I'm subscribed to cooksillustrated.com, Raq, as is Kat. I do it for the recipes. They've all worked very well for me.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?
Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
In effect I am initiating a conversation where I will have to take a full blast of critcism and then get past it.
God. I'd rather have to have my ear glued.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
God. I'd rather have to have my ear glued.
It seemed better than a stroke.

I know. I was honestly empathizing, in a weird way.
Yeah, strokes are not good. I hope this meeting helps.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I'm all about "Well, I don't have a sense of humour about that, anyway."
This is what I do. Of course, there's one person that I said that to and he responded sarcastically with "Because you're a sensitive, unique snowflake". I stared at him and said "No, because I have social skills and can tell the difference between slightly barbed wit and being a prat."
In effect I am initiating a conversation where I will have to take a full blast of critcism and then get past it. So fun.
Ew. I hope it works out for the best.

Heh. My standard response to that sort of thing is "Damned right I'm sensitive. Don't make me kick you in the nuts."

This urchin would be vastly improved if he was continually doubled-over in pain.

Herding cats for fun
I once worked with a guy who would say dreadfully nasty things and then claim it was all a joke, we were too sensitive, we didn't have senses of humor, etc etc.
I'm afraid I took him down in front of everybody one day when I snapped that I thought adding "it's a joke" didn't make him any less an asshole and that we were all really looking forward to the day he transferred out. He couldn't say nuthin and the rest of us were happy until he left to make the other store miserable with his managerial skills.
~ma for extraordinary verbal skills and the power of righteousness for the meeting with the manager.
