How long has it been. Aims? If it's a week or even a month, then I'd say give them time to get the whining out of their systems. If it's been longer and they are still at it, then you might need to unfriend them.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

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.

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

Shit's all sorts of different now.
It's been almost 6 months.
It's the couple that had the baby and gave him up for adoption. Joe and I effed up. We were in a bad place regarding having kids and we didn't support them the way we should have.
Sigh.
Sometimes, I really dislike realtionships with the real peoples.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Sigh.
I think you might have to accept that things were said, even though they were regretted, that they can't get past. And if they can't past them, neither can your friendship. I am very sorry.

Yeah. I beginning to think that we cooked it. And now it's done.
What really gets to me is that Joe? Seems to be forgiven. When I'm out of town, they call him to go to movies, hang out, etc. Even though it was both of us that didn't do what, as friends, we should have done.

I'm sorry, Aims.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Fucking hell, you guys. My brother called this morning. Water was waist-high last night on Main St. in Waterbury, where his restaurant is.
It's completely trashed on the inside. All the brewing equipment was in the basement, so totally underwater. The offices? In the basement. The water got about waist-high in the dining room and kitchen, so most of the kitchen equipment and tables, chairs, etc., are trashed.
It would be 8 years this Thanksgiving that the Alchemist was open. God DAMN.
Their new cannery is fine -- it's in a higher-elevation area, close to Ben & Jerry's -- and it opens Friday. But the pub? Trashed.
I have never heard him that upset in my life.
The good part is that they have FEMA flood insurance (Waterbury is right on the Winooski River), which the owner -- for reasons I do not know -- had been trying to drop for a couple of years, but FEMA wouldn't let them. So they have that.
But God DAMN.

Thank god. That is very, very good news. I am so sorry about the Alchemist though- I loved that place. But they will rebuild, I'm sure of it. And they have the canning line to keep them out in the public eye while they are doing so.
I am sure they will also get a lot of support from their customers and community.
But, yeah. Upsetting. Let him know we are thinking of him...

That sucks, Steph. I'm glad your brother has flood insurance, at least. But what a pain clean up and repair is going to be.

They definitely will. But it sounds pretty bad throughout Central Vermont. Waist-high water on Main Street means more businesses than just The Alchemist got trashed. Fucking hell.
The grimly funny part is that Saturday was his last day cooking. When he got home, he said to his wife, "That place is going to fall apart without me."
Next time, dude, WISH FOR A PONY.
