Oy, I meant to say that too. I'm glad your dad is going to be okay, Tep.
We're in love. We're ... lovers. We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.

I bit off all my fingernails today worrying about how I'm going to tell my roommate that paying the bills on time is not negotiable. Yesterday I asked him if my reminding him sooner would help him pay on time. He said yes, but then hemmed and hawed and finally told me he just doesn't make enough money. I'm really sorry but neither do I.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I'm so sorry, Susan. And GC & GF. And all the people here dealing with the agony of loved ones suffering with illness. All kinds of wishes for strength and patience and peace. It is easier to deal with our own pain than that of our family. I hope that we can be here for you to some degree while you are there for them.
This.
He said yes, but then hemmed and hawed and finally told me he just doesn't make enough money. I'm really sorry but neither do I.
Shit! Awkward much. But, yeah - if he can't pay, then you need a new room mate, because you sure as hell can't carry him. He needs to find a place he can afford, if the problem is that he can't afford the place. Because that is Not Fair At All.
First crush objects: James Mason, in The Wicked Lady. Omar Sharif, in Funny Girl. Gemma Craven, in The Slipper and the Rose. (I still vividly recall the bit where she was lying down and there was all this cleavage!)

Omar Sharif, in Funny Girl
And what about Lawrence of Arabia, Fay?! :P

Well, I was 7 at the time - we're talking earliest crush objects, yes? Musicals were a lot more my cup of tea than hours-long historical epics.
In later years, of course, I duly saw Lawrence of Arabia and was duly smitten. And in much later years I was delighted to find the fanfic. But when I was a wee thing, my crushes were largely on people in musicals or in old movies. Pop stars didn't really ping my radar.
(I remember when my teacher - I would have been 7 or 8 - asked everyone who their favourite stars were, and we made a big bar chart thing to show it. iirc, Madness and The Jam were very popular. The one lone vote for Gemma Craven? That was me.)

Ooh! Avon from Blakes 7. And Servalan.

He said yes, but then hemmed and hawed and finally told me he just doesn't make enough money. I'm really sorry but neither do I.Yikes! Ya, hello! You aren't the Bank of Laga here. Ask him whats a way that y'all can work it out. Maybe pre-pay $20/wk (or whatever) rather tan lump sum at end of month. Either way, best of luck. Money talks are never easy.
ION, my ear hurts. Seems everyone in my family is shy to call, but once they do... HOURS on the phone. I just got off the phone with my brother (whom we call the hermit)... THREE HOUR call. It was great to chat with him. Who knew we both love Sudoku.

Yes, money talks are never easy. Best of luck, Laga, with that one.
I duly saw Lawrence of Arabia and was duly smitten.
Aha. It's not just me, then.

Aha. It's not just me, then.
Definitely not.
And from a bit ago, because I couldn't just let this go,
I just heard that a friend broke her leg in a vacuum cleaning accident: I always knew that vacuum cleaners aren't to be trusted.
Vindicated at last!!
And, most importantly, I just don't even know what to say about all the troubles facing folks loved ones. It sucks, and I wish you all the health and coping ~ma in the world.

Susan, GC & GF lots of peace~ma for you and yours. Cancer is so cruel, and I wish it could be literally beaten because I would happily contribute to kicking it's ass. Instead, I'll think thoughts filled with hope.
Steph, I'm glad you got some good, if strange, news about your Dad's heart. It's wonderful to hear about good doctors, who sit down and consider their patients as individual beings, who give advice based on what's best for them, and who explain it all well. Gold star for Dr. Cardiac.
