Xander ,'Get It Done'
[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, that's awful, beth. I hope Matt knows that unless you deal with situations like that every day, your brain freezes, and he still acted and helped.
You do what you can, when you can. That's what heroic is, risk one's safety to aid others. It's not "I should have done better," it's "I did."
Oh God, I hope that Matt is okay. Somehow it doesn't surprise me that he threw himself into the thick of it to help someone, he's a good man.
Hil, I seem to recall that you shouldn't have a pap within X number of days of your period, but I could be making that up.
Oh dear heavens, beth-- so much healing ~ma for Matt & your neighborhood and those women.
beth, much ~ma for everyone involved.
beth, how horrible! I'm glad matt's and everyone is ok. But still--how horrifying!
yikes beth, that's so scary.
Beth - it might sound like overreacting, but does Matt have access to a counselor? People respond to crises in very different ways both during and after, it's totally normal for him to be feeling the stress now that the adrenaline has worn off and he can doublethink his own response. So sorry ya'll had to to go through such an ordeal.
Beth, all my love to Matt.
I assumed what Trudy meant was that maybe 10 years ago, she referred to a 12 yo Ecuadorian and today she's dating a 22 yo Ecuadorian.
Yes, Nonian cracked the code. Several years later I dated a man who had indeed been 12 and in Ecuador when the joke was made.
Beth healing ~ma to the neighbor and best wishes to Matt. And Matt is a hero whether he wants to think so or not. What Matt did is what heroes do - intervening now. And if he is feeling guilty cause when he Monday Morning quarterbacks himself he can think of something better then maybe counseling would help. He did something that helped on the spur of the moment and that is a million times better than a perfect intervention that never got implemented. And healing ~ma to you too, cause it can't be easy having someone you love do something heroic and then second guess himself because he did not do even better.
Beth, thoughts for your neighbours who were attacked, and ~ma for Matt, of any kind that he needs. Mostly, what Typo Boy said.
