Sniff sniff. Damn allergies. Yeah, when I knew for sure it was Daniel in the driveway, the stress and worry of the last day or two kinda welled up. I'm so glad he's home safe, and I'm so glad that I didn't have to feel all alone while he wasn't here. Thanks, everyone.
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

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 doctor about my cholesterol and associated stuff. He asked me how much I exercise, I said not much, he said that it would help, and then asked me what kinds of exercise I can do without hurting my joints. I think this is the first time this conversation has ever gone this way. Usually, after I say I don't exercise much, the doctor tells me to do something like start jogging or do yoga or some other thing that I know will kill my joints, and then gives me thing "You can't keep making excuses" speech when I say that I can't do those things. This doctor not only asked me what I can do, he listened to my answer and continued the conversation based on what I had actually said.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. What a novel approach.

What kind of quack medical school did this guy come from?
That's awesome, Hil. It's a shame that's not the norm.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Maria, much ~ma to your uncle and your family.
Glad Daniel's home safe! I vote that from now on when it snows hard, Daniel stays home and his boss congratulates him on his wisdom.
Hil, glad you found a doctor who listens to you and takes you seriously. They are too rare, IME.
You all should hear Leo the Cat yowling piteously and patting at the window with his paw. He wants me to open it so he can sniff the Great Outdoors. He doesn't care that it's like 28 degF out there. And how is that remotely fair? It was 70 this weekend! Spring tease.

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?
This doctor not only asked me what I can do, he listened to my answer and continued the conversation based on what I had actually said.
The fact that this isn't the norm is shameful. And why, after I moved, I drive 35 miles to my doctor whom I love.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Thanks for all of your hopes and ~ma everyone.
I'm glad y'all were here to comfort Andi.
I wish there were jobs I could do close to home.
I keep looking.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
