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.

Steph, I'm so sorry for your loss, and your family's loss.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, damn, Tep. That is just too much. Over it. Step off, Death. I mean, it sounds not entirely unexpected but there is only so much a family should have to deal with in a swath. Over.

Oh, that just sucks, Steph. Sending tons of sympathy your way.

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, shit, Teppy. I am so sorry.
And, thanks for the good wishes about Mickey, but it turns out I spoke too soon. Vet called this afternoon with the radiology report. He has a small mass in his lung. Not sure what that mass is but lung cancer is high on the list due to his age (he's 11). Because of where it is, they can't aspirate it. I need to have a consult appt with oncology to figure out next steps.
This is my nightmare situation. What can be done? And, can I afford it? And, even if I can, should I do anything? Will it help him in the long term? He's healthy now, he eats, he plays, he breathes fine, but how long?
Being an adult fucking sucks in some situations.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Steph, I desperately wish there was something I could do besides read and let you know that I am here. I am glad you have us to vent to.
Oh, Chikat. Fingers crossed for Mickey.

Our wings are not tired.
{{Teppy}} I am so sorry. Too much. I hope Tim is there to comfort you by now.
{{Chikat}} I am so sorry to hear this news. What sucks is making the decisions that are best for Mickey might not be the best for your heart. I hope the vet has better options than your expectations.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Aw, man. I'm sorry, Steph.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, no, Steph, I'm so sorry! Death, dude, enough already with the people of Teppy, okay? Go trouble some evil people for a while instead.
ChiKat, sorry for the scary news. I hope the lump will turn out to be benign and Mickey will be okay.
