Your dad knew that you had this obligation, you needed to buy stuff for your place, and that it would be hard to do both. So, he spent his money on you so that you can spend your money on someone else.
WEIRD.
Maybe it's just a coincidence.

[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.

Yup, it's what I call the "pay it forward" principle. My folks would help me out, then I would help my daughter out. Eventually, she will help her kids out. The payout doesn't necessarily have to be instantaneous; sometimes you're in the position to pay forward right away, sometimes it's two months or two years down the road. The satisfaction comes from knowing your assistance keeps the taproot growing. Kind of like manure.

Even if you think you're ready, you never are. I'm so sorry you're going through this, love. I wish I could teleport myself to you for wine and snuggles (and possibly clicky fire).
However, this:
I just ran my fingertip over with a table. I am going to have to turn in my adult card, aren't I? Seriously. I rolled a table (with my computer on it) over my fingernail. It not only hurts but I feel compelled to mock myself.made me want to say,"BACK INTO YOUR BUBBLEWRAP, MISSY!"
Seriously, take good care of yourself today. Chocolate and fresh flowers and bubbly bath and sleep and brainless happy tv.

I don't need the sofa but the dog is awfully cute, any chance of getting it?
We had a dog who was quite beautiful. Gremlin was a stray and the vets would look at her and say "Chow and mastiff. Irish setter and St. Bernard..." As you might guess, she was a large red dog. Anyway, we had a yard sale and at least 15 people asked if she was for sale.
She can't do much damage with a plastic shovel. Yet.
Famous last words.

Always Anti-fascist!
We used to go to swap meets and people'd ask about my wheelchair. Like, every time.

Punishingly Intricate

You mean they'd try to buy it out from under you??? That's hilarious. Funny the way you like funny anyway.
erika, I just went out (driving my friends' dog to the vet for the second time in three days...sigh) and saw 3 different city buses with ads for Wire season 3 dvds with the tagline "They fought the war on drugs. Drugs won." Made me wish you were here for your birthday and we could be driving around appreciating that together!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I wish I could come down and distract you.Me too. I could really use a good distraction. And an excuse to put on makeup and pretend I am okay about this. Because everything is better with lipstick.
And I shouldn't be this upset. I know that. I just can't seem to tell my heart that right now.
"BACK INTO YOUR BUBBLEWRAP, MISSY!"Padded hamster ball? Yeah, I am unfit to have a body. But the icing and everything helped because it is sore but not throbbing right now.
You know, just when you think you've plumbed the depths of weird...You think you know ... what's to come ...

A co-worker once had a homeless man in a wheelchair try to sell it to her for $10. Craziness.
