If you were in Florida this might have been DH. He says that.
Lindsey: Why--why did you... Lorne: One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be. Lindsey: You kill me? A flunky?! I'm not just...Angel...kills me. You...Angel... Lorne: Good night, folks.

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.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I "told" my parents about my tattoo by wearing a swimsuit with an aggressively plunging neckline that framed my sternum quite nicely.
My mother is pretty much all "nice people don't do that!" which means I just wear her down with "am I suddenly not nice, then?" until she's numb.
My father just looked, and went on with his day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My sis was going out with her GF for many years before she came out to our parents. Their decision to have a baby kinda' forced the issue. So when my sis finally did come out, I told her, "When you come out to mom and dad, don't tell them right away that [her GF] is trying to have a baby and that I'm going to be the father. You should probably wait a month."

My parents have tried to lead me conversationally into coming out, or at least made it clear through clumsy avoidance of gender-specific pronouns that they're totally okay with that.
It's tempting sometimes to test them, but I'm gonna be good.

My parents did that with me for a while. I hadn't dated in years and then when I was dating I just never brought it up with them. My sister told me at one point that she and mom were convinced I was gay.

My parents, my sis and her GF all thought I was gay. Then when a high school friend of mine died of AIDS, my parents started to worry that I might have it. Argh. I also have a number of straight friends whose parents thought they were lesbians.
I dunno - it's as if our parents' generation find extended singledom even more confusing or unlikely than homosexuality....

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Mine did not. In fact, I'm not sure my mother ever told my father.
Heh. My mom isn't thrilled that I got a tat, though she *does* think it's pretty. My dad, on the other hand, was in Vermont with me when I got the tat, and, being the ultimate mellow laissez-faire dude, he bought the tattoo artist a beer after he was done inking me. (The tattoo place is literally upstairs from my bro's restaurant.)
It's 5 degrees out. Did I mention that The Boy is CAMPING this weekend?!? Did I mention that he's INSANE?!? Though, to be fair, he's camping 3 hours south of here, so it's warmer....it's *18* degrees.
He's going to literally freeze his balls off, and then I'm going to be peeved.

I dunno - they sell sleeping bags designed for such temperatures. If I had the proper equipment I might like to give camping in such cold a try. Not sure if I'd like it, but you never know....
