Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I need to go running after work or something, to get this crap out of my system.what was that cheesey movie in the 80's? Driving School? Or some such. SonExMach statement reminds me of the gal who thinks the Car "doctor" is a real doc, and follows his advice to "lube the rear end, and run it at top speed on the freeway"... Her face as she takes veggie oil enema was priceless. ::/12 year old::

ND, you've been up to see your family a lot this year to help with your mother. Don't feel guilty.
I am up from my after shopping nap, and I'm having my traditional after Thanksgiving, turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce sandwich. Yum! I think I look forward to this more than the food on Thanksgiving.

I am so very glad that I don't know the answer to this question.

Thanks for the kind words for sick GF. She is worse today, poor thing. I have cleaned up the dust from today's work, gone grocery shopping, and started a big pot of veggie beef soup. What I haven't done? Schoolwork! Argh..

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
FTR: endive, walnut, pear, roquefort salad tastes great the next day.
Its a little brown, but the endive and walnuts are still crispy.
This is almost unique in my lifetime salad experience.

The status is NOT quo.
Blah. I don't know if I'm getting sick or what, but I've had a nasty headache and a whole lot of fatigue all day. I feel back asleep around 2 and just woke up.

Pumpkin Pie:
Stop beating yourself up about it, ND. You don't suck. It sucks that spending time with your family is crazy making and painful. But that suck isn't your fault. Those that care about you, and that would include me, would much rather see you having a fun Thanksgiving with loved ones in the few moments you have free.This. So very much this.
ND, I don't know what to tell you about your family. The fact that they keep "forgetting" why you haven't made it down for the past five years and the subsequent guilt speaks far worse of them than it does of you, IMO, especially since you'll see them all for Christmas in a month. I think if this was happening to someone else you would see that, but it's just too personal to see clearly right now.
As far as the whole guilt about not wanting to see them goes, I think a lot of people here in thread will tell you that that's a very common sentiment.
In either case, I think we had a really wonderful day yesterday, and I would hope that your family would understand that you have your own family traditions with me now. I suppose that's a lot to ask, but I'm selfish about the fact that I get one special holiday with you. I'm also a little bummed that what was a great day is now tainted by guilt.
