[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

ImememeNews:

The YMCA I emailed last week called me! I called them this morning and they hadn't gone through the resumes yet, but she called while I was on my way home tonight! Whooo! I really really want this job. Maybe it'll turn into something I could do full time!

Gud. I have no words, love. Strength and patience to you.

Owen's eyes are exactly like Cash's.

I'm being an armchair psychiatrist here, Gud, but your wife sounds like she's severely depressed. Is she taking anything?

Coding and Sleeping

Yep, she's taking stuff (I know the stuff and the dosage, but I feel weird posting that).

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Gud, I'm so sorry things are so rotten right now.

I apologize for my own whining -- bad timing on my part.

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

If people just stopped *needing* things from me, there'd be no problem

Ah, see, I'm my problem. I need too many things from me, and that sets off a chain reaction I can't quite control, and can't quite pull out of.

People stopping needing things from me would be nice, but it'd be stopgap, at best. I need to learn to take care of myself properly, or someone to step in and pick up the slack for just a little while. Uhuh, right.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yikes, Gud. She stopped paying and didn't tell you? Can you talk to her spiritual guide at her church? I mean, this puts your kids at risk, which is really scary and does sound like depression.

Gud, I hate to pile any worse news on you, but I'd start looking for credit cards you don't know about. Seriously, I've seen someone lose his house, his car and have to take out massive loans because of the wife's spending habits. Loans he's still paying off, even though they're divorced. I hope you don't find any, but it's so easy to conceal that kind of thing.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

{{{Gud}}} I hope you find some peace soon.

La Tep, no punctuation, but here's to a little equilibrium.

Art Crawl!!!

Are secret credit cards the sort of thing that Gud could find by getting a copy of his credit report?

Gud -- I'm sorry things have been this crappy. I hate being in that situation -- bills late etc. Of course, when I do it, it's all my own fault.

Gud, you probably should get credit reports on your and her SS#s. At least they will tell you if there's something else out there that she hasn't paid. (Free credit report site - [link]
