Wash ,'Bushwhacked'
[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.
when I wake up at ass o'clock in the morning. Is it Owen, bladder, the esophagus of fire, or just some other pregnancy joy?
Owen woke up this morning for some reason. Oh, yeah, his father took him shopping yesterday, skipped the nap and he went to bed at 7:30 p.m.--resulting in today's early wake up call.
I was already awake, however. My sister called--my uncle finally passed away.
We're both drinking some chocolate milk right now.

How are your cousin and her baby doing?

It may not solve problems more complex than thirst, but chocolate milk sure helps me remember there's good in the world, when I need reminding.
Thanks, Cindy. He really was in a lot of pain so I'm sure this is a huge relief for him. It's going to be really hard on his wife, kids and grandkids as well as my mom and her sibs but that's the way this thing works. I hate that it's so close to Christmas
How are your cousin and her baby doing?
Very well, thanks. My cousin ended up leaving the hospital after two scant days because they decided not to transfer her to the same hospital as her baby to recover. She couldn't stand being so far from the baby so she just recovered quickly through sheer will. The little girl's name is Peyton. She's gaining weight and no longer on oxygen.

Know what's better than chocolate milk? Chocolate milk kisses.
Daniel, that is horrible. But I think, much like Katie Bee, you are better off not working with jackholes like that. Hopefully a new job will come your way very soon, and be much better!
I hadn't heard any of those nigger phrases, and am pretty appalled.
I hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas, despite any and all problems, and that the new year brings an improvement in everyone's fortunes!
(Well, everyone on this board, anyway. I don't really wish for an improvement in Bush or Rove or their cronies' fortunes).

Oh, shit Frank. So sorry about that. As you say, nobody died, but it still sucks mightily.
(Bless Kristin'n'Drew. Bless bless bless. I mean, I'm VERY sorry about the awfulness of divorce, but I like it when my peeps get together.)
The first time somebody I knew told me they would fix something by "nigger-rigging" it I thought I would die. I was eighteen and everything...
Huh. Never heard that term either, although I've heard of Jerry- rigging. I understood it wasn't actually a reference to Germans, though: Word Origins indicates that it's from Jury rig, a nautical term from way the hell back.
Mind you, five or six years ago my mother used the phrase "the nigger in the woodpile" out of the blue, and shocked the socks off me and my sister. It wasn't something we'd ever heard her say before, and one look at the aghast expressions on our faces made her replay her words in her mind and then look equally aghast. It was a phrase adults had used when she was young, and not something she'd ever really thought about, and for some reason it just randomly came to mind as an appropriate metaphor for something and she'd said it before she'd even thought about the words. Bless her. She was VERY embarrassed and ashamed. Never heard her use the word before or since.
Hola GC!
Gronk, got so much doings a'transpiring today.
Boggled at Fay's and Daniel's employment goings-on. Ugh.
Frank, I insent you yesterday to your profile address.
Thank you to everyone for your support.
Repeating something I just told someone in my LJ:
The thing is, I can't believe it took me until Friday afternoon to really realize she thought I was saying that the words applied to her personally. It never even occured to me, as I would never consciously say such a thing. If I had realized it, I would have corrected it at the time. Of course, the fact that I wouldn't say the word likely made the whole thing seem worse.
It was certainly never my intent to imply that she herself reminded me of that name. It baffles me that I was such a dunderhead that I didn't catch that.
I really regret that I made someone feel bad, though, and can't help thinking I should have caught it. It really never crossed my mind until after I was fired that someone would think I was intentionally racist.
I am such a dweeb.
Frank, I insent you yesterday to your profile address.
I didn't get it until I got home, and, for whatever reason, that address at home doesn't let me send out mail (I think it's an Apple issue or something). Is definitely maybe good enough until next week? I'm unsure of a lot of things until after this weekend.
Errors and misunderstandings between people is so popular in plays and movies. Not so much fun when you're involved in one.
