Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

[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.

Our wings are not tired.
He is a computer person and she won't look at one, so I am going to attempt to write an email as clearly and forcefully as I can that we feel her health is seriously at risk. My sibs all feel that he is just being self-centered because he wants his vehicle and he wants to drive. Personally, I think he is in denial about how fragile mom is right now. I hadn't visited in a few months because she wasn't up to the disruption of my whole family. I went alone this weekend. She looks much older than the last time I saw her. She didn't even walk me out to the car. It was enough of an effort to stand up and hug me good-bye.

yeah, and he might just not be seeing it because, to him, it's been gradual.
