Speaking of first-world, I have new hair! It's very different.
Pics please?!
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

[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 think of the Phoebe line from Friends, which I always remember as being, "Except that was a real problem and this is high-school bullshit!" even though I know that couldn't have been the word.

"Your problem is that you don't know the difference between an inconvenience and a problem."One of my Social Studies teachers in 5th or 6th grade had this thing of learning the difference between "wants" and "needs". It was a rather good lesson, one I still heed to today. It helps with the frugal side of me.

"Your problem is that you don't know the difference between an inconvenience and a problem."
This is huge. I wrote an article recently about how to put out your 'catastro-fires'...based in Albert Ellis' Rational Emotive Therapy. It's so liberating to be able to see the difference between 'it's killing me!' and 'it's uncomfortable.'
I'll have to go back and read some of my Robert Fulghum. I remember loving 'It was on fire when I lay down on it.'

The status is NOT quo.
Don't get me wrong--I think we all have a right to our feelings of frustration or anger or grief. It was just a reality check for me, personally. Powerful.

It's just, to have that little anecdote stated with such clarity...normally when I'm confronted with How Much Worse It Could Be, the enormity of the Worse is too much for my little brain to deal with. It's like, when we lived in Romania it was a really really hard winter, and the city was starving. There was a segment on the TV news about how rats had eaten a baby in a cradle. I have no idea if it was true or not (Romanian news tended towards the Weekly World News with comfortable frequency), but it was just one more thing in my day to day existence of people with no heat, no water, no food, no medical care, no hope.
On a lighter note, I've decided that my new hair is Scully hair: [link]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It's totally Scully Hair, and it's fabulous!

Beauty!
Very different, but really flattering in every way.
