P.-C., good for you, for standing your ground!
My food is problematic.

[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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Early reader here.
in other news... from "not always right":
Customer:“I want a refund! Sherlock Holmes was possibly the worst film adaptation of a Jane Austin book I’ve ever seen!”
Me: “Sherlock Holmes was not written by Jane Austen. It was written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.”
Customer:“I thought there was something odd about it. Well, I guess it really is nothing at all like her other books. Silly me!”

Trust my rage
Good for you, P-C. I'm sure t really sucked but you stayed strong.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My dad said that was it, she'd said her piece and I'd said mine.
And really? You are both adults and have to accept that you want different things. I am damn impressed with both you remaining strong and her accepting it. Go, Cows.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's great, P-C. You held strong. Plus, its the kind of strength that adults exercise. She was disappointed but you didn't do anything to hurt her on purpose. Bottom line is she doesn't get to dictate these things to you. But you listened and were respectful. That's all you owe.
Hee! I'm glad you all like it! I like it better than I thought I would. It's been long forever.
It's a very flattering cut on you. You have pretty features and it brings them to the fore.

Awesome cut, Zenkitty!
Good on you, P-C, for sticking to your guns. It gets easier with time.

I'm not sure whether this is really over. How many times does Jason usually come back?
Lots, but the sequels are NEVER as scary.

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.
Zenkitty, your hair is very cute!
Typo Boy, much ~ma to your friend.
P-C, go you, for sticking to your guns. Also, kudos to your dad for not encouraging your mom to keep going.
My oldest brother, after attending kindergarten for a week, announced that he was not going back. He told Mom he was disgusted that they hadn't taught him how to read yet, so what was the point.
I read in the bathroom, on the throne and in the tub. I read on the bus (or did, when I took one). I read at work when there is nothing more pressing to do. I read in bed. I read on the sofa. I read while I'm eating (unless I treasure the book) I read a lot fewer books now that I have internet access, but I still do read.

Yeah, what Plei said.
Good for you, P-C. I'm glad you were able to have that conversation.
