[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.
I'll take a stab at it. I work better with things I can somewhat rationalize with. I am also fluent in bullshit.
Several of the clients I work with at the group homes are stuck in the teen mentality. I might be able to be your assistant.
Laura is an amazing mom and I'm sure that whatever elder son is doing is 100% due the blood in his brain being cut off what with his HEAD IN HIS ASS.
So true. One of my brothers had his head stuck in his ass for a couple years from about 18-20. Miraculously, he survived, and now has a son whose young-adult head is direly in need of rectal-cranial inversion therapy.

This was me for a while - mostly 21-23, I think. I was just totally self-absorbed and thought my parents were just stupid. Thankfully, I can through it okay.

So who's the teen specialist?
Do I get a taser and a shotgun? If so, I'll do it.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
At the coffee shop today we were talking about S -- who has a way with horses, dogs, and her kids. There is lots of laughter and fun , but that are consequences to actions. Not helping make lunch for school - no lunch. Her youngest whines , but falls in. I am wondering what she would do that young adult stage.
I have a friend who is going through this stage with his son. He is coming home between 3 - 5 in the morning, which wakes and/or keeps his folks up. I keep saying wake him up. Don't let him sleep past 9am. But M has been a pretty good kid, so I think Dad just doesn't know how to be firm.
Laura, you situation is more complex. I can only come up with extreame situations. Like not letting him live in house until he helps. Camping is good for him , right?

So, in keeping with Em's TV education, we were watching the Doctor Who episode "The Shakespeare Code" set, natch, in 1599...Shakespearian times.
Em's not into it. Actively bored. Pauses the show and wanders off. So I ask her: "Punk, are you bored with this episode?"
"Yeah."
"'Cause it's got witches?"
"Eh."
"'Cause it's set way back in time and it's all old and stuff?"
"Yeah. Like the 1970s."

A friend's fiancee's mother passed away today. It wasn't unexpected, she had cancer, but they were hoping she would make it to the wedding in September. I only met her once at the wedding shower, but she seemed to be a wonderful woman. Fuck cancer!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Amen, sistah!!
Oh, sj, I am so sorry.
Hey, all! Just back from a week with the fam in TN. Brought 3 of them back with me. My sis and her 2 kids (ages 10 and 11) came with me. Both of the kids have ADHD. I am already exhausted. They just ran to Target to fiddle around and give their aunt an hour of quiet time. Bless them.
