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.

[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.

“Not dead yet!”
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?

Our wings are not tired.
I. HATE. Fucking. DRAMA.
Oh, yeah. I am quite tired of being told I can't possibly be excited because I am not jumping up and down and waving my arms. I'm obviously not upset because I'm not screaming. Meltdowns don't serve any useful purpose for me, and witnessing them upsets me more than I apparently am able to express.

Whang a saucepan at him?
Hee. But against my nature. Today a saucepan, tomorrow the steak knives. I have problems with escalation.

I wish I knew better ways of dealing with drama-lovers in the work place. that one supervisor that I sometimes complain about - she's a drama-lover. Her responses to residents' behaviors tend to whip them up more, and serve to increase behaviors. She has stated outright that my low-key responses are the same as not dealing with issues that absolutely have to be dealt with. Any suggestion that I make that getting flustered by their behaviors increases the behaviors is met with "I do not agree. I am not making things worse." And yet, I can accomplish with one or two simple prompts things she cannot get done with five minutes of lecturing.
I have seen her wait until a client has calmed down, then go and say, "Why are you so crabby? You need to stop being so crabby? Quit being so crabby! You have to stop! What is making you so crabby?" Without giving the person time to answer, regardless of the fact that the person does not have the verbal skills to answer.
I've started doing the blank response thing to her, but it only changes how she talks to me. I need a cluestick to use in preventing her from whipping the clients into a frenzy.

I'm skipping tons to get hairpats. I had a 4" fibroid removed yesterday. Still in hospital but doing alright (thank you morphine).
