I think the lesson here is that divorce makes you do the wacky.
Why couldn't Giles have shackles like any self-respecting bachelor?

[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 were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Indeed, bt!
Steph, bad doggy! That's not supposed to happen. Ouch.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Seriously. And kids means you can't ever just walk away.
No, bad doggy! No biting the hand that feeds. (I say after giving the cat a few bites of food tonight and getting nipped once. But the food was tiny and I just realized that I needed to not give her a taste for human flesh.) Tep, I hope the hand feels a lot better tomorrow. Ice, Advil and hoping that the Ambien knocks you out fast?

Great, stopped the cat from eating flesh and zombified Erin... My bad.

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

Well, you can, but its pretty much the ultimate dick move.

Oh. Yes. Yes, you can. My mother did.
Turns out, for better or worse, family are just people that you know. What happens next is all about choice.

Okay, yes, you can. Clearly. And it happens a lot.
But I am generally hopeful that if you are posting here, it'd take an awful fucking lot for it to happen. I expect more from Buffistas.
I just got the cats stoned. Puppycat was crying at the cabinets again and I just really needed her to shut up.

I'm with you Cass...my view is a much more global kind of thing, at the same time it is very personal to me.
I feel compelled to add that none of the choices my, admittedly extreme, family made ended up being the end of the world. In fact, quite the opposite. Nothing I would wish on anyone, but proof that one can be much better than okay, regardless of the unfortunate choices of those around them.
Honestly, I don't know that I would have been better off if my mother had stayed in my life. Which, under the circumstances, I know seems weird to think, but there you have it.

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.
bonny, you are definitely better than just ok. You are a beautiful, amazing woman that I feel privileged to know.
But yeah, just walking when there are kids involved is. Not. Cool.
Teppy, I hope your finger heals quickly. I also hope you find the behavioral solution to the over-excitement.
