Totally. I'm sure having all the team with him doesn't help either. My suggestions on top of a dozen 17yo opinions are likely overload for him.
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

[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.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Plus, he is used to be able to fix things. Those of us that don't always fix things find it easier to ask for help.

“Not dead yet!”
Yeah, late at night, unfamiliar setting, plus adolescent suggestions are not so great as mixy things.

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.
Exhaustion and overload make you do the wacky.

He just called back and had me choose between towing it home or staying the night up there. Easy choice. Get some rooms, a shower, and some sleep. The league only pays $25 a room and things will have to look better in the light of day. They left early this morning.
I'm relieved he is calmed down some. Thanks to all for the companionship while I was in wait mode.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
You're giving links to all of these beautiful kitchen stuff IS NOT NICE. I WANT. (Keep posting!).
Look at all the clicky-links of fire and skully things!
I spotted at least 4 look alike skull rocks in my hike yesterday. One looked like a duck's skull!
In Unrelated News: that scene in Futurama, where the Professor is looking for Pazuzu and causing a traffic jam? I'm laughing about it since I saw it a week ago. "Pa-zu-zu!". Yeah, comedy is laughing at others' expanse, but at least they're fictional characters.
Will go to J-lem for the next 2 days soon. And then, after spending time with my great aunt, I'll start the greatest experiment of all: trying to prove that it's not only the system that shapes humans, but also the humans who are shaping the system. I'll have to kill myself if I'll wake up one day and find I've become a right wing settler. Really.

The status is NOT quo.
{{{Shir}}} It's a lot to handle. We're here for venting, hugging, and general distraction.

Ima collapse in bed and try not to think about how much more I have to do tomorrow.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I am writing my literature review. I'm 700 words in to what should end up about 3000, so I'm getting there, but it's excrutiatingly hard work, because I'm having exhaustion issues. About twice a year, my condition descends into two or three months of being too exhausted to walk across the room, and having to sleep about every four hours. It has timed it really well this time around, with six weeks left until my dissertation deadline. Genius move, body of mine.
I had to scan posts, as I am tired tired tired, but best wishes to anyone dealing whose family is dealing with snake bites or diesel mistakes.
Kristin, that's a lot of work achieved. I am envious.
Shir, best of luck with everything. I can't see you becoming any kind of right-wing type. But keep posting here, and we'll warn you if we see early signs of this!
I'm off for a nap before starting work again.
