Teppy I hope things work out. It sounds like Tim is willing to listen to your needs that if you talk it out, he won't doing anything you can't live with as long as you tell him what you can't live with.
Mal: We're still flying. Simon: That's not much. Mal: It's enough.

[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.

Oh Goddess, SJ. All the ~ma in the world. Nothing I can think of to say beyond that, love to you and through you to the rest of your family.

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, sj, I am very sorry.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
And my default is to believe that I have no rights, my feelings don't matter, and if I don't do exactly what Tim* wants, then the relationship is over. Completely powerless.
Teppy, I am exactly like you in this regard. (OK, not about Tim, because I've never met him, but it's my default attitude towards the Other Person). The difference between you and me is that when I get caught in this way of thinking is to withdraw even further, and to not talk to anyone. Seeing you here talking about these things and trying to work through them is a huge inspiration to me. You're my hero.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Tom Scola is also my hero.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I'm so sorry, sj.
Yes, TB, that's a good summary. It touches one of the key points the people screaming "meltdown" keep missing, which is that when a nuclear person says core melt, they're talking about melting the zirconium alloy coating the fuel pellets, not a molten mass sinking to *shudder* China.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, sj. That is so awful. I'm so sorry.
Tom Scola is also MY hero.

Aw, Tom! That means a LOT to me.
