Damndamndamn. Best of vibes to your whole family, Anne.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Mom's feeling pretty fried at the moment, actually. The big problem there is that she keeps insisting that there's nothing that anyone can do to help her. When she's stressed she goes very much into cocoon mode. She's spending most of the day at the hospital - which has become doubly fun because of the isolation.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Much ~ma to you and your family, Anne.
Beverly, just the right amount of ~ma to you!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Anne, is there anyone who can get her out of the hospital for a while? Even getting her to go somewhere nice for dinner (for values of "nice" that includes any place where they come to your table to take your order) might help her ease up for a bit.

I'll be dragging her out this weekend. Just for coffee, though. When she's stressed, what she really wants is the comfort of her own home and her own things. So, I may be picking up something nice to eat and bringing it over so she can be spoiled in the comfort of her own surroundings.

So if you gotta pee, just go and chat while on the can
Um, NO. Especially on a job interview, but in general, NO.
Sadly, the interview kinda sucked. I don't think I was terribly eloquent (or positive and bullshitty) in the "soft" questions ("what words would people use to describe your leadership skills?") or the "tell me about a time when...". Bleah. And he kept talking about one thing that I don't have experience with, which...yeah. I don't. Can't fake like I do. Ah well.
It is 4:30 here and I'm done with work for the day and back in my hotel room. I'm at a loss for what to go do.
Corrupt young minds?
This has so affected our (your mother's and mine) relationship that I have come to the pont where one of us (
Whoah. Hard core. Poor sis. Screwed on both ends--upsetting the fam AND having a shitty hubs.
You're starting to sound like me with my closing date that I still don't have
STILL??? Oh, i was so hoping for your sake...
The problem with waiting is.. well.. as the guy, shouldn't I take the initiative. I know that sounds horribly old fashioned, but garrum it,
Yes. Because if she's going to, great, but if not, no one is going to be shocked if you do.
perhaps if you tried three no trump?
Ooohhh...strong hand.
With a strong hand, do you really need a date?
HAH! Love this.
Ooof, Anne--strep AND staph?? Eesh. Too bad the drug I was working on (against staph) didn't actually end up...working. I've seen how icky those infections can be, best of luck to him. Didn't Teppy's boss get through a horrible flesh eating bacteria illness OK, even though he was old? It can happen!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, Anne, that seems pretty unfair. Tons of ~ma for your family.
Good luck with teh Real Estate Deal that Would Not Die, Vortex. It seems like you have been dealing with this for ever and maybe longer.

Vortex, I can't believe you haven't closed yet. How awful. You must be so frustrated. I hope it all gets worked out very soon.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Anne, I'm so sorry. I hope they find the right drugs so they can get to their bug-fighting work soon.
