How's Emmett dealing?
Okay. He's sad that he can't see Aidan. I can't imagine it's good to see his Mom a nervous wreck, barricading her door every night and sleeping with a lead pipe next to the bed.
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

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.

Because books.

Nope. Not good at all.
I feel so sorry for Aidan, too, though. Sounds like he has no one right now, with his mom gone and EM gone, and his dad turned psycho stalker guy. Poor kid.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
And, we aren't having an office Christmas party, to boot.
Pshaw.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Joining AmyLiz's bandwagon. Someone needs to do something for Aidan. Unfortunately, anyone connected with EM is the last person in any position to do anything.

I bought The Velveteen Rabbit over the weekend
I just love this book, in the sense of sobbing nonstop. Also, my cousin raises rabbits and has developed a couple of new breeds. One breed, she was waiting until it was consistent before submitting it to the ARBA. Unfortunately, some folks on the East Coast didn't bother following the rules, so we have Jersey Woolies instead of Arctic Angoras. However, she's less bitter than I, and moved on to developing another breed: Velveteen Rabbits! I don't think she's going to bother getting them approved by the association, and I don't have any pictures, but they're a cross between rex rabbits and English lops (picture these: underthepinerabbitry.tripod.com/id10.html but imagine them very big).
lib, take juliana up on her offer, she has a lovely mom.
There is much temptation. I'm even more tempted to visit by aunt, and skip the trip from Anchorage to Homer. Now, mom is being all sweetness and light, and I am very confused.
Why can't November go pick on EM's ex for a while, and leave the rest of us who never did it no harm alone?
THIS. YES.

Aimee - DH's "Holiday" party is in a different state. On the other coast. Bah, humbug.

That is uber lame, Nora. Is it a day time thing?

Someone needs to do something for Aidan.
EM contacted her ex's family and friends last month asking them to step up and help Aidan. Don't know how much they can do.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I am a total Scrooge and hate company parties/events of any kind. This year our holiday party is at the hotel at Hollywood and Highland. The only one I've attended in the 6 years I've been with the company was a couple years ago when they had it at the House of Blues.
