Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Aww, crap. Damn slow typing made me look really callous to Steph. Sorry about that, Hon.
Seriously, Steph, it sounds like you more than earned a meltdown. The crap has been flying thick-n-fast at you lately, it's to your credit that you held on as long as you did. You have to take care of you first before you have any to spare to take care of others. Much, much coping~, planning~, and finding-people-to-share-the-load~ma to you.
Does it help any to know that if it wasn't for you, specifically your awesome post about taking back the word "fat", I don't think I'd have been able to be The Fat Lady for this party? And that would have been a damn shame 'cause it's gonna be So Cool (once we figure out how to frame me). Because it's true. I was waaaay uncomfortable with the word, but you helped fix it.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

That's really awesome! Seriously.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
{{{Tep}}} A meltdown is perfectly justified with all the shit you've been dealing with, methinks.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
{{{ Teppy }}}}} Good for you for realizing that you couldn't quite make the trip. First step maybe? Maybe your father realizes the strain he's been putting on you now? Dunno. Either way. Lots of hugs!
SJ, I feel your pain wrt hand controls. Living in rural upstate NY as a teenager, it put off my first car for a few years. Of course AFTER I got a car with them already in it, we found out I could take a test, and confirmed that I didn't need them. And I am oh so grateful I took (and passed) that test. Car~ma for ya.
The set design we came up with rawks! (if I do say so myself)If it "rawks" a bit, I'm sure its just one of the legs is a lil shorter than the others. Put a little shim in there to help with it. No problem! Have one of the small kids 'shimmy' under the set for you. t /theater dork

And I even expounded about it to my BFF (not an HP fan). When I told her I was torn between Rita Skeeter and The Fat Lady (and leaning toward the latter - because the idea of being framed so excited me), she was like, "That's her only name? I don't think I want you to be her." I think she was worried about my self-esteem or something. So I explained about your post, and it's just a word, and no one thinks "tall" or "blonde" is an insult, and it's just quanititative rather than qualitative, etc. You're like Advil! And they tell two friends, and so on, and so on...

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Teppy, that was a totally deserved meltdown. Here's hoping it leads to your dad cooperating fully with changes in how he gets the care and whatnot he needs.

Teppy, I'm sorry everything's gotten so overwhelming. I hope your dad will take this as his cue to widen his support net a bit.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I have a bartender joke for Aimee.
::clears throat. Recites punchline in head first::
A camel walks into a bar.
He says, Bartender: The high balls are on me.
