Travers: Perhaps you'll favor us with a demonstration while we're here. Buffy: You mean, like, right now? 'Cause, already had my recommended daily dose of fights tonight.

[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
On the other hand, he's had a girlfriend for the last three and a half years so he's doing okay.
He's certainly done better than I have.
Wait. Not only can he not have a (white devil) girlfriend, he can't have pets?! I mean, I know there are cultures that consider "animals in the house" a wacky idea, and I get that, but... if someone wants pets, what's the BFD?
I think it's part of the "focus on your studies" program.
But is it wrong that my first thought was that now anytime your mom starts in on you you can be all "I'M NOT THE ONE WITH THE SHE-DEVIL".
The thing is, I may lie about having known about it, but I'm not going to pretend I feel the same way about it as they do. One time my mom told me about someone who had married a Punjabi girl, and I was like, "So?" and she was like, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'SO?'???"
Like "Okay, even though we don't really like it, you can keep the pets. See how nice we're being? Now ditch the girl!"
Unfortunately, the pets belong to the girl! Well, I don't know about the cat. I just learned about that one today.

Haaaaaaaaaaa ha ha.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
One time my mom told me about someone who had married a Punjabi girl, and I was like, "So?" and she was like, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'SO?'???"So. I'm not a bigot. These things don't matter. We all bleed the same blood (well, within blood types and all). Damn. there went that argument.
I hope your brother wears a wire and records that talk. It could be a nice recon for your future.
ION- I will sit on the "lonely hearts bench" with Sean and the rest. Sucks being lonely. But hey, thankfully masturbation is still legal!

Things Scrappy, Steph, Windsparrow, Bev and any number of other Buffistas have said have kept me going through the years.

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

Nah, go ahead and nut up. You knew, you didn't tell them, you knew they'd freak the everlovingfuck out and you were right.
The band-aid is off. They probably can't get any worse than this and if they can goody for them. Time for the Patel boys to take off the gloves... well, keep off the gloves.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
The collective and individual wisdom on this board never ceases to amaze me. Have cut and pasted that piece of Scrappy wisdom and will be emailing it to my sis tomorrow.
P-C, best of luck to your brother, the she devil, and assorted animals. Could have been worse, could have been a dude?

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.
Harvey sends his best purrs to all y'all. He's lounging in the crook of my shoulder, I'm resting my ear on him, and the purr is all I can hear. Yeah, it doesn't fix any situation, but it makes right this moment a better moment. You are surrounded by love, held up by love - you may not have everything in life that you desire (I for damn sure don't) but we have each other.
Much ~ma to Amyth's brother, and Raq. And of a different kind to brother of P-C.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
~ma heading your way, Raq!
P-C, that is totally crazy.
Loving Scrappy's quote. I'm sorry if I caused any bad feelings with my children question. If it helps, I never thought I'd have a kid once I hooked up with DW. I figured that kinda sorta dream was gone. And yet, here I am, a new mom at 40 (hey, I was in my 30s when he was born)! Life certainly does twist and turn. You just never know what's around the corner. {{{}}}

Yeah, if you could show my current life to me five years ago, ten years ago, and fifteen years ago I'd be completely flabbergasted in every instance.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oddly enough, I find myself ending up with the kind of life I would have predicted 15 years ago, though the intervening time was full of surprises.
Funny old thing, life.
