Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Spike's Bitches 24: I'm Very Seldom Naughty.  

[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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

As far as the few important things, where does she live? (you can backchannel that if you wish) Maybe one of us could help you nab the cradle or something.

She lives in Cleveland, Ohio, on the west side. I'm not sure how anyone else would be able to help, she doesn't answer the phone, so I can't call her and say, "some of my friends are coming, please let them have my cradle". Although the idea of Buffista Black Ops team going in is making me smile, I'd advise wearing haz-mat suits, and bring drugged doggie treats for their "Oh, we're going to have to move to an appartment soon, let's get a _big_ dog" very large dog.

And yeah, Trudy, it doesn't have to be forever. I have given Daniel's addresss and phone number to all of my sibs, so if she calls here to find I'm gone, then calls them, they can give the info to her.

Hang out with us a bit and tell us the last thing you knit.

Problem is, I haven't been knitting anything lately.

But, I do get my hair cut tomorrow.

Well, you cheered me up, at least. Make sure wear that good lipstick tomorrow too.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Windsparrow, you want to send me her address and/or phone number? I'm on Cleveland's west side. I could at least see what I could see.

{{{Anne}}} I'm sorry. I've been wracking my brain trying to think of gender bending things I want to see in a fic but my brain refuses to wrack.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

{{{Anne}}}

{{{WindSparrow}}}

We go back to Seattle tomorrow afternoon. It's been a good visit for the most part, though Mom and I did manage to bicker a bit toward the very end. Over Japanese war crimes committed in WWII (I'm not denying they happened, nor that they were horrible; it just doesn't alter my broadly positive opinion of present-day Japan--if I hated every country that had ever committed a war crime, I don't think I'd have any countries left to like.) and whether Thomas Jefferson was too much of a Francophile. We're a very strange family.

Mom and Dad deliberately chose not to call and ask about his test results--they'll find out next week when he goes in for another round of chemo. I think they figured that if there's bad news, they want to deal with it on their own, and have all their West Coast kids back on our own turf before we have to deal with it. So I still don't know anything.

{{Anne}} That's a bummer. I find the brains of companies that hire good temps and then dump then totally incomprehensible.

{{WindSparrow}} How much longer is you mother in the house? Could you write her a letter and let her know that someone will be coming by to pick up some stuff? I'm sad to think you'll have to do without your treasures. The same thing happened with my daughter and it always burned my gut that her aunt and uncle were so cheap, not only did they not send her stuff to her, but they sold it all in a garage sale.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Forever is too hard. And (true or not) can feel too mean. Her siblings can find you and that can be good enough.

I have a dear friend with a similar mother. In my friend's mind, her mom is sitting on a couch in the corner. Whenever it's too painful or she misses her mom or something sparks a memory she'll say "she's on the couch. she's over there on the couch." Her mother may never rejoin the party of my friend's life and that is her choice. Sometimes my friend will glance over and wish her Mother well and that has to be enough for now.

All is well that ends in pizza.
