What should I do if other family members bring it up?
Reiterate your stance that you are through discussing the marriage issue. Then change the subject.
That's my gut reaction, others may have a more nuanced approach.
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.
'Dirty Girls'
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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Why are we letting Erin pick DAN's name? We generally just pick what amuses us the most. As it should be. She's just marrying him. We've got to type it.
Seriously, that's not how it works around here.
Yikes. Apologies. I really was just teasing...

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
This is interesting. I have an iPod charger plugged in under my desk at my office. Came into the office and found an iPod charging. It's not mine. I asked around, and nobody claims it. I asked my officemates, and the one who came in first this morning said that it was already there when he got in. I got curious/nosy and checked out the music -- mostly Motown and eighties rap, with some older jazz and a few newer rap songs. Whoever it is, I like their music. Best guess that anyone has so far is that someone on the cleaning crew plugged it in last night and then forgot about it.

I dreamt last night that I was driving all over to find the perfect nail polish. Dammit, Plei. You've birthed a monster.
Sometimes, I dream I've found a store that has all the polishes I wish I owned. And then I am sad when I wake up.
I also used to dream I'd found a huge box of missing polishes, but then I actually found said box in June, so I stopped having that dream.
Describe your perfect Dream Polish. Amych used to have a dream of an almost-black green, as I recall. (I once randomly mailed her a bunch of polishes I thought might come vaguely close.)

I don't remember! Tragic.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
It's always encouraging to ring the NHS medical helpline thingy and find that their nurse has never heard of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. She is ringing my GP for me. I could have done that all by myself... If this goes on much longer, I'll get a lot of TV catching-up done. I've seen all of the Dollhouse eps I was behind on. Currently re-watching 'Planet of the Ood', 'cause EOT2 last week made me want to see it again.
Best nail polish I ever had was a beautiful sky-blue colour.
Erin - hee!

So part of having a job is being on at least one committee that makes you want to stab your eye out, right? With incompetent chairs and a complicated mandate and meetings where you go around and around and around?
That's just part of working, right?
This question brought to you by the hour I spent earlier today fervently wishing for a Hellmouth to open up beneath my chair.
