I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

[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 look more rad than Lutheranism

My asthma isn't going to be able to take this every day.

If it's a health issue, I would think that your landlord would be required to do something about it. And if he/she won't do anything about it, you should contact the Board of Health.

Hell, someone in my building contacted the Board of Health because they thought that their apartment was *too cold* (and this was 6 weeks AFTER the heat had been turned on, so it wasn't me).

Asthma is an even more serious issue.

Mostly lurking...

Yes. This. They need something about it. It falls under quiet and enjoyable living conditions, if nothing else.

The problem is my landlord isn't their landlord, so I am not sure if she could do anything. Each floor of this house is owned separately and there is no real condo association to speak of. I am going to mention it to my landlord because no smoking is in our rental agreement, so I want them to know that any smoke smell is not from us, but I don't expect anything to be done about it.

Ah. Board of Health, then. I'm serious.

I'll talk with TCG about it when he gets home. All of this would be much easier if they would just respect the fact that I am the only one who is allowed to be home all day. I think they work at night, because they're never home in the evenings.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

vw, that is stunningly cute.

And I'm a cat person. But - BLESS.

JZ - sounds like a pretty good plan to me wrt grandpa-wrangling. Hope it might prove suitable?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Fay, sadly, no. It's a nonstarter because I know (sort of) how he thinks, and a reception that does not involve the presence of his actual granddaughter would be FAKE.

It'll work out; I'm just supremely irritated at the amount of time and energy that's going into managing my dad instead of planning for the actual event.

We should stop having events. No more birthdays!

Now tagless for your comfort.

{{JZ}} Gah. Good luck. It's a tough thing but I hope you manage to deal with the situation--and give Hec's dad the respect and experience he needs as well as what YOUR new, little family needs. At least get some goggles to keep your pretty eyes from rolling away.
