Daniel, I'm so sorry for your loss and for the bizarre delay. How horrible for your mother.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

[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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Thanks, It really hasn't hit me yet, I don't think. I kind of lost track of him. He may have been living in Washington, I know he and his wife moved from Las Vegas after many years to Canada, then back to las Vegas, then ...Argh.
Anyway. Mom is doing fine. She will not be attending a funeral she had been planning to go to tomorrow for obvious reasons.
She is holding up, though. His death hasn't hit her quite yet, either.

Daniel, I'm so sorry for your family's loss.
Hivemind? My friend's wife is turning 50 soon, and he pretty much sucks at gifts and occasions. So he asked me to suggest some things for a 50th. He'd thought of a cruise or jewelry. I suggested a long weekend at a spa/resort type place or a new car. Any good ideas? What was a successful age 50 present for a woman you know?
Parameters: They make decent money, so that's not really a limiter, but any time she isn't working she isn't getting paid, so the cruise idea is a double whammy, financially. They have 2 kids who aren't old enough to be left on their own at all, but if it's an all-family thing, the birthday mother will not relax.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
What is she passionate about?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
We threw a fancy-schmancy surprise dinner party for my stepmom when she turned 50. Rounded up old friends, rounded up old pictures and did a slideshow thingie...

I'm sorry, Daniel.

Girly question...
I bought new bras today and they fit but I am PMS like whoa and since that comes with swollen breasts ... is this going to affect their fit once normalcy sets back in? It's a new size bra, so I am hoping I didn't make a mistake. Also? Boobs owwwwwwwww!
