I would be there right now.

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.

Always Anti-fascist!

He never complained as much as I might, if that were me. Very unassuming(?) about the hospital visits and whatnot.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Cass sweetie, David was just answering my question.

Because books.

kimi, thanks so much for letting us know.

I didn't know Gus well at all, but I posted with him a few times in Great White, and I'm just ... well, floored. A wake sounds like a fine idea to celebrate his life.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Cass sweetie, David was just answering my question.
I am, surely, overly emotional. My apologies. I took David's post the wrong way and am sorry. It felt callous and too soon when I snapped and responded but he was just answering a question. I am sorry. I just am shocked and saddened to find out we lost Gus.

Peace, dear. Your pain is entirely understandable, and entirely shared.

No apologies necessary. It's shocking and a loss. Trust me, I feel it. I don't intend any disrespect.

Compassionately intolerant

Oh my. Godspeed Gus. I can just imagine him winging off to where ever we go with a sly smile and a whole lot to say about it.

We had a couple of offline interactions and I gotta say...one of the sweetest, funniest fellows. And such a devout fan!

God bless him and all he loved.

kimi, I said it elsewhere, but should it be heard by those who need to hear it, I'm raising a single malt in memorium. My blessings to you and all.

Bar posts, that's what I recall fondly.

Except the part where, yeah, I need to. And I do apologize.
It's shocking and a loss. Trust me, I feel it. I don't intend any disrespect.
It ... it is.

And I really don't have words for loss right now. I have used all of mine up and I just feel empty right now when people and things I want to take for granted are gone.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Damn.

My world just got a bit dimmer.

Thank you for letting us know, kimi. And please don't hesitate to speak up if there is anything we can do for you.

I'll raise a glass to his memory tonight.
