doggy~ma for Mooshu.
Congratulations, P-C!
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

[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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Vibes still going out to your dad and the team caring for him, omnis. Almost halfway done by now.
Lots and lots of pet~ma to all the critters who need it.
And happy fucking birthday, erika! The universe owes you not just a good year, but a fucking brilliant one; here's hoping it starts now.
And congrats, P-C. And please hold onto this as proof that you can be a smart, competent grown-up; hang onto it and use it to shore up your confidence when the big not-fun boundary drawing starts with your family. Everyone else has already said all the best and wisest stuff (especially Liese, but really everyone), and all I can suggest is What They Said, and maybe practice?
Do an improv. Talk to your brother. Think of the absolute worst, most wounding, wounded, manipulative things either parent could possibly say and do, and run through all the worst-case scenarios with a sib or a trusted friend until you've got a script. (I have totally done this for difficult conversations and it sounds loony but it does actually help.)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Great news P-C!!! Congrats!!!
Continued & extra cat~ma for Rigatoni.
No news from NY. Still too soon. I'm going on no news is good news.

Fingers crossed for your da omnis.

This would be my advice as well, PC. JZ is wise. And congrats on the promotion. May the acknowledgment ripple out into all areas of your life.
