Xander ,'Conversations with Dead People'
[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.
quester, that bites the big one. So sorry that someone else's ineptitude is causing you grief.
Thanks for the good thoughts, y'all. I'm still not completely convinced of my non-Oompa Loompaness, but I'll go with what I've got.
At least I'm wearing seriously awesome shoes.
Man, I just tried to put on holiday music, and my whole body revolted. Listening to Explosions in the Sky instead. Don't suppose anyone is around who's worked with at-risk youth is available for a pep talk via phone in the next hour?
eta just did 5 minutes of mindfulness of emotions. That helped. Going to walk the dog now.
You could not resemble an Ooompa Loompa if you pained yourself orange and wore white overalls.
Barb, you are totally going to rock this, and it is for your awesome book. Which you wrote! And it got published! And now it's out there, and you want people to love it as much as you do! Because it's awesome! And so are you!
Talked to B for a few. Realized that I need to let go, again, of trying to control them. Communicate expectations, enforce consequences, and let go.
Good call, smonster.

This is a lesson I need to learn over and over.
And in related news, in what reality are assault and DUIs not included in "do you have any other criminal convictions"??!!? Seriously, people, I can't help if I'm finding this stuff out as the judge is finding out.
Rule #1: DO NOT LIE TO YOUR LAWYER!!!
Stephanie, oy.
{{smonster}} good luck.
Aims, much ~ma to you. I've been where you are.
Barb, you are going to do great! I know it.
I am v. sad about Elizabeth Edwards, even though I saw it coming. She was a class act.
{{quester}} That is so stressful.

Count me among the Love, Actually haters.
I took a shower today for the first time since the surgery. Woo! It was actually a huge PITA. It's not easy to shower, dry off, and get dressed without putting weight on one leg.
Definitely, Stephanie. This isn't the first time I've had to learn it, or the second, or the fifth. You always think that if you just said/did the exact right thing, they would get it/change. But that shit is for feelgood movies.
