Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.  

[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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I am completely inept at dealing with my mother.

I think most of us are. {{{Nora}}}. Also, what Trudy said.

I am a complete idiot. I wasn't scheduled to work today. I transposed Friday and Saturday for Thursday and Friday. So, I ended up getting some errands done instead.

Always Anti-fascist!

In mothers I am fortunate. NSM with Dear Old Dad. It's hard even if we are both working at it.

move out and draw fire

Puppies! Squirrel!

SO CUTE! But also, kind of a The Fox and The Hound thing going on...except, they're Papillons, so they won't ever hunt a thing.

ND, your mother calls you at work?

Is that a normal mother thing to do?

My mother calls me constantly. When I was at Borders I told her she had to stop calling me or I was going to get fired. It was the only thing that made her stop.

yeah, I hate it. I don't think it ought to be a normal mother thing to do...

but, in her defense, she's been trying to get in touch with us and we've not been home (on site at a conference) I got her out of the habit of calling me when she would call and I would be total bitchcakes to her, this past spring/summer.

I think this call may have put it back there.

I tried that at one point. It just makes my mother call back to apologize for call.

Punishingly Intricate

Yikes! Have you preemptively told her you can't get personal calls at your new job?

My mom calls me at work on rare occasions but she is not the parent I have issues with. (And I'm very lucky, I know, because my issues with my dad have not been that big. He just gets on my nerves sometimes.)

Well, now I have a cellphone. I shut it off at work and get the messages from my mother when my shift ends.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Jilli, I mailed your package with the goth video collection.

Should be there in a couple days.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I just randomly checked an email address I haven't used since August.

Good thing that e from my mother was only a week old.
