Libkitty, I'm glad you had such a nice birthday.
Hugs and -ma to all the Bitches who need them.
I'm insomnia girl tonight. I was keeping TCG awake with my tossing and turning, so now I'm up.

[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.
Hope you can get some sleep, sj. Or that the other coast wakes up soon to play with you.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Thanks, Cass. I think I'm going to count the sleep I had as sufficient. I hope you sleep well.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I am at school on the first day of spring break, doing Saturday detention. I have two students, and all of Season 7 of Buffy. AND I get paid about $150 for it.
Even though I had to wake up early on a Saturday, it could be worse.

But behind closed doors, I know I'll never hear the end of it if I don't go.
P-C, you're never going to hear the end of anything. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. Since they're always going to be ragging at you for something, you might as well do what you want. Just buy your cousin a present. Or take her out to dinner by herself and talk about the rest of the family. She's probably as frustrated as you are. For one, I suspect that at 16 she'd rather spend her birthday with her friends.
It's lovely to hear about your birthday, libkitty.
Once lice aren't attached to people, they starve to death pretty quickly.
The news keeps saying "Oh, my god. Don't get in your car!" The Final Four is here tonight, and they expect a brazillion crazed basketball fans.

HMOG, I am totally not feeling this annotated bibliography work today.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Just buy your cousin a present. Or take her out to dinner by herself and talk about the rest of the family.
This. Tell your aunt that rather than be rushed and put in a token appearance, you'd like to treat your cousin to a really special dinner(emphasize just the two of you, so you don't wind up treating everyone to dinner). Insert phrases about importance of family, special birthday, yadda yadda yadda.
I agree that there's a good chance your cousin is probably just as frustrated and would love to find an ally within the family.

Also? Yes, for reals.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I am thinking P-c, that there might be a point in what the others are saying. Maybe it is time for the younger generation to start coming together

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'd actually vote for token appearance with present, followed by Special Dinner Dinner or Day Trip with her after. That should mollify a bit.
Take her into San Francisco and show her around. Lots of shoe stores on Haight Street, plus Amoeba. Or to the Mission and the Pirate store and you could go to Bombay Bazaar and get saffron ice cream.
