[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.

I have had a 5-way. Life is much better.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Suzi, I'm crossing my fingers for that kidney to come your family's way.
Meara--yikes. Do you know what you're going to do? Maybe ask your dad what he thinks would be best.

Yeah, I dunno what I'm going to do--I think my mom was kinda in shock. But there isn't going to be a funeral, and mom said she was only going to take Monday off work, so...yeah. Don't know.
Grandma was 90, and not really with it the past few years, so in general, not a huge shocker. Just the whole "Oh, I didn't mention she was in the hospital the past week? By the way, she died..." was odd. :)
However, the good news is, the computer continues to limp along. Yay, comptuer.
Would it be evil if I took bereavement leave on Monday so that I could take the computer to the shop?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Back from North Beach where we had a big sized crowd there to celebrate the Empress.
Aimee took a picture of JZ's belly so that'll make it's way online eventually.
Got to meet Juliana's guy. I liked him. P-Cow was there. Deb told embarrassing stories about ita. That was fun.
I didn't get the news on Suzi's mom before the dinner so I was mostly indulging A's talk when I got a chance with her.
We sat down by Sparky and her DH, and Emily so that was good for catching up.
We scarpered off so I could get the pregnant lady into bed, but most folks were off to Enrico's for drinks. I expect Aimee and Juliana will do some significant romping in North Beach tonight.

Nope. Do you get bereavement for a grandparent? It's often limited to immediate family - spouse, parents, sibs and kids.

I think I do...not sure, though. One of my coworkers (who I have her cellphone number--don't have my boss') is checking for me. I'm pretty sure I do, but it's a question of how much. I think we get 3 days for immediate family and 1 day for aunts/uncles, but we'll see. And not sure where grandparents falls on that.
(It's more a "if I get three days, then I'll seriously think about driving home for a couple of them, but if I only get one day, then it probably isn't worth it")
