For those following along at home, dear eldest son has burned his bridges with GF's mother and is out of that house.
Everyone has a superpower.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

[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.

Laura, maybe he'll begin to see a pattern emerging.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That was quick, Laura. Well, gotta take his bumps, I guess.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
My condolences, Pix and Drew.
And ugh, Laura. Growing up is hard to do.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Was full of excuses, and I didn't hear any "I screwed up" noises.
Oh dear.
I was so relieved to see that Byron finally came home last night. I was worried about him.

Was full of excuses, and I didn't hear any "I screwed up" noisesOne of the students here at new job is like that. He is on thin ice with the head of the program. He's also in his 30's, so I'm wondering if he's too old to teach new tricks to.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I find saying something along the lines of "You can't control circumstances or other people, you can only control your own actions. What can you do to get to where you want to be?" helps. Make it about the future and frame the issue as something they control.

I am splitting a CSA membership with thessally for the summer, and we picked up our first week's of produce today. There is so much stuff, even with splitting a share. I am hoping that this is going to force me to eat more fruits and veg and get a little healthier, maybe even lose some weight.
