Xander ,'Same Time, Same Place'
[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'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.
Oh sure, cause that could never happen here...
Oh we got you this way. Don't kid yourself.
(((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.
David, yeah, it's a sad fraternity we belong to.
marvellous human being
And speaking of marvellous human beings, Karl!
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.
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.

My younger brother is of the opinion that Phil has been partaking liberally of the insanity peppers. I think he says it admiringly.
Well, yeah, you'll cry when you think it's appropriate, and you'll cry at times when you haven't even been thinking about it, and you'll cry just whenever.

I put my cell number in my profile, just in case you need it.

The other guy, Gus Hansen, was totally crazier. Phil went all in with a pair, and the other guy had J-8. Then Gus picked up an 8 on the flop. Not a high percentage move, but he pulled the same manuever on Antonio and won then as well.
Phil's one of the least crazy people I know. He's as rational as an actuary at all points. It's just that what he values is different than what other people value. He values fun, excitement and challenge over other stuff, and has a bottomless well of confidence that he can achieve what he wants.
And he's been right. When you're constantly rewarded for your choices it's hard to presume you're doing it wrong.
