I would be there right now.

[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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm sorry Gud. (ETA, re the bummed thing. Your ladder issues seem perfectly reasonable to me.)

We have the most adorable new intern! I just met her doing filing things. She has long hair that starts off blond, and about halfway down goes into a mix of hot-pink and pure black strands. So nifty. She's wearing old jeans with a sparkly belt. And I saw a drawstring bag that was a patchwork of pink and white gingham and black squares with white skulls near where she was working that I'm certain is hers.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Gud, you've been under a *lot* of domestic stress, lately. Are you seeing a counselor or anybody that you can talk to about all this? Is there any possible time you can take off from your job, housework, and child care for yourself, to see a professional?

I think you're dealing remarkably well with all the stresses your family is going through. But I also think you need to be able to talk about your frustrations and disappointments with someone who's not going to be partisan or judgemental, who will let you say what you feel like saying and not make value judgements. And who may just be able to give you some new coping skills. Because it sounds to me like you're dealing with an awful lot, and because I think a lot of you, I urge you to find the time, and somebody to talk to about all this.

Herding cats for fun

I feel Gud's ladder pain. I have to climb up onto the roof one more time myself.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Is there any possibility you should maybe take the meds at a different time of day?

I am taking it in the morning to avoid the insomnia problem, but it isn't helping so far.

I may have not been paying close enough attention to catch that change, sumi.

I have gotten te water turned on at my new place and it only took two hours of standing in line! On my supposedly one hour lunch break. Fun!

Art Crawl!!!

Ah, I found it -- by a WXer based on the fact that we have just assumed that he was her lover.

They have said on the show that he loved her -- but not that he is her lover.

Everything else, we have filled in.

Possibly too subtle for DH.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

BTW, I got an email back from my Saturday bride this morning, and I think we're OK. She didn't mention the art issue, but responded to questions from later in the email, so I know she must've read the whole thing. I guess she's finally reached the point where she realizes there's no way to make everything perfect, and that the important thing is that she's getting married and having a celebration for family and friends.

Now I just have to figure out what to do about the fact she's expecting 350 people. That's less that we fit in on Easter, but for a wedding you don't have 30 people in the choir, you can't put chairs in the center aisle, etc.
