Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.  

[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'm just hoping your dad is keeping a full head of hair.

Er, mostly?

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Er, mostly?

Aw, dang.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I love Emmett, y'all. Not in a creepy "waitin' till he's marryin' age" way, but I think he's great.

Santa...I sorta believed in it, but it's hard when you're a kid who might actually *need* a miracle at her house. I sort of wish my mother had never told me something *quite* so fantastic.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

They're reporting now that at least one of the hostages has been released.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Now they're saying both hostages have been released.

Hubby and I went to the doctor this morning. I wish we had separate appointments, but it's more practical for us to share. I had a blood test to check my A1C number, and it was down significantly from last time, though not ideal. Hubby's response was, "Well, not what we want, but better." I got annoyed, feeling like I just go the "Hm, an A. But that could have been an A+, couldn't it?" thing from a parent.

I would have preferred the vindication before the critique, "Hey, better, but it needs to come down." Hubby thinks that's very wrong headed of me--it got very tense for awhile, he hates when I challenge him on anything--because the affirmation should come last so it sticks.

Which order do people prefer to hear that sort of thing, praise mixed with the acknowledgement that more work needs to be done? To me, hearing the negative first feels like the negative is the first thing that comes to mind and the positive is an afterthought.
