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.
Bye, now. Have good sex.

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.

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, 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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
From Toddson's link:
The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice.
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....")

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice.
Huh. Now that you mention it, I can see it, but I was taking it that berries get darker as they ripen. Huh.

Being high yellow I probably have extra sensitivity to the line. It makes me angry. Perspective.

Yeah. The "huh" was entirely about me being an idiot and not seeing that connotation until it was addressed. Privilege blindness.
