Just paged my doctor. She was supposed to call with blood results today, and hasn't yet. And I'm just in so much pain. I don't think she'll be able to do anything, but I just want to touch base with her.
I'm such a pain in the ass patient.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

[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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
And damn did the guy I took them off of put up a fight.
I once read a novelisation of the life of King David. There's the occasion where he wants to marry King Saul's daughter, and the king (hoping to get rid of this upstart) demands a bride price of a hundred Philistine foreskins. The book's David explains he had a real bugger of a time before he realised he could kill them first.

Aimee, Em's adorable - you just need to pick the adorablest outfit for her.
OK ... totally inappropriate crosspost.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
It's unpossible. I've tried.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I empathize. More than half of my siblings are adopted. There were two siblings we adopted when they were in the early double-digits. They were part of our family for over a year when the biological father changed his mind and sued for custody. While it wasn't a betrayal of trust, it certainly upset our family. I agree with you that it was better to find this out before the legal process was finalized. You're an admirable woman for working so hard not only for your own kids but for another person's child.
vw, I'm sorry you're in so much pain and hope it lets up soon.

I imagine it's narrow through the shoulders and flares out at the hem.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
MG, I haven't been around much in the last few days, and you've gotten a lot of good advice and sympathy already -- but I just want to note that you're a damned hero. Seriously.
The C situation is awful, and I wish to hell it could've worked out differently for everyone. But even in the end, the fact remains that you've been willing to go much farther than a lot of people would to make things right for all these kids, your own as well as others'. C isn't in a position to understand or appreciate it now, but at some point in the future, I hope she'll count you as one of the people who made a difference for her, if only for a while.
