[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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Poor (NOT AT ALL A JERK) Nora. I hope your grandma is okay.

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Be well soon, Nora's grandma.

Your car is a jerk, though. Get your shit together, car!
You may be on to something there.

What is even happening?
Nora, much health to your grandmother, and some perspective for your mom, and peace for you.
And the hairy eyeball to your jerkface car.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
much ma~~ for your grandmother, Nora.
I am wondering if I am going to ever get past the mmrffle stage today. DH says it is a step up from gronk because it is two syllables, but I'm not sure. I think mmrffle is gronk's sleepy cousin.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Much, much health-ma to your grandma, and a stern glare to your car.
You are not not not a jerk, Nora dear!

I agree. No audible vowels? That's a give-away, I think.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Nora, do you feel like a jerk b/c your mom thinks that you "should" go to the hospital? I'm only asking because we have really similar family dynamics (that are in NO way unhealthy or dyfunctional, or fucked up, nope, no way, not at all....), and that's what would have happened with me.
Unless I'm misreading. But it sounds like there was a maternal guilt trip foisted upon you in lieu of the Unsafe Car Trip.
And, honestly, if your grandma has an infection or even pneumonia, it's certainly not something to just pooh-pooh as no big deal, but neither is is OMG!Life!Threatening!, and so the fact that you can't make it to the hospital because you don't want to, you know, HAVE A CAR ACCIDENT, isn't a Bad Daughter Moment(TM).
Or perhaps I'm extrapolating a teensy bit too much, and if I am, tell me to shut the hell up.
Worrying about your grandma is normal. But it doesn't sound life-threatening, and you aren't begging off visiting so that you and Tom can snort cocaine of the asses of the hookers you invited over for the orgy tonight, you know?
