ChiKat, you'd be married if only you'd fast for eleven Tuesdays straight and repeat this one mantra eleven times a day.
You know, part of me wants to do this just so you have scientific evidence to bring to your mom. . . . . What's the mantra??
Angel: If I'm not back in a couple of hours— Gunn: You're dead, we're screwed, end of the world.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The black woman/white man couples I know are mostly family--my family is mostly women, mostly black, and mostly living in white places. But eyeballing it flips the numbers quite dramatically.
The only guy I'll claim as having been a boyfriend was white, but I'm choosy about men, not race. I'm an equal opportunity luster.

Serious. She's already said it doesn't matter if you actually believe, right?

For those of you who identify as bisexual, have you had equally long relationships with same sex as you have with opposite sex partners?
No, but it was always harder to find women who wanted to go out with me. Men are the low hanging fruit.
Also, I tended to have bouts of monogamy followed by sleeping around. I have only had three relationships that lasted more than 6 months.

P-C, good news, Shrika and her mom ARE Gujarati! And her mother is really nice! I'll ask her mom if she knows a nice girl. Or I'll start buying Shrika comic books now for your back up plan.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Anyone else keep picturing Shakira?

I feel sort of sad because DH asked a few of the kids if they liked Owen. Not something I would have asked but all the kids replied, "Yeah...but he's kind of weird." This really breaks my heart. I think we're going to be in for a really rough road when he hits adolescence. But they were excited about coming and they did all seem to have a good time.

You know what? "Kinda weird" might be less intimidating once they get to name it like that.
Those rough adolescent times may well be mitigated by kids who've known Owen for years and enjoy his company and feel welcome in his home.

I hope so, Trude. I'm probably more bothered by this than I should be. It's why I don't ask that question from his peers.

This is one reason I'm glad we moved here. A small town with kids who have known him his whole life might be less judgemental of his behavioral quirks. But it's not so small that he won't be able to find kids with similar interests.

Our wings are not tired.
Embrace the weird! He's got an awesome imagination, and an incredible family. Things might get rough, but he's exactly the jewel you want and need and love.
And I wouldn't say that to just anyone about any kid. You know me too well for that.
