Book ,'Objects In Space'
[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 so sorry for your loss Daisy Jane.
Well, I certainly have heat now -- I just need to figure out how to regulate it as it's kind of tropical in here now. (I also have a cold so may not be able to tell this sort of thing very well.)
I went to the doctor for a follow-up on my knee: the original injury seems to be good, but my knee is swollen and I have arthritis. He gave me a shot of cortizone in the bursa and a script for antibiotics for the cold. I am sick of this shit.
{{{Daisy Jane and family}}} I'm so sorry for your loss.
We got bad news in re: GF's dad yesterday that involves crazy amounts of money and little hope. Maybe I'll talk about it later.
{{{Daisy Jane}}} I'm sorry.
{{{sumi}}} Fie on your knee.
{{{Gloomcookie}}} I'm so sorry. We're here if you need to spill. And also if you don't want to.
{{{GC & GC's girlfriend}}} I'm so sorry. ~ma to all of you.
It isn't an actual christening gown, those are long, and are often heirlooms, used by generations in a family.
I found this baby dress in a consignment shop, never worn, tags attached. It's a Feltman Brothers batiste baby dress, similar to this one, with pintucks and infinitesimal buttons and lace. At the time, we were thinking of the possibility of a little girl, and this dress was sort of the symbol of that imaginary daughter. She never materialized, so I tucked the dress away in lavender and cedar, in case either of my sons had a daughter.
It was facing the fact that we wouldn't be having a granddaughter and being sad that this beautiful dress wasn't being worn and enjoyed, and that beautiful Buffista mamas were having gorgeous Buffista babies. So at the DC F2F, I gave it to Aimee. And when Em had grown too big to wear it, I asked her to pass it along to JZ and Hec for Matilda.
So I'm thrilled it's getting used. I'm tickled to death at the notion of it being the Buffista family heirloom, passed from baby to baby. Or really just seeing use, at all.
Mazeltov, Matilda! You'll make the dress absolutely beautiful!
That's a lovely story, Beverly. The link isn't working though.
Freakin' allergies.
Oh, Bev, that is so lovely.
The link is fixed!
