Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

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.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Man, this sucks. I'm at the nursing home with my grandma (my sister and now my mom are also here) She's just... slipping away, and she's having hallucinations and moaning in pain and slipping in and out of consciousness.

This is *rough*. I just want her to find some peace and it's just so hard watching her struggle like this.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

P-C, maybe they'll find the wallet with just the cash and cards taken. You might get your memorabilia back...

Nora, I'm sorry. That's so hard.

But it's so much FUN...

Heh. It is.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

P-C, I understand. I nearly had my day bag stolen 3 times in 2 days in Madrid, and just the continued near misses had me bee-lining to McDonald's for comfort food.

Nora, I am so sorry. Peace to her and to you and your family.

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

So sorry, Nora. My brother's mother-in-law is going through this right now. She is staying with them in their house. They are happy to have her there to care for but, man, the toll it takes on those who have to watch the struggle is huge.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Oh Nora, I'm so sorry.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I'm very sorry to hear that, Nora. I hope she finds peace soon.

P-C, I'm sorry you got pickpocketed. That happened to me on my last day in Denmark and it was hard to last the last 8 hours or so 'til the flight with no money whatsoever. I'm glad you thought to take the check card out.

ita, it seems it's another brand of nun than the kind we had.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

it seems it's another brand of nun than the kind we had.

Now that I pause and think--hello, we went to school in London. So, different.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Thoughts for your family, Nora.

P-C, sorry to hear about the theft. That's so frustrating. My Girl got her bag stolen, complete with two passports, this summer. Such an inconvenience, quite apart from the cost. I hope they find yours.

“Not dead yet!”

Thoughts for you and yours, Nora.

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

Nora, I'm so sorry. Peace and strength to you and yours.

P-C, that does suck mightily. I'm sorry you lost precious mementos.
