Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

[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 am so enraged and frustrated that I'm about to burst into tears and/or stab myself. The last time there was this much drama over a piece of fucking jewelry, there were orcs involved.
(My mom has called six times today. Once in the morning, twice when I got to work, three times during a meeting. Picking up this fucking locket is clearly a matter of life and fucking death. Picking up the phone, however, will just make this day worse than it already is since I have concocted multiple horrible things to say to her.)

Thanks, Plei! Unfortunately, I am now less inclined to get it, now that she's described as emerald green. I liked it for its allegéd blue/turquoiseness. feh.

Polter, can't you get her to at least leave it be while you're at work? I'm surprised that she would interfere with that.

P-C, you could tell her that if she keeps calling you at work you will lose your job and won't be able to support a wife.

Get the CHI or the China Glaze. Both are fabulous.

P-C, could you maybe carry it in your pocket or something? if you don't like wearing it, keeping it on you might suffice. Placate your mother without being uncomfortable.

Toddson, that is exactly what I plan to suggest to her. I am going to pick up the damn thing because my grandmother's friend (who has the locket) doesn't need to be stuck in the middle, but I just realized today that if I actually wear the thing around my neck, even for kicks, it will be an albatross.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
{{{P-C}}} One strategy that might be helpful is to think of yourself as a broken record. Pick one response, and stick with it. It may be tempting to use different strategies to convince her, but she could perceive that as making progress in convincing you.
I think not picking up the phone today is a very wise response.
