I'm sorry, Hil.
You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both.

[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.
This whole process is rough, Hil. Hang in there.

My dad decided that what we give to the dog will help him.
So he bought a 30 pound dog food bag, when we needed a new one.
On purpose.

I hate when I spend more time putting the baby down for a nap than he spends actually napping. Argh!

My friend Sandy's dog Gracie (who has cancer too)is refusing to eat dog food so Sandy's giving her whatever she wants: this week, for example, I know that she's had prime rib and roast chicken (from Whole Foods).
Also, the old burger and rice standby.

My former supervisor just stopped me in the hall to ask about Hubby. Nominally just a courteous gesture, but he had to chase after me from his office to do so, and he's not someone I'm in the habit of speaking to casually. It all felt weirdly significant in some way. He's an odd man, to me, very local, with little experience of the world outside of the Utah Mormon sphere. He finds the tale of Hubby's health etc. to be very disturbing and he doesn't know how to react, especially as I am very reticent about talking about it to people who are acquaintances-not-friends. He always strikes me as wanting to say "You're making that up," because I don't think he can conceive of living a life like mine. This encounter felt like he wanted to dabble in some high drama, which is probably unkind to him, but it's so completely out of the blue for him to make such an effort to find out what's going on.

Go on, Sister Girl! and I do mean Sister -
Today, “60 leaders of religious orders representing 59,000 Catholic nuns” sent a letter to federal lawmakers urging them to pass the Senate health care legislation. They decried the “false” information floating around about abortion provisions and said that the bill’s “historic new investments” for pregnant women are the “REAL pro-life stance.”
