Our enlightened approach to this is going to be to bribe him. Or rather, get him to focus on the after reward and getting through the difficult thing he doesn't want to face.
If I cry and scream and yell in therapy, will you buy me a gelato?
Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

[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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

gallons of gelatto for Tom. Hope the baseball hamster goes away for Emmett.
The money hamster stuck around for awhile. As per usual, looking at the money plan for this month, it looks solid in the light of day, just not ideal. and that is what makes the money hamster squeel.
I prefer gelato. or sleep.

I refuse to look the money hamster in the eye this month. I've bolted his little fucking squeaky wheel in one position, let him run all he wants. OTOH, thank heavens for some of the sales going on right now. I cleaned up on some really impressive presents yesterday and kept it well within my budget.

I have done really well this year. I have not over spent. - and I should get everyone's gifts out before I have to overspend on shipping . so the money hamster is stoopid. he wants me to wait- but that would cost more money.

Oh, I will undoubtedly overspend, as I do every year. However, I feel like I've gotten good value for what I overspent on! Hee.

Our wings are not tired.
I need to spend some time shopping on line SOON. I hate shopping. I'm hoping that some diligent searching will yield some savings.
Today I need to decorate (and clean).

I'm off to shower, finally. Since we've already had enough snow to cause major traffic back-ups from accidents, I figured it was time to put new tires on the car so I didn't become part of the problem. I've got a 3 o'clock appointment and I figure I can do a little more Christmas shopping while they work on the car. It's gonna be crowded, which sucks, but if I can finish off the major gifts today, I'll be happy.

Hell, I'll take you to Italy.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My money hamster is a dead, bloated corpse stinking up his cage.
