Spike ,'Same Time, Same Place'
[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.
{{Cashmere}} I just caught up enough in the last thread to read about Michael. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry the funeral included justifications. They were probably comforting to some of the mourners, as bad as they were for you.
And that sucks that your husband will miss Owen's 1st birthday. It's just wrong. His employers should understand that, dammit.
Though sharing a crankyshirt with juliana sounds pretty fun.

I'm sure it's the only thing helping some people deal. I just found the polical propaganda that seeped into the event distasteful.

I get that. I find that sort of thing upsetting even when I'm not personally involved.
Oh, urk. Sorry, Cash.
Of our two friends that died in Iraq, both died in roadside ambush/IED attacks. Totally stupid and pointless in my opinion and very frustrating. However, I know their families took comfort in the "he died serving his country/protecting freedom" thing, although there's really no way I can totally believe that.
I guess I ended up looking at it like this: (I've thought about this a lot, probably to protect myself) Everyone in our military was a volunteer who chose to serve their country. That in itself is an honorable decision. The nature of one's death doesn't change the quality of how they chose to live.
However, when I hear someone say "We have to stick this out to honor those who have died" or some other bullshit like that, I just walk away before I say something I might regret.
I'm very sorry about Michael's death and I hope his family can find some peace.
Oh, Cashmere, what an awful week. I'm so sorry.
"We have to stick this out to honor those who have died"
Those arguments have been used before. They put a lot of names on a wall in D.C.
Timelies.
Cash, sorry for the suck. I wish I had some nice thing to say that would make it all better.
Susan, I don't know if you get the Little Details community, but someone there linked to a werewolf myth website, [link] The page howls at you when you first open it, but then there's no more sound.
Hi Deena! I thought of you, becase I was allowed to watch HouseHunters on HGTV again last night. Hee! How goes the home improvement? How are the babies?
The babies are good. The improvements are.... going. I love my new curtains. They're actually silky shower curtains with a bed canopy/scarf as sheers. It looks really cool.
