So much job ~ma for Maria and Zoe ~ma for Pix and ND.
I'm so ready to arse 2008 in the ear.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

[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.

Job ~ma, Maria.
I don't wanna go to work. And yet there is coffee there that I don't have to make.

Mostly lurking...
First, holy shit Pix and ND. I am just so sorry. You guys have had such a horrible year. I had hoped that having Zoe would be such a bright spot for you guys. Ugh. So much ~ma to you all.
Hang in their Maria. Much ~ma to you and all those that may be affected by this decision.
I spoke up because I sensed that VW was feeling torn; that maybe she wanted to still give the gifts, but maybe felt like she couldn't lest the world think her improper or succumbing to the whims of her insensitive ex.
I fully get feeling protective of her and the grrrr, totally. I just think all of the feelings aren't mutually exclusive, that's all.
I do feel torn. I was planning on giving them the gifts until my dad informed me it would be inappropriate, then I got further advice that that would be the case. I am now back to leaning towards giving them the gifts, but not killing myself to try to get them done by the 21st. I appreciate the dialectic approach to the advice given :).
And I'm also sorry if I've been very bitchy about CBD and/or the breakup in this space (and in my LJ, actually). He really is not a bad guy, and I don't want to paint him that way.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'm still awake.
About the time I was up and decided to take the trash out at 4 am, I noted without interest that a big old Waste Management garbage truck was parked across the street. I thought nothing much of it, and got back in the house quickly because of the cold.
Anyway, because it is so cold, apparently whoever was manning the truck decided that he had to rev it up every so often.
Just often enough to keep me from falling asleep.
Gah.
At 6:30, I called Waste Management, and they don't open until 7 am. I left an annoyed message.
Then I called the police. Enough is enough.
He seems to have stopped with the revving.
But now it's 7:15 am, I might as well have breakfast.
And.. it's -6˚F now. *sigh*

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
You really haven't, VW. He's said some assy things, that just is what it is. But I haven't seen you ranting or painting him as an asshole generally.
Oh Zoe. Oh Kristin. Oh Drew.
I am so fucking over 2008.

A man in Willmar, MN was tired of the last eight years of kids TPing his property at homecoming. This year he sat out with night vision goggles and saw 15-20 (!) kids rush his property with toilet paper.
So he sprayed them with diluted fox urine. One of the kids tried wrenching the supersoaker from him, and another choked him, but he got free. A finger may or may not have been broken.
Now he's charged with assault.
Somehow that doesn't seem right. Sure they will be smelly, but they were trespassing with intent.

“Not dead yet!”
They attacked him on HIS property after they were caught trespassing.
And he's going to take the fall? I don't think so.

dcp just proposed starting up the good riddance thread for this year.
I think we should call it Goodbye and Good Riddance 2008: Ch-Ch-Changes

I'm glad TCG is stuck in. It sounds like the whole area was hit very hard, and I don't want him out there today. Our cable, phone, and internet are out, but it sounds like we're lucky to have power since many don't.

Now tagless for your comfort.
health~ma for Zoe
job~ma for Maria. Maria, I suspected the Senate Republicans were going to dig their heels in over the bailout. I watched some of the precedural votes in the House and they were drawing their line in the sand then.
vw, you've been remarkably fair to CBD. You broke up so there is going to be some level of bitching and this is a good place for that. We've got your back. I also felt like you really wanted to give those gifts. You derive great joy from what you give to other people and that is a one of the great things about you. No matter what you do, I'm sure there will be nagging feelings about the road not taken. That's natural. But do what feels best to you and don't worry about the rest.
Teppy's absence is unsettling.
