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.
The money is the result of a malpractice settlement, not life insurance.
Oh. Sorry for the mis-info.

Thanks for the link, Betsy -- that article laid it out really well.
A wrenching, horrible situation, but a better outcome than anything that this case will bring.
Sounds like it. How sad.
From the MSNBC article tommyrot linked to...
David Gibbs, the attorney for her parents, said.... [snip] “The family is prayerfully excited about their daughter going before the United States Congress for the whole world to see how alive she is," he added.
So many things about this comment repulse me. Whether or not she is "alive" isn't the issue. She's plainly alive. Moss is alive, but that doesn't make it a life a person would want to live.
But more importantly, the crass politicization of any and all religious language ("prayerfully excited...") that has seeped into, it seems, every aspect of our lives, fills me with utter revulsion.
I'm sorry, Nora. You are not the only one, Minister. I didn't sign on for life in fucking Gilead, yo.

My thoughts exactly. Is "prayerfully" even a fucking word?
