Jebus. What a bunch of fucking tools. I am so sorry for your loss, Steph.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

[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'm so sorry that you have to deal with stupidity on top of grief.

What is even happening?
My mom said, "I don't care that you aren't married; she was your mother-in-law." Mom's actually the first one to say that, and it made me feel better, acknowledging the enormity of this loss.
Your mom is right. And you can call her your "MIL" for mother-in-love.

oh, I'm so sorry that I didn't actually say that. Honestly, that's the way I've been thinking of what you're going through. I know that I'm not the only one who knows how huge that this has been for you.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
must be hard for me to be "on the outside" during all this.
"Oh no, I was in the living room. Why would I be outside?"
I didn't say anything, just made Downcast Face. Because *I* know that Tim's mom treated me like family, even though she really would have preferred we were married. She kept her moral belief separate from how she treated me, always, and she treated me very well.

Awwwww. Now I'm all teary at work. That's perfect.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I think they're too Christian
I think they're too "Christian"
There. Fixed that for ya.
And if you and Tim don't count as each other's family, I don't know many couples that would pass the test.

Always Anti-fascist!
Tep, when I commented about that, you know that I was thinking they were thinking that, more than what I was thinking, right? Because I think she might as well have been your MIL. Or something.(I have "or somethings," too...what would I call my stepdad's niece? Not that he is my stepdad, anymore, but she is as much like my cousin as my cousins...modern life can be so complicated!) I saw something on an Obama documentary that made my ovaries hurt...a nine-year-old working the phones while making "my" "Why are people so *stupid*?" face. Killed me.

Totally! The only insensitive comment in that regard was from my co-worker. Definitely not you.
