You don't want to pull that card. Very easy for jokes like that to reinforce the part of your psyche that causes depression. Or make depression worse if you already have it.

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 glad you were able to talk to your mom after her accident, Barb. And congrats on the award!
I got together with amyth, smonster, and a couple of other friends to carve pumpkins tonight. [link]

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

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Oh, yes, Barb, sending ~ma for your mom.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Apparently trying to be friends with a potential future wife is verboten. It is just Not Done. That is what got her parents in a tizzy. I guess I can see how it all went wrong, but it's still stupid. I said I didn't want to meet the girl when I came home for Thanksgiving, and I didn't want to hear about any more girls. So they will tell everyone I'm not interested and ponder where they went wrong and why they're such bad parents. Meanwhile, I need to fall madly in love with a nice Gujarati girl very soon to get them off my fucking back.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Great pumpkins, Calli. Was there a stencil for the Jack Skellington one? I'd love a Skellington pumpkin.

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

That won't get them off your back. Then it will be kids -- how many? How are you raising them? What about school? And they'll harp on your wife. And your qualities as a husband. You could let them pick somone and hand her to you in a sealed box, marry the sealed box, and they would still be on your back.
It's an awful thing, but they are staying on your back. Do the things that make you happy and ignore their gripeing as best you can. (I'm not saying that's an easy thing to do.)
I'm sorry this is so awful.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
That's very funny, WindSparrow!
Great pumpkins, Calli, smonster & amyth!
Ah, P-C, it sucks. I agree that standing firm is the best course. OTOH, I always worry because that's coming from my Western POV.
