No worries on my part either, Emily.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

[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.

I'm very bad at thank you cards. I'm trying to raise Lillian to send them, but honestly, they're utterly foreign to how I was raised. It doesn't come naturally to me to send them *at all*, and I bristle a bit at the notion that this makes me less of a civilized person.
Except for the raising Lillian part, this is me. I'm STILL horrible at thank you notes; partially because I've got a horrible track record for mailing things off, but mostly because I just don't think to write them. I mean, I'll send off giddy e-mail thanking people for things, but hand-written thank-you cards? I don't manage those very often.

I don't think I've written a thank you note for a gift since my wedding. I do, however, write random ones to thank people for their general awesomeness. The best was when I wrote all my girlfriends to thank them for being them and made them all goddesses and wrote little prayers for them.
Port's too sweet for a big glass of it. I need an actual port glass, as this one's bottom is too thick for me to warm.

Only the fact that I knew it should only be sent to you made me finally get it finished and sent.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
We repainted the master bedroom over two years ago. This included adding a wallpaper border about halfway up the wall.
I just did the last bit of wallpapering today. I had missed one section and JUST FINALLY took care of it.
Do I get a prize now?

I'm getting the pig!
Do I get a prize now?
Yes!
You get the joy of knowing that your wallpaper border is finally complete.

Ok. My outside cat, Sabrina, has occasionally left lizzard bits and bird bits on our porch. Tonight I let the dogs out before bed. There is a HUGE DEAD RAT disemboweled on our welcome mat. The human is not pleased no matter what the cat might think.

Ewwww, critter guts. It's, um, a sign of affection? Yeah, not helping me either.
Snoozed for a while. Heading back to sleep now. Need more snooooooooze.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
My parents bug the hell out of me for whether I've sent thank you cards for big events. Like my college graduation--honestly, I didn't get aroud to the notes until three or four weeks after I graduated, but every couple of days, "Did you send them out yet?" I don't know, I was raised to think that they were important, a necessary respose to the receipt of a gift, but there are times when I'm just as fine with saying an effusive thank you over the phone or in email as I am sending a paper card.
I'm still only just beginning to grasp the whole remembering-important-dates thing, so I don't really have an opinion on the receipt of thank you cards. I'll be lucky if I remember to get my package for my nephew's and sister's birthdays tomorrow! And my sister Gail is the worst for remembering dates and christmas presents and stuff--I don't think I've received a present from her in years. But I don't care about that; she's been there for me in ways that make presents unnecessary, you know? But I do it because I want to. And frankly, because it makes me feel like an adult.

Amusing...
Mom pinged me to ask if I had sent the thank you notes for a dinner some friends had when she was visiting. I bristled a little (lot!!!!!) because I had *meant* to but hadn't sent off my notes.
Took us a few emails before we realized that she was asking whether I had mailed *her* thank yous... Which I had mailed about two hours after she handed them to me.
But it did remind me to send my damn notes as well.
