. I just heard Heartbreak, Heartbreak Road, Heartbreak Town and Hellow Mr. Heartbreak. Do I listen to country, or what?!

Our wings are not tired.
Thanks for the good wishes all. I plan to medicate the arm with a bottle of red wine from Argentina that a friend from said country just dropped off. Also got an email from the man I divorced 21 years ago...
You didn't really think I had forgotten, did you? Hell, I enjoy this day more than Christmas now. But I didn't get you anything - and I don't intend to until you get over this silly shit, and come home!
Still glad I divorced him, but he does amuse me.
