WOO NORA!!
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.
Mayor ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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.
Ice cream really is not the best choice of mid-morning treat for a person with a cough. Hot lemonade with honey? That is.
ETA: Yay, Nora!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Congrats, Nora!

Thank you! Also, Ginger and Deena rock mightily. But y'all already knew that, right? (Can't be said enough though)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Congratulations, Nora!
I find blaming Nilly to work often -- and she's totally down with it.
I had that figured and one and a half-assed. I'll never get the math(s).
You're being over-Euclidean.
I think the word "radical" in "radical acceptance" scares me, but the principles themselves don't. They're hard, but I find I have the most problems when a) I feel I do have some control, and accepting will tke the edge of my ability to change reality, and b) it's actual physical pain, with no end date apparent.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Wheeee! Go Nora! (and thank you, but you did all the hard work.)

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Yay, an A!
(and what Deena said)

I don't feel I know Nilly well enough to blame her for stuff. I usually blame Harvey, but then he wants to make it up to me by snuggling and purring.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Yay, Nora!!! You smart chick, you!
I cannot begin to tell you how slow it is in my office right now -- but I work at a university and classes are not in session.
It is INCREDIBLY slow here. I think I did about 2 hours worth of work yesterday. So far today, about 15 minutes.
I identify with the radical acceptance thing. I have never used it so concretely, but I definitey use the concepts. More of a, "Well, there's nothing I can do to change this, so I might as well ride the wave."
