You are a regular person, only nicer. Thanksgiving won't be fun, but if the level of torture rises beyond standard dysfunctional family you have enough in savings to grab a taxi, and take a plane home early. (Where you live is home. Where you are going for Thanksgiving is family, but its not home anymore.) Or move to a motel for the week, and limit your visit to a bearable number of hours per day
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

[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.

Er if the well-intended bluntness is getting wearing, say so. Don't mean to make this board less than enjoyable.

P-C, good luck with Thanksgiving. Is there a back up plan if things get too difficult at your parents place?

The status is NOT quo.
Oh, bonny, you're having such a tough time. I'm so glad you and Niki have had each other in your lives. Peaceful passing~ma to her, and peace to you.
Bonny, smonster said this earlier, and I just want to echo her good words. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Yay Hil for good review and taking a stance against electronics in class! Yay Barb for snarky-sneaky-sweet interview-age! Yay Omnis for teaching (fuck "instructing") important stuff!

Sean, I'll have you know that I kept breaking into completely inappropriate giggles during yoga because I kept imagining tattooed vajayjays which then led me to the JLove Bedazzled Vajayjay (TM) place, which was Very Bad.

I was able to reschedule my dress fitting today, and I am pleased to announce that my wedding dress is no longer just a bolt of silk on the floor! It isn't nearly complete, but it was nice to see some progress happening.

I half expect her to tattoo (C)(R)(TM) all over her vajayjay next, and then send out a C&D letter to all 3.5 billion women on the planet.
When I saw that posted in COMM, I had to come see what it was about. I was betting it had something to do with Lady Gaga or Christina Aguilera. I was wrong.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Good onya, Barb!
Sean, I'm with you on the commercial-hating, at least the type you mention. Actually I think commercials use some of the most innovative and effective cinematic and editing and CGI out there, and I like those elements. But stupid commercials aimed at stupid people are anger-inducing, and abrade my patience.
Bonny, my deepest wishes for peace and comfort for you.

So I sent CfCWG (Cute former CoWorker Girl) a text saying "Hope you are staying warm and dry" (she works for the mouse in the park). She responded with a "Ha, I like the rain..." Let's see if that prompts a call when she gets off work.
ION- watching the Yankee game on DVR. I'm craving some of the Butter Pecan ice cream in my freezer. But last time I had a bowl, Texas won! (Pecan tree being the State Tree of Texas). I know the game is already over, and my eating a bowl can not have any effect on it. But. But. It's baseball, which seems to exasperate superstitious behavior.
eta: Crap, Texas just took the lead. See! Even considering the Pecan caused a problem.
