Susan, what is up with dh. Go knit yourself would just be my preface.
Or maybe, "Knit off!" or "Knit you, motherknitter!"
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Because books.
Learn to knit yourself, DH.
My mother started knitting last year and looooves it. She was convinced she could teach me over the summer. "It's easy! You'll see!"
Ten minutes into it I wanted to commit bloody, savage murder on anyone within striking distance.
The flesh-eating bacteria made me shudder, all over. Your poor Big!Boss, Teppy! I hope he gets through this all right.
And I really wish I could drag the whole family out to be tested for Strep A right now.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
My husband has become obsessed with me learning to knit.
I picked it up a few weeks ago. I got a kit thing from Walgreens. I like it because it's the kind of thing Kyan (I know, I know) was talking about- mindful meditation. Being exactly involved in just what I'm doing. Also it's fun when my friends ask what I've been doing, and I say "Knitting!" and they go "No, but really."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I crochet, but I don't like knitting. I've tried and it drives me bugfuck. And, I actully like to crochet.

Our wings are not tired.
I couldn't read the muffin site.
Oh yeah, I didn't touch that link. I get enough crazy making stuff without seeking it out.

What is even happening?
I like knitting. I would just bristle at my husband suggesting a hobby for me, particularly more than once.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's weird, Susan. I mean, pretty patterns on that site, but if you don't knit, well, why?
I didn't get very far into the muffin site. Reading the excerpts has made me glad I didn't persevere.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Susan, what is up with dh. Go knit yourself would just be my preface.
He thinks it'd help me relax. In fairness, he's never actually seen me try to do anything craft-related and therefore doesn't know that the reason I avoid it is it's so much the reverse of relaxing for me.
I did email him back and tell him to learn to knit himself if he's so convinced it's the best hobby EVAH.

Coding and Sleeping
To me, anyone who insists that the 7 days in the Genesis creation story equals a period of seven 24 hour days, is importing information into the text
Oh, the argument in the book does a LOT of stretching both in Biblical interpretation and science to make the case. I though it was interesting in that I hadn't heard anyone use time dilation that way, but it was really unconvincing.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Doing something I have no inclination to do always helps me to relax. Or possibly it's the killing that follows.
