If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Oof. Just got home from getting my hair cut and colored (very rich red and shortish layers--love it). Called my mom because it's the anniversary of my dad's death only to find out that my niece--the 17-year-old one who has been causing everyone so much agita--is going into rehab. My brother flew back from Holland and is driving her to some really expensive place two hours away. They think she's using meth, kind of amazing since she is still getting straight As in all AP classes. My cousin is going along with my brother on the ride for support. They have been friends since they were born and are both recovering alcoholics, so rehab is not a scary thing, so that's a blessing. But my poor bro and SiL. I feel so bad for them. Don't need hugs, because I think this is the best thing, I just feel bad.

is this the same niece that was suspected of having an eating disorder?

sending out good wishes to her and her parents.

Same one, Nora. And thanks.

The status is NOT quo.

One of my students came after school today to talk to me about her piece for the next creative writing class. It was about her bulemia, and I wanted to hug her and cry throughout the whole conference. I had to settle for gentle support and a calm voice. It was hard.

Robin, I'm so sorry. That's a lot to deal with.

What is even happening?

If it's okay with you Robin, they'll be in my prayers. I hope this rehab is sticky for her. She has so much going for her, and is so lucky to have family that caught onto her illness, before it was too late.

How are you feeling, Robin?

I'm worried and don't like being so far away. I am so glad she is getting treatment, but I feel bad for my brother--the two hour ride to the place on Thursday is going to be hellish. She's like her dad, very smart, very intense, very competitive but also very vulnerable, so it's gotta be hard on both of them.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Robin, best wishes for your niece and her family. I know what it's like to be far away from someone with that sort of problem and it's painful to not be able to be right there with them. Just getting her into rehab is a big step towards recovery and I hope it works out for them.
