Just heard from my mom--they made it to the rehab place safe and sound and Niece is signed in (it is a two-hour car ride away and I had horribly visions all morning of her jumping out of the car on the way). Aside from telling my brother it was his fault because he was a terrible father and she would always hate him it seemed to go okay. She is there for a month, and it's a really good place, so I hope it goes well.

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.
Glad she got checked in okay, Robin.
Good news, Robin. Strength to them all.
Good news, Robin. I hope everything goes well for her.
Strength to her and your family, Robin.
I hope everything goes well for her. The "I'll always hate you" speech is pretty standard, but I'm sure it wasn't any fun for him.
Love and strength to all of you, Robin. And, so scary and courageous -- just last night Hec and I were talking about friends and relatives of ours who have had to face similar demons, but who didn't have the family support or the courage to face them down for many, many decades. And some people never do it at all. An awful battle to face, but so very good that she's doing it now, before all those decades get taken from her.
Oh Robin. I'm glad she's there safely, but I know how horrid it must be to wait now. Strength to you and yours.
All best to Robin's fam. Yay! For AmyParker...I love to hear about people's dreams, maybe, coming true. And I feel like the weird lurker who somehow knows y'all,(I bet that is how visiting Baltimore will feel, too, once I finally go) but the muses are kind of at a dull roar today so I can pop in and out, I think.
If someone were hypothetically putting together a box of tiny baby clothes to loan to a hypothetical friend whose baby will be almost exactly a year younger, is a Sharpie on the tags a good way of marking them, or will that run in the wash and create black, inky mess?
