[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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Always Anti-fascist!
My neighbor died this week from something that sounds like what Teppy's"in-law" had. In her way, she liked us, but she was sort of like Mrs. Kravitz on drugs. But she'd not been doing well for the last year or so. But her "By the time you read this, I'll be dead" message for her ex-husband was just "Fuck you,"(From 2004. And she never threw it out.) She was even more addicted to the last word than nicotine. Fucked up, right?

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Damn it, I have drugs to send you. And to smonster. If my life wasn't turning into a pile of crap with glass, I would have already sent them. I'm going to leave myself a big note to do that. If not tomorrow, then Friday, since I'm off work.
Please don't worry about it. You've been going through so much. I actually have a prescription here but the $&#)&)@ insurance company won't fill it completely for whatever reason. You are not responsible for my mental health!

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

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
You are not responsible for my mental health!
Actually, I control it from afar.
I do have to mail my brother's birthday card, so I can mail your drugs out. I don't need them, can't take them, so if someone can use them, I'd rather not waste them.
Which reminds me, I also have generic prozac (floxetine), 10 mg (I think) that I don't need. About 2 weeks' worth, if anyone uses it.
Finally, I'm going to cry, I swear. But from gratitude this time. You know how, when you're upset/overwhelmed, you can maintain some semblance of equipoise as long as people *aren't* nice to you, but if someone does something nice, you lose your shit? Well, *I* do that.
Anyway, I posted on FB about the dead air conditioner saga, and that the solution for now seems to be getting 2 window units. A local friend who just moved into a house from an apartment commented on my post saying she has window units that are just sitting in her shed, so we could borrow them.
I seriously almost lost it.
If they're the right size for our windows and we could borrow them, that would be SUCH a relief.

Oh, this is so me.
I'm glad to hear about the possible A/C solution!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Kindness in a crisis is a killer. In a good way.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, Steph, that's good.
And Trudy, well done. You gotta be careful with the ultimatums unless you're willing to hold out. Would you really not feed her, you know, stuff like that. So the way you handled it works well, because it's not an either or kinda deal.

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

I'm extremely familiar, yes. I go around muttering "people need to stop being nice to me so I can pull myself together" quite often [I do not mean it, please continue to be nice]
Very glad for the A/C loan, what a relief.
