{{{{{Shir}}}} I'm so glad your sister is out of the army for now. Good luck to her in her studies.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

[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.

Nora, did Tom go to the doctor? How's he feeling?

He did not go to the doctor, but he says he is feeling better and feels like it is clearing up on its own. Hopefully that is the case!

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?

omnis, while I full well know money is an issue, I also know beyond a shadow of a doubt that being happy is worth money. Which job will make you happier? Even if the net result is a bit less money in CA, but you are happier at that job (and in that state), it's worth the money difference.
I took a pay cut when I left the corporate world to teach. And then had to take another one when I got RIF'd last year and took my current job. I got offered another job last year that would have meant no pay cut, but turned it down for this one. I am happy here (for the most part) and it's worth the money difference. And, it wasn't a small difference.

Good deal! Doctor or not, as long as he's feeling better, that's all that matters!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Shir, wise folk above explained it perfectly.
Happy? That's tough. Job wise, I think it's a wash. Outside of job, so cal. I think my fears of the unknown are my biggest obstacle. And the feeling of abandonment of current job.

With that, I can relate. Again, not very helpful, but I'd wait for a sign from above in this case.

I will say, that though we don't get to hang out much, we'd miss you.
I do want to stick up for Dallas though, because I don't think you have really had time to explore the city. It was many years before I learned about all the cool stuff here. I'm still learning more everyday. And I think we have a pretty strong arts community here.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And the feeling of abandonment of current job.
Tough noogies for them. It's an admirable feeling, but you need to do what's best for you.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I had a very interesting dream guest starring an adorable buffista.
So... Pete?
