Happy Successful Surgery Birthday, Jilli!
Just keep walking, preacher-man.

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.

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

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
That couch potato pic is cute!
Dylan, I spotted you walking down Pacific two days past, when we were turning around so that Paul could go fetch his phone from his office. (There was no time to do that usually pointless and confusing to the person on the street window rolldown and shout, however.)

I sense a new Lady of the Manners article. "How To Properly Attire One's Surgical Area"
"How to take advantage of the perfect Gothy accessory without grossing out your friends."

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Happy Birthday Jilli!
I hope you have a quick recovery and enjoy your birthday celebrations this weekend.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That seems alarmist to me, but then again I'm not part of the world the article describes. Are things really that bad?

It seemed both alarmist and poorly researched, vague about when exactly this shift took place, and failing for some things (later marriage and moving from home) to look at factors other than parental smothering. As one who moved late from home, as did my spouse, I can attest that in our case and the case of most of my friends, it really was the economy, stupid.
There were good points in there, but they were smothered by sensationalism.
As for cutting, the new epidemic, well... err, I'm 31. Most of my friends in real life are my age or slightly older. We came of age/went to high school in the late 80s/early 90s. Cutting wasn't talked about/discovered/to be watched for yet, but large numbers of us cut. We just got away with it with no one the wiser.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'm a bit older than you, and it wasn't any big secret among my peers. I remember my mom being fairly shocked the first time it came up though, and the media hadn't glommed on yet. But it for sure isn't a recent development.
