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.

Compassionately intolerant

serial: I also tend to shy away from author read books, with some exceptions.

My favorite is Patty Jane's House of Curl by Lorna Lanvik. I listen to it a couple of times a year. I bought it out of the remainder bin because it was shrinkwrapped with one of those pink foam curlers from the 50s. Rule of thumb: If it makes me laugh, it gets my money.

Anyway, it wasn't until roughly 6 years later when I stumbled on the Costco book club (such a thing exists?) only to learn that Lorna Lanvik was with me on the Great Peace March. We walked across America together but I did not recognize her voice!!

She has written the March into subsequent books, which of course I think is ubercool.

Thrive to spite them

I love Lorna Lanvik's books! My dad gave me one of her books as a Christmas gift. I'd asked for another book but he couldn't find it, and Lanvik's were right there so he bought me one instead.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

That is cool, bonny.

I just texted the dude from last night. Waiting to hear back.

I may have had two glasses of wine on a mostly empty stomach. Damn, I'm a lightweight. Consuming protein now.

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

My 96 year old great-uncle passed away today. He was an amazing man who was sharp and amazing until the end. I'm really going to miss him.

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

I am sorry, sj.

Thanks, Cass. I know I should just be happy that he lived a good long life, but I can't stop crying. He was so much like my Nana, who I lost 18 years ago this month, and he was just so amazing with his stories of growing up in Italy, his incredible garden, etc.

You can be glad he lived a good life and still miss him like crazy. It's really okay. I am sorry you are hurting.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm so sorry for your loss, sj. My grandfather also died at 96, and even though it was time for him to go it was still too soon for the rest of us. These people leave a hole behind that no one else can ever quite fill. {{{sj}}}

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

96 years is a loooong time until they're 95. Then its not nearly enough. I'm so sorry, sj.
