Thanks, Cass. Right back atcha. Trudy, I'm from Phoenix. That question reads like "Do I want indoor plumbing?" to me. Yeah. The cool kids(ha!) seem to like it.

"We also have these in tights."

Heh

Just watched Dr. Who 27x12.

I wish this was on in the US, so we could talk openly in Box Set. Tomorrow maybe enough will have seen it to discuss in whitefont.

And they keep coming wth the HoYay, too, for all you HoYay fans.

there are some serious spelling eerrors in there - I'll fix 'em tomorrow.

I planted squash, cucumbers, onion sets, potatoes, carrots, lettuce and some other stuff in my garden last Saturday.

Salad! Soon!

ION I am not mentally prepared to deal with Dr. Who HoYay.

I'm not mentally prepared to deal with The Doctor's sexuality at all, in fact.

Unless of course, Spike does confess to masterminding the whole demon egg thing.

Skipping some, because, drunk and tired and not generally processing things.

Man, my first day in NY was fun. Entering an MA program made almost exclusively of fairly gregarious people is a rather new experience for me, and led to a really fun evening. Hopefully, some of my new drinking acquaintances will eventually emerge into real friends - I have hope.

At least one of them could gladly emerge into more, in my dreams. But that's a fantasy for another time.

And now, bed. Good night, my lovely Bitches, I'll check in on you more thoroughly in the morning.

This is wise. He would just no longer be the Doctor.

P-C, I'm coming late to all this, but I just wanted to tell you about Bec's experience. Her parents tried everything to stop her marrying me, since I was the spawn of Satan or something. They even kidnapped her and wouldn't let her off the farm (and back to her job) until she'd agreed not to. They looked into trying to get her declared mentally unfit. When we went ahead with it anyway, they diswoned her. She went two years without any word from them, then another year or two when her mother would start shouting at her about half the time they talked, and for our entire marriage, things were dreadfully strained. When we had the miscarriage, her father's reaction was to treat it as no big deal. On 9/11, they didn't phone at all. They never checked if she was ok, and how she felt about it.

Now, understand that when she was growing up, Bec did everything her parents told her to. She had a large extended family, and growing up in a country area, it was a big part of her life growing up. When they cut her off, she lost all that, especially contact with her brothers, including her youngest brother and grandparents, whom she adored.

Please understand, you can take all this whichever way you want. The years after we first married were extremely traumatic for Bec (and me, by extension). She felt she'd lost her entire past. She's a very sensitive person, and suffered dreadfully. She also, thanks to the way her parents had brought her up, felt at the deepest level that it was all her own fault. (FWIW, I primarily blame them, and the crap they unloaded onto us at the outset, for the ultimate failure of our marriage.)

But today, Bec is (to me at least), a remarkably confident, outgoing, poised and assured woman. She is so much more than she could ever have been if her parents had kept her under their thumb. She's travelled around the world, she's got great people skills (she always did, really), she's just such a boon to anyone in her life. In short, she's come so far from a farm in Numbugga.

I don't want to suggest what you should do, you know your situation better than anyone. For Bec, I can say that going against her parents' wishes was the hardest thing she's ever done, and it took a long time to come to terms with it; but she also, I think, believes it was one of the best things she's ever done.

billytea, what a loving thing to do, posting that. I know you still have pain over this, and that must have been hard. It's also terrific perspective.
