Wish I could send some to you, Shir.

Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

[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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Shir, I'm so sorry. We had something similar happen with Leister back in December. His was more widespread, though, when we found it, and he was having trouble breathing and was really uncomfortable, so we didn't have a lot of time to say goodbye. They do find a way deep into your heart, those dogs.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Thank you all.
We couldn't persuade him to eat anything tonight but a cold cut with his old pain-killer on, and that took some time too. I hope he's not too much in pain at the moment - it's liquid, and I'm not sure he got all of his doze.
To conclude it all, just as my dad said: "not without a fight". So not without a fight, little fellow. Not without a fight.

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
Oh Shir, I'm so sorry.
Keep him comfy, love him a lot. I'm so terribly sorry.

{{Shir}} so sorry.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My sis began a crusade on the first vet.
Good.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm looking after Ryan by myself today. (Wallybee's at work, his grandparents are taking a well-earned vacation in Cairns.) First time I've had him on my own for a full day. In fact, I think it's the first time anyone has looked after him on their own for a full day.
I think the upshot of this is, Ryan is a very fortunate little man, and Wallybee's parents are awesome.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Indeed, that is majorly awesome, bt. 10000 parents are grinding their teeth with jealousy and they don't know why.

It is true. Wallybee's parents' visa expires in about a month, though, at which point things will change. I'm worried about how he'll cope with it; I think he's going to miss them a lot. (I know we will too.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Honestly, you'll miss them more than he will. I mean, he will miss them but it won't be traumatic as long as you and the Wallybee are there. Younger kids are pretty flexible about this stuff.
Matilda was with her daycare provider, Maggie, from age 3 months until she was 3+ years and was very close with her. But she made the transition to preschool very easily. Within a week. And now is totally bonded with her teacher there, but that too will be a relatively short term relationship.
They don't really remember all this stuff at this age, though I do believe that all the love goes into them and builds up a sense of trust about people and the world.
