I'm glad it was all as peaceful as it could be.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

[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.
{{{Shir}}} I'm so sorry. It just sucks that your life is so filled with personal tragedies at the same time the world seems to be going to shit around you.

I'm like this and I desperately envy people who not only have the histrionic meltdowns, but I can't quite figure out why they always wind up with the sympathy as well.
I don't envy the histrionics, but I do envy the sympathy. People tend to assume that because I'm not crying, I don't need a hug.

I also grew up with the extremely misguided idea that if I acquiesced to someone else's viewpoint or acknowledged that they were right in a personal argument, then I had "lost." I was caving in and had no spine.
OMG! This is my husband's family! Arguments with them were operatic epics, and they were baffled by me because my family style was icy Yankee disdain. Displeasure was shown by failure to engage, not by whanging the saucepans at each other.
Now, how do I resolve this after 23 years of marriage to a man who fails to see that challenging his worldview is a sign of love?

You know what's nummy? When a cat who has been snuggled up on a heat grate, comes to snuggle up on you after the furnace has stopped blowing the warm air.
