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.

Sass is not home. DH left at about 5:30 a.m. to go look some more. I'll start again when the nanny is available a little later this a.m. to watch K and listen for the phone to ring since for some reason !@#$ Verizon can't get our call forwarding to work.

I'm so sorry you guys. We will keep our fingers crossed.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Much, much, much, much, much ~mas to Buffistas and their pets. And Fred Pete, my thoughts are with Chloe and you.

Also and as importantly, my thoughts and brackets and ~mas are with Buffistas's families who need the ~mas.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Oh, Sparky. I hope she's found safe and sound posthaste.

I first learned to semi-neti in Peace Corps and used a coffee mug. I found the trick for a less painful experience is to make sure to inhale all salt water with no air mixed in. Hope you feel better today.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Maybe not the best time, so I separate it so it won't get mixed with the other post: those of you who asked me to tell about my 12-minute-lecture - it's here, in English. [link]

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Sparky, so much ~ma for finding Sass safely and soon!

Mini-rant feel free to skip right over it. I did my iron infusions, I've been going to PT 3 times a week, I have been eating better, can I please now have a tiny little bit of energy? Just enough so that I don't feel that every day is fighting through quicksand just to get the littlest of things done.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I really just don't understand people.

So we game here about 2x a month. We have (other) friends with a baby who come over to game. They have always known Ollie and still made the choice to make this our gaming place.

Is it wrong that I am VASTLY annoyed that they ask us to lock Ollie up while they are here because their baby wants to play on the floor/is sleeping/doesn't want the dog germs what come from Ollie's licking?

Bring a fucking playpen or game at your house. Jeebus Christmas.

Absolutely this.

Maybe their house isn't as comfortable as yours, but if they don't like the 'impact' the resident dog has on their child, they could get a babysitter.

“Not dead yet!”

Um, maybe it's the southern in me, but when my kids were babies and we brought them somewhere, we assumed we were the ones having to make the accommodation, rather than asking the hosts to do so. (Would have never DREAMED of doing such a thing.) I think the most we might have asked is if someone had a quiet area we would be able to set up the Pack n'Play or whatever.
