{{{Tep}}} A meltdown is perfectly justified with all the shit you've been dealing with, methinks.
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

[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’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

{{{ 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

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
That's really awesome! Seriously.
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.

oof, Teppy. That sounds like a whole lot of Not Fun. Take care of yourself, OK?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is there a non-racial reading for that sentence? It leapt out for me because I've never seen it used otherwise.
I was hoping the article would name the colour of lipstick used in that illo. Not that I think it would work on me, precisely. A bit too much blue.

I was taking it literally, and just assumed it was a well-known saying (in wine circles, maybe?) I'd never heard before. But now that you say that... now it's reading all "licorice lips like candy" kinda thing.
(Oh good. Now I have "Black Boys/White Boys" running through my head. "Beautiful as girls....")
