[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.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Please remember that THIS family loves you and we are so much cooler than them.

Heh. Wouldn't be difficult - but yes, you totally are.

I hope The Girl has your back though, in whatever form that takes.

We'll be working on that once we both calm down.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Ah. Sorry. It can be really difficult. We're always here if you need to let it out.

The status is NOT quo.

Oh Seska. Many hugs. Evil in-laws (I'm inferring?) are not stronger than you and the Girl, though, never forget.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

{{{Daisy and Daisy's friends}}} I'm so sorry. What an awful thing to have happen.

{{{Seska}}} Good luck with the soon to be in-laws.

“Not dead yet!”

I'm dreading the first set of them I have to buy, most likely later this year.

Yeah... it was painful. What really frosts me is if I'd known a little more about their particular idiosyncrasies, I might have been able to work a few more thousand miles out of them-- certainly a lot closer to their projected mileage than what I got. Fucking southern service guys, who don't bother telling the little woman about those pesky details. I JUST had it in at 14K miles for the stem to stern checkup and you'd think they might have said something then.

I hate feeling like such a stereotype.

Eh, it's a First World whine. I do love my car to pieces.

“Not dead yet!”

And because it deserves its own post:

What all the wise folks said, especially about the fact that this family is so much cooler.

I don't think it's you that's the stereotype here.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm so sorry, Daisy.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Um, Seska, I have been there and lived through it. I wish you as staunch and loving a partner as I had, and that your prospective in-laws see reason sooner than later.

You're all lovely (and that's absolutely not just the vodka talking. hic). Thanks all for the wisdom.
