Sean: I'll have to see. I'll keep you posted.
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

[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 hope you can enjoy your visit, Nora!
Oh, I am sure I will! My sister was telling me that she told the 4-year-old we were coming, and he just got a big ass smile on his face. I suspect most of that is because of his buddy with the funny voice, Uncle Tom, but I think he's OK with me as well.
They are a LOT of fun right now.

Now tagless for your comfort.
However, now S has the fever.
Ooof. I was afraid of that. Poor S.
Poor Em.
Love love LOVE that show.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
But yes, let's keep in close contact on what the plan is between now and then.
Mainly I wanted to say that I couldn't get the minivan through my contact at Enterprise. I think we're just gonna get a compact thingie from Budget down the street and go that way. Plus, cheaper on gas. Where are you guys staying?
Honey? Where is the battery charger? I wanted to list some eBay stuff but the camera is dead. He'p me! He'p me! I thuck!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I don't consider that to be "complaining," at least not in a whiny, refuses-to-take-good-advice way.
It is complaining! That's what happens when you voice your complaints.
So, in your opinion, is there *any* way to express a negative feeling without it being "complaining"? Is there any category for talking about legitimate worries/stresses/concerns? Or is it all just "complaining"?
"Oh, stop complaining about your Dad's heart disease, you big whiner! Turn that frown upside down and don't *dwell* on it! Come on, get HAPPY!!!"
Because I don't see things that way. I just don't.

Do you want me to check on a minivan at our Enterprise?
Also, I have no idea where we are staying. I should maybe do something about that. Where are you guys staying?

What is even happening?
Teppy, speaking of...how is your dad? What's up with the pain? Was it probably the Lipitor or what?

I don't know. I was looking for it the other day, couldn't find it and then got distracted.

I may have misread Hec, but I got the impression that he was saying that yes, it is all "complaining", literally, but that it isn't necessarily negative? Er. That's what I came away with.
Like being "selfish." Being selfish has been strongly associated with negative connotations, but it's not necessarily negative. Sometimes being selfish is a good and protective and positive thing. But we don't want to call those behaviors selfish because of the negative connotation.
