Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Spike's Bitches 32: I think I'm sobering up.  

[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.

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

I would have come up with a better way to express my concern instead of just poking at her

Fair enough. I'll cop to the inapproriately glib. vw, I'm sorry I took such a snarky tone on such a sensitive and unhappy topic. The presumption behind your comment seemed so outrageously and dangerously wrong-headed that I felt compelled to challenge it. Clearly you didn't need that, nor the way I phrased it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Good enough. Let's move on.

My hair *is* fabulous, huh?

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)

I believe it was intended as a reality check, though. Even if it came off badly. vw, I didn't know about that...I'm sorry for it. I think you've done a fine job of rebuilding things, in any event.

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

you don't think that's provocative?

I certainly don't think it's the kind of comment that provokes hysterics.

It's yelling, "Fire!" in the crowded theatre...

No it's not. It might've been insensitive, but it doesn't fall under that legalistic distinction. Else anything you said that was potentially upsetting to somebody else could be prohibited.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

The presumption behind your comment seemed so outrageously and dangerously wrong-heaaded that I felt compelled to challenge it.

Um.

See...

Sigh.

Ok, I missed that part.

Maybe not moving on.

Seriously, David. Why did you throw that in there?

Honestly. You fucked up, you said something shitty. You apologize to cover up something else shitty. I honestly don't know what planet you are from sometimes.

My hair *is* fabulous, huh?

Very fabulous. I'd put up a picture of mine, but I've never mastered the self-portrait. I always end up with pictures that look like all the pictures I have of one of my dogs. She would run to you the minute you got out the camera, so all the pictures are of a giant blurry dog's nose.

Thanks, Ginger. :) I don't take good self portraits either. I make Joe take them.

I want to show off my new color, but something about the lighting in the condo just totally negates what my daughter did to it. I'm going blonde, but right now it's more strawberry blonde with blonde highlights. The lighting here just makes it look muddy. Ugh.
