Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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.

Who fucking breaks into a hospice? What is wrong with people?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

OK, now that I've looked at a map a bit more closely, it looks like I'm going to be stopping in Columbus on the way to and from the conference.

Who fucking breaks into a hospice?

Crack addict?

Our wings are not tired.

Aims, congrats on the car purchase. And I'd totally like a drink holder thingy from the Crafty Empress.

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

The Crafty Empress?

If it is Crafty Empire, you ARE the Crafty Empress. If such distinctions matter.

And then I tried to feed her dinner and she was like, whatevs, want moar

Well, they are twitchy and possibly delicious.

Hospice = big-time painkillers and such. For random mischief, it seems a cruel location but if you think you might find drugs and you're addicted?

They stole a coffeepot and three computers. I don't even know.

I read that. I just wonder if they thought there were be other things to steal. It's the only way I can make that break in understandable in my head. Because if you are just randomly destroying things or even looking for office things, breaking into a hospice office is the lowest thing I can think of offhand.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

My guess would be "looking for the good drugs".

And when they couldn't get that, went for the coffee.

Dal seems slightly peppier today. Maybe we've dodged the bullet again for a little while. Who knows.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Sweet little Dallas. Paws crossed she continues to do well. It sucks so hard that their lives are shorter than ours.

I am back to the bedroom since The O'Reilly Factor is on and Tim's dad is watching it with great zeal.

I should share a *good* Tim's Family story to balance out the stressful ones. His niece E. is going to be a junior in college -- double-majoring in physics and philosophy. She's hugely geeky and I adore her. Her family is pretty hugely involved in their Lutheran church, and niece E. is a counselor for the summer at a Lutheran camp in Northern Ohio. I've never thought of her as conservative in the political sense, but she is small-c conservative in the sense of trying to live according to Christian values.

So she was telling us camp stories, and one was about a fellow counselor who is a lesbian. The fellow counselor was talking about how her family is barely accepting of it, and how she hates that family members will lapse into an awkward pause if she mentions her girlfriend.

So niece E. said to the fellow counselor, "If I ever do that -- if I ever seem to be pausing awkwardly when you mention your girlfriend -- it is NOT because of your sexuality; it's because I'm just an awkward person!"

I love her SO MUCH.
