Barb, it's fine, you don't have to apologize.
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

[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.

This whole conversation made me text my sis an "I love you, hold on" message. She's gonna think I lost it. I expect an "are you dying?" message back.When she calls back, let her know we all are vibing for her! I don't get the news at work, so I haven't heard more than the article I spotted at Google news. And I confess, my knowledge of the geography over there is bad, so I'll put in safe~ma thoughts for you too. It looks like you have a fair amount of traveling to get to your parents place every weekend.
I'd like to sign my name to WindSparrow's thoughts:
I'd like Peace on Earth for Christmas. I'd like an end to hatred and violence. Life's crappy enough, can you do something to keep us from being crappy to each other? Please?
Now I'm grumpy, too: [link]Hmm, I wonder if medical folks working for the armed services can say "I don't want to fix him/her up, as you will just send them back to kill more people, and Jesus taught me killing is a sin". I wonder how that would go over? Not that it could happen, as I'm sure the armed forces docs are under different rules. Either way, it's messed up.
There was more to say, but can't recall. ~ma all around. Seems like it's needed!

Thanks. It is appreciated.

Shir, your sister is in my thoughts. Continued saftey~ma to her. I'm curious as to what happens if a citizen is disabled or otherwise physically unable to serve in the army? Are they required to do some other type of service?
It's my younger nephews 4th birhday today! I can't believe it. It seems like he was just born. He's been doing extremely well since his surgery.

No, but some of them can volunteer to serve anyhow, and do it.
And happy birthday to your nephew!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Nice!
On a related note, the writing homework I set my kids over the holiday was to write a story explaining why they couldn't do their homework. Could be anything - the dog ate it, they were kidnapped by Darth Vader just before they could start writing, their fingers turned into spaghetti, they were distracted by the sight of a small girl chasing a rabbit down a rabbit hole, whatever.

Nice assignment Fay. My son would LOVE such a challenge. He has a scary imagination when it comes to these types of things.
Recently they had to rewrite a Christmas carol or story into something completely different. CJ and his partner took The Night Before Christmas and rewrote it into something more Nightmare before Christmas-ish with zombies and such.

Oo we had that at the holiday party. One of the cast members did one inserting all the folk from the theater. It focused on the Ghost of Frank Lloyd Wright haunting us because of the elevator in his building (he apparently hated elevators). It was cute.
