I marked the list of typical abuse bruises. Writers collect disturbing things.
Kaylee: Captain seem a little funny to you at breakfast this morning? Wash: Come on, Kaylee. We all know I'm the funny one.

[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.

{{{Nora}}} I'm so sorry, babe.
ION, I now have a pretty jar of "Hillbilly Bubble Bath." I damn well better get an A since this project has now cost me more than $20.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Because certainly there are people out there who get suspicious-looking bruises for totally innocuous reasons.
Yeah, I am that person.
Last spring when I saw my OB/GYN (she's very good about asking about domestic violence even if I have no bruises), I had a series of small round bruises on my arms and torso. She said "That's a lot of bruises....but unless you have a partner who is poking you really hard with their finger, over and over, it doesn't look like an abuse pattern."
I said, "Worse -- they're from a weapon."
I had taken up fencing 3 months earlier, and let me tell you, round bruises galore. Especially when you're as slow as I am.

Gronklies. The house is packed (except for the few things that I will need over the next few days).
My brain is very, very, very fried.
{{{Nora}}} I'm sorry to hear about the stressy family stuff.

People who have flown: Is there an end on the plane where you'd choose to sit over another? Back? Middle? (I'm a dork and booked all window seats because I want to see everything.)

Oh, I'm all over the window too, Lilty. Other than that, I couldn't really tell you.
