Awwww! That's the nicest thing I've heard all day.
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
sj, I'd love a quick game. I can only do one, though; there's sanding and scraping that needs doing.
Anyone else?

I know others have the right to the vigils. Beyond husband, he is son and brother. But I prefer to sit alone. My strength is a silent thing, like mountains. I want no Virgil on my journey, no one I must prop up, no one for whom I have to put on a happy face, who cannot cope with the cold stillness which gets me through this.
To escape Inferno you must go into its heart. In the end, everyone makes that trip alone. I prefer to have no companions who need lied to.

connie, that's really powerful, but there's a word missing, or off:
I prefer to have no companions who need lied to.

If I only had a brain...
who need lied to.
That stumbled me, too, but I think it's a regional dialect issue. I'd say "need lying to", but I think "need lied to" is the preferred usage in parts of the Midwest, for instance.

It is?
Cool! Noted. Sorry, connie - I hadn't come across that before.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
With people I've known who've used both, "This needs fixed" is more time-urgent than "This needs fixing." It's an economical way of saying "This should have been fixed long before now." Similarly for Connie's "need lied to"; I read it as more strongly stated than I would read "need lying to," or even "need to be lied to."
Edited to add: Connie, that's a heartbreaker. Lovely stuff.

Connie, that's a wonderful drabble. All of the drabbles are making me teary eyed today.
