[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.

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

This feels sassier.

It is definitely sassier! You look great.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

MG - you look beautiful!!

Ok, Family? SUCKS.

My Great-Grandmother has been under hospice care since last Monday. My Uncle Bob - my grandfather's brother - just told my grandmother TODAY. WTF?? I'm rapidly losing patience with this man. Does he not think that my mom and her brothers would want to see her before she died?? Ass. Holery. I'm telling ya.

So, it looks like another trip to Michigan might be in order soon. I hate being a fucking grown up. People die and I don't. fucking. like. it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

{{{Aimee}}} I hate it when people don't communicate

Divorce and people dying both bad sucky things.

Pfft. It's been hard enough breaking (10 so far) cigs into tiny little bits.

When I quit I phased out 5 one day, 4 the next, etc. The last day I lit the same one last cigarette maybe 15 times. I am not cold turkey girl. But it worked.

It's not just the lack of communication. It's the lack of consideration behind it. Ever since my grandfather died and my Uncle Bob got POA, he's been systematic ally going through her house and tossing shit or giving it away. He gave her tatting supplies - including the 19th century sterling silver shuttle from HER grandmother - to the freaking Ladies Aid, without asking ANYONE if they were interested. This is an art form that should be passed own. I never had the patience to learn when I was younger, but dammit, she taught me to embroider and cross-stitch and quilt. I wanted that shuttle. My mom says I should write the church and see if I can get it back, but I don't know that seems like, rude or something. But I don't want that to get lost. I want someone in our family to tat.

{{Aimee}} I'm sorry to hear about your Great-grandma. I will think smiting thoughts at your Uncle Bob. Stoopid head.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Ooooh. Asshattishness blows even more.

Things may need to get gone through, but if there's ever been a place for consideration...

I'm getting the pig!

{{{Aimee}}} I'm sorry, sweetie.

But I don't want that to get lost. I want someone in our family to tat.

I'd write the letter. Nothing rude about it and it's important to you. Your reasons and heart will show in what you write.

What Nicole said, Aimee. I don't think they'd see it as rude at all, just concern for family traditions. I think they'd be happy to oblige with returning it.
