Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Gud, Bitches will take all of your venting and offer sympathy in return.

Plus? We can offer punctuation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You are not your marriage, Gud. There's no doubt that this is a horrible thing to go through, but a failed marriage doesn't make a failed Gud.

Gud, I'm so sorry to hear that things don't seem to be getting better. I can't imagine how hard it is for you.

Also, what Daniel said.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm really sorry, Gud. You've been doing all you can to do right by your wife and kids.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Gud, you deserve a good life. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to be loved fully and freely. You deserve to be valued as you are - your best qualities properly appreciated, and your flaws graciously accepted (as we should all graciously accept the flaws of our loved ones). Please believe this. It will help you in remaking your life.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Nora, I am sorry that I forgot to update on work stuff last week. My first day back at work was last Friday, which was the same day I found out about T and family moving. The stuff with T made work stuff seem pretty insignificant. Anyway, I was on edge all day last Friday, but nothing was said to me. Big boss lady wasn't there, and I haven't seen her since, but this is mainly because my work hours have been cut to practically nothing (I have one definite hour next week and 4 possible hours). I was originally taking this as punishment, but it seems that everyone is going through this. The post holiday lack of funds. Anyway, thanks for asking.

sj, my sister started a retail job (Williams Sonoma in her case) around the time you did. She got scheduled for five hours this week as well.

Yup. It sucks. We have a big meeting on Saturday. I smell layoffs.

Coding and Sleeping

Thanks for the well wishes guys. Right now it's nice to hear. I'm trying to distract myself with cleaning the garage right now while I figure out what to do next.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My marrige seems hopeless and I have no idea what to do about it. I'm currently hating my life and hating myself. Ugh.

I'm sorry, Gud. Don't hate yourself, though. You're a good man and a great father. Marriages don't work for a lot of reasons. I hate to think of you going through a divorce, but I can say that there is life beyond divorce as well.
