[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.

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.

Harvey-purrs to you, Aimee.

Coding and Sleeping

The primary camera (for all the pics I just linked too as well) is a Canon Digital Rebel XT (way out of the $150 range). The secondary camera is a Fuji and I forget the model, something similar to the A400 (in the $150 range). It took these pictures (reduced in size for the web needless to say): [link]

The Fuji isn't bad and quite small, handy for slipping into a pocket.

Question for hivemind: is father's wife automatically entitled to a fussing-over on Mother's Day?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

By her kids? Absolutely.

For you, it would depend on your relationship, not your father's.

Always Anti-fascist!

I used to, when I didn't hate her guts. After that, well, never mind.

What is even happening?

Question for hivemind: is father's wife automatically entitled to a fussing-over on Mother's Day?

How is your relationship, and how important would it be to (a) it, (b) her, (c) your father?

If your relationship is decent and you think either she or your father would care at all, I think a card and at least a token that shows you're thinking of her might be in order. I don't know that a fuss would be.

Do you still have your own mother? If so, would your remembering this person on Mother's Day affect your mother's feelings?

My thinking last year was that there should be something special and individual in our relationship for me to go there. So I didn't do anything and ended up hurting their feelings.

Stepmom has never acted in a way to mentor or support me, or indeed to take any particular interest in me. We enjoy pleasant interactions, but it's not like she calls me and wants to do lunch or find out what I’ve been up to. We only see each other when there’s a family thing going on. This all seems OK to me because I was over 40 when we met. We formed a friendly relationship based on both of us loving my dad, and Mom-ness never entered into the equation, as far as I can tell.

MIL, OTOH, does things like take me shopping, ask me to schedule special girl time to hang out, sneak me a $20, calls me the daughter she never had. Doing a Thing for her on Mother’s Day seems obvious and natural to me. Besides, DH definitely owes her recognition, and since I’m in charge of human interaction for Chez Bee, we do stuff for her.

Biological mom has been off the mortal sphere since 1977 and doesn’t enter into these calculations at all.
