I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

[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.

This means being without a car for a while, but it should all be worth it.

I know it has been a frustrating ordeal for you, but yay for seeing the light at the end of the tunnel finally. Also, go you will the bazillion phone calls. I dread those projects.

Thanks, Laura. Can someone tell my mother that it is safe for me to drive home after having one margarita 2 hours ago?

I could write you a note. Chances are the worst damage from the margarita is a sugar high.

“Not dead yet!”

You know, I don't get on my ethnic high horse all that often-- there are a lot of things I laugh at that a lot of other Latinos might find offensive, but I think I may have just found my limits. A McDonald's commercial featuring what looks like a Latino family who've all brought their lunches to the park and they're all doing various little rituals before they pull the game pieces off the drink and fry containers. And thing is, several of the things they're doing are more Santería in nature and I don't know... for some reason, that really bugged me. If it had been a more mixed ethnic group, I think I might have found it funny and laughed it off, but that it was exclusively Latino just... bugged me and I can't quite put my finger on why.

Lewis looked at me like I was mildly nuts while I sat there, my jaw hanging down. Who knows-- maybe I'm overreacting. I'm not sure.

She finally let me leave, and I was fine now. I was not even close to tipsy.

I don't know but it's hot in San Francisco. I suspect we have your heat.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Steph, I know you are off on Friday -- but is it possible for you to arrange for someone else to pick him up? Because you had plans? Maybe not this time,but in the future. And tomorrow -- can you talk to other people and just let them know you need help? Not today, but in the future. Be honest -- tell them Dad isn't doing anything until he has to go into the hospital, it is scaring you shitless, and you need help so you don't lose it.

I'm not really good at letting go of things I feel responsible for. I really wanted to run away earlier this week. and spend two days away from anyone but strangers. But even if I ran away I'd be worrying about the cat ( that matt can take care of and Matt ( who even in his worried state will only drink to much caffeine and worry all day -- things I can' prevent anyway). So running away won't help. So I just suggest putting a plan inaction so you can et that 5 minutes of breathing time in
