what time? I have an afternoon thing already planned.
Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.
'Destiny'
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

you don't have to bribe me to see ya! I'll call when I'm done at D&P's. Dunno when that will be, as we haven't seen each other in 2 years.

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.
Askye, I got the same "don't react, the bullies only do it because..." bullshit as a kid too. Which I think is SHITTY advice for a seven year old. Adults should fucking do their jobs and stop the bullies and punish them and not expect superhuman feats of maturity when small children are being TORMENTED by their peers!
I got it too. In fourth grade, one of my teachers had the brilliant idea of sitting me next to the kid that was picking on me, so that we would have to get along.

All is well that ends in pizza.
When I was out in California being Uncle Buck for my brother's kids, my 6 or 7 year old niece Laura was being teased in second grade, and the teachers all said "Oh, they propbably just like you."
I told her yes, sometimes people tease you because they like you, but other kids are just plain mean. I also told her to watch how they act at other times, and try to figure out which ones are the good kind.
I always hated the dismissive "advice" that "they probably tease you because they like you" and wasn't going to let her be misled by that line.

If I ever have kids, I'll probably make the mistake of telling them that I don't care if they get suspended for it, but they have my permission to cockpunch bullies - verbally or physically.

It wasn't until jr high that a fellow student told me I had to stand up for myself. After that it got a little bit better.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yay Barb!
If it makes you feel better Aimee, I may not bathe with the kids anymore, but I also don't care much if they see me naked in the shower or whatever.

“Not dead yet!”
Nate punched a bully in school after he'd been heckled and heckled and heckled by this kid. Since he had other kids who stood up for him and said he'd been taunted into hitting the kid, his suspension was only one day as opposed to three.
In the office, I told the vice-principal that we did not advocate hitting in our home and I was disappointed that Nate had felt the need to resort to such measures and that I would continue to reinforce that lesson, but that I would not punish him for defending himself.
