Thinking quickly of my family and friend nurses, I pity the idiot that tries to say something pervy about their occupation.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I have met erika's dog. She's got personality and is ADORABLE!
Bobbi, your pack is lovely. Your friend's pool is also awesome.
buffysmglover, your cats are also verra cute.
My dog Sam is sort of a rescue and he's a shepherd mix. Very sweet and good with the kids. Oswald the cat has grown from a psycho kitten to a very mellow adult cat.
Lee, I think I like Perkins' Lion cut--I hope he forgives you.

Tim Cox - Buffy: Anya, that thing you created burst through solid pavement and ate her dog.
Anya (anguished): Oooh, puppy!
Fred is FAT. I think he's going to be fine. He just cant jump up into the chair right now and I think it hurts him to walk.

Yes, erikaj, the only downside to dogs is the unreasonably short lifespan. I find it appalling that my sisters's evil parrot will probably outlive us all.
My friend's mom has threatened that he gets custody of her parrot when she dies—which date is hopefully still several decades away. I've always wondered why something that small with a relatively high metabolism can live practically forever when large livestock mammals can't.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Did you hear about the Chihuahua that saved the baby from the snake bite? I had heard the story, but hadn't seen the details. I was hearing bits and pieces from my dad, but he kept choking up around the details so I finally just looked it up. I have a chihuahua. She didn't alert me when there was smoke in the house. I picture her more like Brain, from Pinky and the Brain. She looks for opportunities that may get rid of the humans in her house.
I actually watched the people dump our cat that we had for several years. They slowed down their car, tossed it into a yard, and then sped off. I was so shocked by what I was seeing that to this day I can't remember what kind of car it was. I told my ex to look out the window, we just got a cat.

My dad was on road construction projects for years and witnessed many animals being dumped. Apparently people figured the workers would take home the animals. We got more than one puppy that way.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
That's just mind-boggling. I will never understand why people behave the way they do.

I told my ex to look out the window, we just got a cat.
Wow.
There was a sad story in the NY Times a few weeks ago about how in rural areas, a lot of animals get abandoned because their owners can't afford to feed them, much less pay their vet bills, and some people take them on anyway, and nearly go broke as a result. It was really sad, and something of an eye-opener. I realize that pets are a luxury of Western societies in many ways, but I guess I'd forgotten that they're a luxury even in Western societies.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Okay, maybe by Buffista standards I *am* a prude. That still makes me adventurous among hooples, though. Oh, I think I get it, Hec, it's like the flip-side of the sponge-bath question I used to get all the time.(isolation does occasionally have its benefits, in that I don't now, but I'm here posting this on Saturday night, so, it's probably a wash.) Things like that can be hard for me to talk about, and I stil think nurses should be able to talk about movies or dogs without confronting it, though.
Nobody should be committing cyber frottage on Bobbi or Jen because they're nurses.
And certainly nursing and caretaking have a whole different set of associations for you. Plus, I expect it takes more of a leap on your part to imagine somebody else being in control as a sexual plus, instead of a dreary everyday.

Buffy Books Not Finished? HERE buffysmglover | 23-Jun-07 at 10:15 pm | Permalink glad you liked the video! sorry it took me a month to get back here. I need to ask about the books. Why did S&S stop with the one in January 2008? Alice Henderson said in my site’s chat last night that S&S had received tons of ideas for the books, including some from Alice. Did you have anymore planned? Nancy Holder | 11-Aug-07 at 10:18 pm | Permalink I’m sorry I’m so long in responding. Yes, I had many more ideas. My most recent idea consisted of sending everyone back in time, with alternating storylines. I saw Alice at Comic-Con and she had told me that there MIGHT be more books after all, so I’d better keep my idea under wraps for now. Suffice to say I would give my life’s blood to write it!
