Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!  

[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.

Of course I tell mine if they didn't do the stupid stuff I wouldn't have to be the mean-mom.

Oh yeah - we will get to that point in a day or two.

Part of me is glad that he is beyond believing in Santa, otherwise he would be falling apart about getting in trouble this close to Christmas on top of everything else.

That Santa fellow sure has the young kids scared, doesn't he? Terrorist.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Some vets don't like giving them (I've had one that refused), but most will.

Then there's Teddy's former vet. Who insisted that Teddy be tranquilized before each appointment.

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

Hmmm. So, I guess my plan is to get a soft-sided AND a hard-sided carrier, put him in the soft-side and hope they let me take him into the cabin (especialy if it's below 10), and if not, put him in the hard-side and let him ride in the cargo (if it's above 10). Okay. Thanks.

Just be extra good-lookin' that day and you should be fine.

Being a mom is HARD.

It really, really, really is. It's the hardest job I do, and the most guilt-ridden.

Maybe you should try being a hitman!

Wow. I'm not sure I'd be mature enough to ask for conflict mediation if someone were to hit me.

The thing is, unless you're sure you're going to win the fight, it's not as much about maturity as about self-protection. You call the principal in, there's a good chance the fight stops and the guy is punished. You throw a punch, you get beat up, the principal STILL gets called in, you're both punished.

The great thing about life after middle school is that you are so seldom held captive with people who despise you and whom you despise. Self-defense may be necessary on the streets, but it isn't necessary to keep your lunch money.

I can't figure out where to buy the conscience-ectomy.

Ask Dick Chaney where he had his done.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Sigh.

Can I request some strength-ma? My best friend of the wedding and ring sagas got pregnant on her honeymoon. She's been having some issues, but the heartbeat was strong as of Monday.

Tuesday, it stopped. They just found out today and she's having a D&C tomorrow. They, and I, are heartbroken. So a little strength-ma for them, por favor.

Thanks.
