I think I've shared before that my DH helped take care of MY mother when she was too ill to take care of herself. Loved her and cared for her as if she were his own mom. That's the kind of partner you want for life.
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

[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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Is it wierd that this conversation is making me want an SO? I mean, 99% of the time I'm fine with being single, but sometimes something makes me have a twinge for a BF. Although, perhaps my getting nostalgic about stories of people cleaning up someone else's poop is the reason that I'm single.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Nope, Vortex, that seems normal to me. I love my Dh , we have fun , we like hanging out together, he is great for my brain, but the bonus is that he can, will, and has dealt with me at some truly less than pleasant physical moments.
One of my friends ( divorced ) was appaled that DH was around when I was dying my hair . she felt there should be some 'mystery'. Really? After he helped me when I ate that recalled corn that left me faster than I ate it?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Gosh, is anyone else up?

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Not for too much longer, but yes.

Working late? Can't sleep? What's with the crazy hour?

Can't sleep. I dunno. Tried to; can't.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Aww. Lovely husband/SO stories. My Girl, of course, is an angel (a tiny Jewish bad-tempered one). We don't like the word 'carer' very much, but she supports me in everything. I wasn't physically disabled when she met me. A year into our relationship, she very quickly had to learn how to do everything from bathing me, to fighting on my behalf when care services and the like refused to help. I assumed she'd be out the door pretty fast. She was very much not.
Rarely do I acknowledge that. I'm going to have to put something in my civil partnership vows. (Something beyond 'in sickness and in sickness'.)
I wonder what I should do with my day, other than reading for my essay. I feel like hanging out at Camden market. I might do.

I could go get the textbook from my last class and start quoting - you'd be out like a light. But wait, so would I...
But seriously folks...
Anxiety, general brain-just-won't-shut-up, or who the hell knows?
Not that I know anything helpful to offer for any of these...
Um, I could spontaneously start spouting Jabberwocky (the only poem I still have memorized)...funny story - after Jilli-style Magic got us in to the Alice in Wonderland Exhibit at Comic Con, one of the props on display is the "Vorpal Sword", so of course I start spontaneously reciting Jabberwocky. Then two of my friends and at least one complete stranger from another group start reciting with me. It was an awesome moment for geeks and lit-geeks both.
