Ah. Sorry. It can be really difficult. We're always here if you need to let it out.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

[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.

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.

{{{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.

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

I hate feeling like such a stereotype.
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.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
I am just a little bit in love with Conan O'Brien right now. And by a little bit, I mean a whole big bunch. It's his last show, and his final speech was classy, moving and heartfelt. He refused to bash NBC and he gave mad love to his staff and crew and his fans. I have a new respect for him.
I still hate Will Farrell and am sad that his idiocy was the end of Conan's show.
