Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

[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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

{{{{{Nora}}}}} I can't think of adequate words to tell you how sorry I am. ~ma to you and all your family who have had to deal with way too much lately.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
because... sheesh. If I weren't me, I'd think I was Penlinding this shit.Nah, life just occasionally kicks us all in the metaphorical 'nads. I had two funerals on one day and moved states two days later. It was a clusterfuck and was the third funeral that month, two at my parent's house. Clust.Er.Fuck.
I am just so sorry you and Tom are going through this, Nora.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Thanks, guys.
Thankfully I don't need to take any time off from work (the family is local to me) so I don't have to be That Worker taking off scads of time for various funerals to the point of eye rolling disbelief.
AH! Must... turn....off...Law & Order....marathon!!!!!!!! Gotta go to bed.

Our wings are not tired.
{{Nora and family}} I'm so sorry you have had so much loss this year.
My sister told me earlier today that her friend's granddaughter (age 14) had overdosed and died a couple days ago. At a party. Her friends thought she was asleep. Scary.

I am shoe shopping. I need new basic shoes for work, and DH gave me a gift certificate to Zappos.com, so...
Unfortunately, I have annoying feet. They are hard to fit (wide toe, narrow heel, low arches, this weird knobby bit on top that means any shoe that covers my whole foot as opposed to just my toes has to be adjustable, as in some kind of lace or buckle), and I wear custom orthotics.
So, be warned, these aren't pretty shoes. I'm looking for a practical brown or black shoe that'll go with almost anything. Here are the candidates:
Thoughts?

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
From Laga's link at 418, the chap staying at home:
When asked whether he also had another relationship, he said: "I hate to be discourteous but I think that's our business."
A damn sight more polite than the response I'd give. Which is one reason everyone should be glad I'm not famous.

Susan, I like the first ones best.
