'Why We Fight'


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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

One neat thing:

The hospital where The Boy's mom is staying is located just barely north of downtown, and up on a hill. So basically any room has a nice view, though what you see depends on what side of the hospital you're on.

Before I left tonight -- it was 10:15 or so, and dark out -- The Boy and I were standing at the window because I was pointing out where my car was. Then, off in the distance in some other part of town that we were able to see because we were on a hill, we saw fireworks. Not backyard fireworks, but professional ones, for about 10 minutes.

So while his mom was sleeping fitfully behind us, we stood in front of the big window and watched the fireworks, speculating on what event might be the occasion for the show. It was nice.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Around here, random pro fireworks are usually attached to sports events -- Friday home game or whatnot. All strength to you in dealing with the care thing, and healing ~ma to the Boy's mom.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

That's a tough situation to be in, Teppy. But you're doing all you can. ~ma to the Boy's mom.

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?

{{Nora}} I wish I could say or do something to make it better, but I suspect there's not anything. So, all I will do is offer virtual hugs and know that I'm thinking of you and think that you are one cool chick that I'm very happy to know.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Teppy, My SiL the nurse translating medical stuff for me when my dad was dying was invaluable and I will be forever grateful to her for that. You just being there and running what interference you can and thinking of things like portable food for him is worth the world to The Boy.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Every night at 9:30 I can hear the fireworks from Disneyland. But I can't see them.

teppy and Nora -- sending you strength and the ability to find a little peace

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

{{{Tep}}} Being there is a lot. Really. And that fireworks moment sounds really nice. I'm glad you got it.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Thoughts for Teppy and Nora.

I'm tweeting from the UK Feminista 'summer school'/conference today. Hashtag is #femschool if anyone wants to follow us!

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.

Much continued ~ma for Tom's mohter and The Boy's mother.

Much peace and comfort ~ma to Nora and Teppy.
