That's a huge relief, Laura. It sounds like maybe she didn't realize that she'd slid back so badly into old patterns.
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

[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.

Our wings are not tired.
I am so relieved. It was scary to confront her that way. Now I just have to do the second part which is to help her stay focused on the positive and help find solutions for her real problems.

Ann, that's a ferret.
The conversation has moved on, but had to comment on this:
It's fun to count how many times Michelle Phillips mention's Cass' size.
Of course, Mama Cass Elliott had one of the great voices of the '60s. After the Mamas and Papas broke up, Michelle Phillips had -- a famous husband and a famous daughter.

Mostly lurking...
Laura, I'm glad things turned out so well.
{{{Deena}}}
{{{Susan}}} I totally get the failure thing. Actually, sometimes I wonder when reading your posts if we're not the same person (only, you're married with a baby, and I'm single... but, we seem to have similar thought processes). I have all the faith in the world, though, that you're going to work things out. You always do.
Timelies, everyone!
I was away from the board all of yesterday. Boy, did I miss it! Wednesdays I don't get any computer time at work, because I'm supervising the kids. It was kind of fun, though. I had to search a couple of the kids, which felt strange, but I know is necessary. But, mostly, we hung out and chatted, which was fun. Chore time was a little crazy, and I had a little run-in with one of the kids, but he decided not to test me on my first day. I'm sure that won't last, but...
Now I'm drinking my coffee (quickly) so I can get in the shower. I'm supposed to be at work at 10. Blech.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I thought Michelle Phillips was stunning looking when she was playing Captain Picard's old flame on TNG.

{{Susan}}You'll be okay. Annabel will be okay. You're life will change, and that's hard, but that's not failure.
Glad to hear about your sister, Laura! It's so cool when you go out on a limb to help someone and they actually accept the help.
Work is sounding good, vw, hope today is, too.

I hate this week and Semi-Annual Sales and retail and U-Hauls and people and lotion and conference calls.
Whew.
Kay. I'm done now.

Thrive to spite them
Susan, I'm sending you car~ma and also some piece of mind~ma.
And I'm throwing out a request for project~ma. I just got asked to do a project thing for something that's part of my responsiblities. It will be going to the department head (the Big Big Boss) so I'm a little nervous.

project~ma, askye
retail~ma for Lilty
I know everyone is dying to find out how my quest for laundry appliances is going. I realized that if I waited for my paycheck to bedeposited, I'd have more money to spend (duh!) and could get better machines. Today is direct deposit day, but Henry is already committed to installing his mom's fax machine, so I might have to wait until the weekend to shop.
