Oh, sj, I am very sorry.

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

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.

"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.

Oooh, I meant to say that -- Tom, you are kicking ass in dealing with your stuff, and you're my hero, too.
