My thoughts are with you and your family, Burrell.
Saffron: You're a good man. Mal: You clearly haven't been talking to anyone else on this boat.

[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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So sorry, Burrell. You and C have been such stalwart, supportive and loving children to your parents.

My sympathies to your family, Burrell.
Congrats to Kenny! Geez, what's with these Buffista sprog growing up and taking over the world? Well, actually, that's probably a good thing because I really don't think my generation is doing such a bang up job myself.
Happy Mother's Day to all the 'muricans. Let the pampering and spoilage commence.

Mostly lurking...
Um, I'm not quite sure how this just happened, but I seem to be on my way to a BBQ at the Guy's dad's house.

Congratulations, Kenny. I would have liked to have been there.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Wow, congratulations Kenny! I can't believe he's a college graduate. Unpossible.
Happy mother's day everybody! I know the day is set aside for "mothers" but I always think it should be set aside to honor "mothering"--all the people who care for others, be it their children, their pets, other people's children and pets, friends and family, the ill and the convalescent.
And thanks for the kind words. It means a lot to me.

Compassionately intolerant
My tweet for this morning says that my mother gave me life, but did not teach me to live or to be happy. Other people's mothers did that, and I am eternally grateful.
A client sent the sweetest email today, thanking me for 'mothering her into health.'
See? That's the stuff I live for.
Happiest of thoughts and days to all the mothering and mothering-adjacent Buffistas. Which pretty much includes everyone, right?

“Not dead yet!”
Oh my heavens-- congrats, Kenny!
Happy Mother's Day to not only the biological moms among us, but the many who do such a wonderful job with the mothering and the nurturing of families. From that standpoint, Buffista Island is rich, indeed.
Family made me breakfast this morning, taunted me with promises of swan butt jewelry just to see me blanch in horror, and in a bit, we're going to a ball game. Life is good.

Happy Mother's Day, Bitches!
Nowhere else in this 'verse could I say that!
Job update: I survived my 1 week trial and have been asked back for a second. The guy who is training me to be his assistant went out of town for Fri, Mon-Wed, and the parents were concerned that I would not have enough to do. Well, if Friday is any indication, I will have plenty to do! The place is insane and the organization is individually optional.
Once I get a better handle on things, I will try to impose a bit more common sense to what I can. If they hire me permanently, that is.
I've bought gas twice in the last week! I must take the interstate to work and the speed limit is 70 mph so it is eating gas. I checked the oil yesterday and was almost dry. Eeeeek!!!
