Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else  

[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.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

it will be easier for EM if emmett isn't around. Advice for her. Never talk to ex. never. If he calls 50 times - so be it - if she answers on the 50th call he will be encouraged. Nor should anyone else talk to him for her - same reason- he'll be encouraged at the communication. he police should only be talking to him if they can arrest him ( for breaking a RO or as a suspect - not as a warning) If he starts talking to her F2F - she should walk away asap. she has to cut him off cold. any response is an encouragement.

peace ma~~ connie.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Egad, Hec.

Would EM be open to temporary reworkings of custody to reduce any risk to Emmett?

"Even if you do have other time off scheduled this month, very few people will hold it against you if you tell them a close relative died yesterday."

Yes, that's one of those times where it's ok -- even required -- to throw previous plans out the window.

Always Anti-fascist!

Ah...Beth's read Gavin de Becker, too. "The Gift of Fear". Awesome book.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

connnie, peace to you, Hubby and his family.

Re: EM. Yikes! Cindy, your second thought was also mine.

Not just his book - but some self defense classes from a local women's shelter - people who have seen what works and what doesn't on a regular basis.

but it is a very good book.

Our computer system at work went belly up, so I took that as a sign to ditch and come home so I could nap.

Now that I'm home, I'm wide awake. Gah. Need nap so I can have a brain for homework.

Hec - I know you will do what is best for Emmett.

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

That little kid is screwed.

I know. It's horrible. I know him well, and really like him. He's like Emmett's big brother.

I've got Emmett tonight and tomorrow and the coming weekend.

Yeesh. We've got to change all our "okay to pickup" lists at school and aftercare.

Because books.

We've got to change all our "okay to pickup" lists at school and aftercare.

Yup. A must.

I feel awful for EM, and for Emmett (because it's way scary to have an adult you know and trust wig out), but I really feel for his kid. That's rough.

Hey, P-C. Is your tag a Futurama quote? The "chuh" sounds an awful lot like an Amy Wong expression.
