I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers  

[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.

What is even happening?

Thanks, Cashmere and Amy. (I have cake mix but no energy and no oil.)

Am applying wine, now. Am in cellar with windows open, because I won't smoke in the house, proper, and needed one, although I think this all has reinforced my desire to quit.

Has anyone tried the Commit Lozenges?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, Cindy that sounds so hard to go through - for Ben and for the rest of you! Sending the healing vibes Massachussetsward.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Now, where's this biodata stuff?

Right here, lady. And read some of those testimonials. People sure do think I'm awesome.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

{{{P-C}}} Stick to your guns.

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

I'm so sorry to read about your friend's death. Will your step-mom find out from this newsletter?
She found out when I called and left a message and then emailed her the scant info I had from the newsletter, which was really just name and date. Just bizarre to find out like that...

I am so glad Ben was seen in the ER and will sending all my healing vibes and prayers your way.

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

P-C, I was thinking about your biodata while trapped in neverending traffic on the Bay Bridge earlier today... others here have said it better, but I just wanted to chime in and nodnodnod along with them.

What you wrote is likely to net you a smaller pool of interested women, but a much larger percentage of those women will be genuinely interested, and likely to be interesting to you. Fewer responses, maybe, but a better chance of a true, happy match among the responses you do get.

None of it is going to be totally arranged out of the blue without the two of you even ever meeting in the flesh and getting a chance to back out, is it? Because I can imagine someone a little stiff and extremely wedded to tradition (maybe someone a bit like a younger version of your parents) and her parents reading a P-C's-mom-approved biodata sheet, and then meeting the actual you, finding him strange and offputting, and backing off feeling vaguely cheated and lied to. And I can see someone who would get you, and the parents who get her, reading a P-C's-mom-approved biodata sheet, feeling like that's just the sort of stiff dullish young man they can't see their daughter being happy with, and skipping right past you.

In short, yeah, your mom is wrong like a wrong thing on this. Probably with the best intentions, probably all fearful for your not-like-herness and the lonely future she's convinced herself you're doomed to unless you start behaving like -- well, like someone completely not yourself in any way -- but intentions and all, she's just wrong.

Vibing hard for resolve and kindness and patience and no tears when you have the inevitable talk with her about this one.

Oh, and shit, Cindy, what a brutal week! Too much sick and miserable for one family in one week. Yay on no pneumonia, but I am giving the rest of your past week the stinkeye and glaring meaningfully at the week to come.
