[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.

Our wings are not tired.
We'll get through this, and hopefully our sojourn in the Land of Not-Coping will be short.
Much love to you, my dear. I wish I could make it better for you.
Can't say it any better than that. {{hugs to all that wants em}}
Yay, smonster. Sounds like things are really falling into place for you.
So, you know, we're working on it...
Enjoy!

Well, it's good that you're all on the same page, there.
Oh, for sure -- I doubt that story would have made it to our ears if his dad didn't know that we also want kids.
Enjoy!
Heh, thanks!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
So DH did the one thing I told him not to do--google melanoma and survival rates. Thanks to Ginger, I talked him off the ledge. The length of time until his surgery is already starting to get to him.
Kate, I'm glad to hear that life continues for all of you, even though it's not what everyone expected. I hope everyone gets to the point where they remember him with only fondness rather than sadness.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Mom did not freak out. She said, "I'm so happy for both of you. Tell D this means he has to come to family gatherings at the park from now on."

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I did get some anti-anxiety drugs for the period between diagnosis and surgery, Maria. In my case, crying on the phone to the advice nurse got me a prescription. I found if I took one when my brain started ratcheting up, I could keep the jitters to a dull roar. Try to keep him on www.cancer.org.
I don't mention this often, but my diagnosis had a 17% five-year survival rate. It's been six since I finished treatment. I figured that people survive, and I might as well be one of them.

So, when I've hit the point of swinging between numb and wanting to cry, I think that means I should take half a Xanax. Oh, and eat lunch, and have coffee.
On the bright side, my agent is in town for a conference, so I'm meeting up with her tonight for drinks and socializing.

Laga,
how long have you been with D?
are you scared, or just accepting of your current status?
CONGRATULATIONS. :-)

I'm extremely glad you beat those odds, Ginger!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Me too, Ginger!!!
