You could not resemble an Ooompa Loompa if you pained yourself orange and wore white overalls.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

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!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
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.

Trust my rage
Realized that I need to let go, again, of trying to control them.
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.

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.

amyth, do you have a shower stool? That might help.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
quester, that sucks! Good luck getting it all sorted.
Barb, you will both look and be awesome!
Job ~ma, Aims. May they be reasonable.
Hang in there, smonster. It's a good thing you're doing, in spite of all the frustration.
