Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.
'War Stories'
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

Aww, P-C. See, at least when MY brother called me out and tried to guilt trip me about treating my parents badly, I was able to (a) be all "Oh please, you've been hearing this bitching from...our parents" and (b) point out that unlike HIM, I lived on the same CONTINENT as our parents and had a PHONE NUMBER they could call, which he did not. And while they might bitch to him that I didn't call enough, I called them at least weekly. Which was about four times as often as he did, so he should just STFU with his "our parents are old and don't have friends" sanctimonious (and ageist) BS.
...er, which is to say, how the heck old IS your sister, anyway? And when does SHE have to get arranged-married?

She's 19. She's probably got about four years until they start shopping her around.

Oy PC. I'm going stomp on any instinct I have to give advice. I'll just say you have a right to live your life your way, and a right not to take unlimited crap about that.

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
She doesn't seem to have any constructive suggestions at all, does she? "Stop being so mean" isn't really much to go on. She's venting. She's feels caught in the middle and like she has to take a stand. Probably not a lot you can say to her.
You're 19. You've probably got about four years until they start shopping you around.
You're a nicer person than I am, however, Sunil or that would be your entire reply.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I went to the doctor tonight too. I also do not have pneumonia. But I also didn`t get any magic pills. I told the doc I hadn`t come in earlier cause I figured it was viral and there wasn`t anything anyone could do and he laughed and said, yeah that`s probably still the case. So gut it out, is basically what he said. Sucks. SO is remote boat shopping for me in the morning and I guess I`ll cancel lessons on Sat. in an attempt to be well enough by the time the group gets in Sun. Blarg. I don`t want to do any of this. I had been up but I spent all today in bed. I just can`t shake this.

At this point I can't help thinking that everything is all my fault, I am clearly in the wrong, and I should just go crawling back and do everything my parents say for now and eternity. I have no rights. Not to life, not to liberty, not to the pursuit of anything.

Health~ma for Liese and Jilli.
P-C, as much as there's always another side to the story, that e-mail makes your sister sound very much like the unreasonable one, not you.

I'm pretty sure it is not your fault your younger sister has learned how to be a master manipulator. I'm pretty sure I know whose fault that is, but it's not yours. What she did by emailing you that load of crap is not evidence that you are wrong, but evidence that you need to stay the course. I'm sorry that this process sucks so much, and that it hurts so much.
