Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?  

[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.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

laga, I've been thinking about you and your mom in this situation. I think it is possible for you mom to say "look, x is rude to me and it is something I wouldn't take from my own child. " then maybe set conditions ( large family parties , public places only.) and even if she can't set conditions - it might give her reasons for leaving early or not attending something. and rude is a good word. - someone can decide you are just oversensitive - or they can pay attention.

anyway - good luck.

Job ~ma for everyone who needs it. I am happy to report that after 6+ months of unemployment, my DH has been offered a job in the subject matter he was hoping for -- phew! I think I deserve honorable mention in the Wife category.

We are off this afternoon to Richmond, VA, where my parents, both sisters and their families will gather for the annual week of visiting and annual prayers my sisters don't kill each other. My job is to spoil their children.

All that said, if there is a Buffista in the East Bay area who would like to do me a favor, a friend just had a baby and I would like to get her a gift certificate to a restaurant near their place in El Cerrito. If anyone is willing ping me at my profile addy, please?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Congrats Sparky DH.

If you don't get another offer, I can get out to El Cerrito later this week. Some places will let you purchase a gift cert over the phone and will mail it for you -I have done that before for a long distance friend.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

DUDE. Some of those pictures are from my site. Like, right off my site, barely renamed.

Too funny! And since I'm stealing from them right now, it's all the cycle of the pretty.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Laga--I wouldn't say anything to my sister. The Husband is the one you both have trouble with. Talking to your sister makes it her responsibiliy, when the issue is entirely with him.

I think that you need to talk to both, but when you talk to your sister, make it clear that you aren't asking her to intervene, you just want her to know why you don't want to spend time with him.
