{{Laura}} Oh, my, sending a healthy dose of maturity~ma to B. I remember some of those blow-ups with my daughter at that age, they are so taxing. I think you deserve a couple days of indoor pants to recuperate!

Zoe: (beat) We don't make him hurry for the little stuff. He'll be along.
Book: He could hurry... a little.

[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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oh Laura, I'm sorry.
Once I was out of mom's house at 18, we actually started getting along much better, and by 30 we got pretty close. Hoping he "gets it" sooner rather than later.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
{{{Laura}}} No advice, just hugs. That sounds gut-and-heart-twisting.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, Laura. Stay strong. Make those boundaries. You have been more than reasonable.
Seska! I think the interview is very cool.
Today is going much better. Thanks for the support, y'all.

Our wings are not tired.
Thank you. I really appreciate the support. I do remember how much I understood about parents and the realities of the world at 19 (absolutely nothing) and know there is no shortcut to maturity. He will get it in time. He just has to figure it out elsewhere. I can't allow the disharmony in my home any more.
