Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!  

[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.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Susan, or others: I have a job to illustrate 6 characters, 5 men and 1 woman, from 1849. A couple of the men are British Navy. Any idea for websites that would provide visual references for clothes and hairstyles?

Hmm, Raq, that's a bit out of my era. If it was 1812 I'd be all over it, but most of my favorite costume sites really are that specialized. I'll poke around and see what I can find.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I must admit, I didn't think he'd stay in treatment for the whole 30 days but I was selfishly hoping he'd get through at least the weekend what with the whole 30-40 people at an all-day beach party and bonfire to celebrate the niecelet's 16th... Fuck, the potential for drama is just palpable.

Why does stress lead me to write magnificently running on sentences with inadequate punctuation?

Antabuse
Thank you! My brain kept coming up with Accutane which it damn well knows is the wrong, if acne-free, name.

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

Yeah, there's just nothing selfish about that whatsoever.

And this is his second try. Apparently he did detox after a binge-y Fourth of July which stuck until just over a week ago. I really wish he'd stayed inpatient a while longer. It worries me that he didn't. Relapses might be part of recovery but thou shalt not fuck with my family, especially the shorter members, or I shall gut you with a spork.

I'm worried about the short stay myself in regards to your sister drawing the damn line in the damn sand.

"You're not coming back into this house until you've been in rehab 30 days" seems reasonable and I thought that's what the deal was.

sighhhhhh

Oh Cassiepants...

It was. She wants to keep her family together and I get that. I just don't know if that is the best thing for her family because I don't see him getting a real ephiphany in four days (max, as I don't know when he left treatment but he went in Tuesday) and realizing that he can really never drink again.

Yeah, that would be a pretty quick epiphany.

And the 'NoBooze' or whatever its called seems... redundant for a guy who freakin' RISKS HIS DIABETIC LITTLE LIFE by drinking at all.

Your poor sister. I know this isn't easy and there may well BE no "right" way to do it at all.

Always Anti-fascist!

So sorry all y'all bitches are having a hard time today. "That's the trouble with this job. Ain't got nothing to do with life." Know you're in my thoughts today.

Fay,

Life seems to have treated me with unexpected kindness on the job front - although I guess it could just be that they're hiding their evil rather better than the last guy.

My vote is the unexpected kindness is long coming and heard earned.

And thanks for the job~ma. I'll know by the end of the day Monday and I'm having a hell of a time figuring out what the hell to do.

I'm getting the pig!

{{{Cash and family}}} So awful, sweetie. I hope everything goes as well as it possibly can. Miracle would be nice.

My brother was on antabuse once. After a few weeks he started testing how much alcohol he could get away with drinking without getting violently ill. That was fun.

Sail, if you're still around, skip the store. You can buy them here. Just worry about making it to the airport on time so I can seeeee you!
