I'm sorry, Daisy, both for your loss and the circumstances compounding it for you.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

[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.

“Not dead yet!”
ION, my co-worker shamed me into calling my doctor, and when I told the receptionist about the hurting lungs and shortness of breath (which I am NOT having right now...or, at least, not as bad as on Saturday), she asked me to hold for a minute. And when she came back she asked if I could come in at 4:45 today, because they were concerned about the shortness of breath.
Wait a minute, Tep—I thought you were going to call anyway this morning? You mean you didn't?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I kinda floated Wednesday as a possible date to see if there was anything I could do at work, and boss lady tried to be accommodating and said she needed to know ASAP so we could figure out who would cover or if she needed to take that day from her vacation to cover. But that was at 10:30, and I'm getting increasingly panicked "Have you heard anything?" emails, so I've just had to say "fuck it" to making the funeral.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Teppy, was it Chatty Coworker?
It was not Chatty (he's off today).
Wait a minute, Tep—I thought you were going to call anyway this morning? You mean you didn't?
Well, no. Because I figured I was on an upward trajectory of getting better. Just a slow trajectory.

Daisy, did you get my e-mail about coming to Dallas? I can give you hugs in person!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I did not! I haven't checked actual email in...a while. But, yay!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just went to the dentist. One of my wisdom teeth is coming in, and I asked him whether I should get it removed, and he just wouldn't give me a straight answer. I kept asking directly, and he'd keep quoting me stats on how usually it's fine to leave the tooth in, but sometimes it's not, and it all depends. After three rounds of this, I gave up, and since it's hurting a lot, I made an appointment with the oral surgeon who will take x-rays and decide whether it should come out or not.

I'm coming down tomorrow for two weeks. We must get together. You can meet my brother and his she-devil girlfriend! Also, we have lots of games to play.

Cool. Keep in touch and we'll work out some time. We're, apparently, not going anywhere.
