Oh, honey. I've been through this, the palliative care and waiting for the end, with my mom. Do feel free to call or e me if you feel like you need someone to talk to. Or just to give an "is this normal" reality check.

[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.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Love and peace to you and yours, Cass. You're a great friend and a marvellous human being.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I've been through this, the palliative care and waiting for the end, with my mom.
Yeah, it's familiar.
I'm sorry Cass. I hope they can ease it.
I flipped on the TV and I'm watching Phil separate a rookie from his money. But Phil's friend Antonio last $500,000 on one bet, when the other guy (Gus Hansen) had to go all in and catch a pair on the flop. Shit! Half a mil.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Oh sure, cause that could never happen here...
Oh we got you this way. Don't kid yourself.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
(((Darling Cass))) I went through something similar with my dad, so I'm echoing Brenda's offer. Courage and peace and strength to you and your family.
Suzi, Perkins' air mattress is very much of the comfy, I can attest. Go, if you get the chance.
juliana, well come, and a Happy New Year ahead wished for you.
And for all the Bitches.
As for me? Oooh, Katie's storybook cottagey-watertight shed and tasks to accomplish, Nick's bedroom and Deena-made breakfast, a 1933 World's Fair bedroom, or the sybaritic and idiosyncratic pleasures of Chez Zmayhem...? I can't decide, but thank you all.
Oh, and I third--fourth?--the Drambuie rec. Having a wee nip my ownself, thank you, even though the magical hour has come and gone and it is now 2006 here already.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
And speaking of marvellous human beings, Karl!
I second that sentiment.
Oof. Phil went out on an $800,000 pot. I can't even think on that scale.

Brenda, you'll make me blush. I left a comment in your LJ.
eta: Hec, give JZ and Emmett a squeeze for me, hm? I don't see you guys nearly enough. Something to remedy in the new year.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Do feel free to call or e me if you feel like you need someone to talk to. Or just to give an "is this normal" reality check.I might honestly call on several of you for help with this. It's so much easier when it isn't someone you love and are so much invested in. Right now, I just am willing to lean on the shoulders that are offered, and appreciate them.
I am really doing okay right now. I know that there are times when I won't be, I cried for hours the night I sat with my grandma, and it will waver in the coming days but I am okay at this moment.
I am just going to try and be brave and respect life and its cycles. And I am going to rely on my friends to help me through.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Oof. Phil went out on an $800,000 pot. I can't even think on that scale.
My younger brother is of the opinion that Phil has been partaking liberally of the insanity peppers. I think he says it admiringly.
