I'm sorry, Ginger. Ah, family.
How annoying, omnis. Does the landlord pay your water bill? If it's the landlord, they should have extra incentive to make the maintenance person get his act together.
I can hurt a demon!! That's right. I'm back. And I'm a BLOODY ANIMAL!

[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.

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.
For people who need to see something very cute, and can watch a video on YouTube, here is a cute little baby ferret, who is a new addition to the household of an acquaintance of mine from another forum: [link] One warning, for those of us from non-US-type places - the person taking the video and talking uses the word "spaz", which I understand is seen as quite offensive elsewhere. In other videos she has posted, she uses it quite a bit.

Writing a death notice for this family, which is a morass of divorces and estrangements, is like negotiating a minefield and paying for each step.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Sympathies, David.

Ginger, I'm so sorry. Especially when the rituals of death are more traumatizing than the event itself.
David, that's horrible. Prayers to his family and his community.
Spidra, ugh. I cannot imagine having to deal with the unresolved parent-child dynamics in my own family in such an close and suffocating manner. Hell, I moved to New Orleans to increase the geography. Hang in there, I hope like hell that you're able to break away or somehow otherwise find some peace in the situation.
Amy, continued ~ma during the surgical recovery.
Nothing much going on this front except it is freezing in the office and I am so relieved it's Friday! Oh, and it's my grandma's 94th birthday today. Poor Grandma- she's been in the nursing home since September and it doesn't look like she will ever be leaving. Any spare ~ma for a peaceful passing would be most appreciated - I know she is not happy with spending her life like this. She's a trooper though.

Oh, sorry to hear that, Nora. Hugs for you, and peaceful-passing~ma for your grandmother.

I'm sorry Spidra, and wish I had something more helpful to say.
Peaceful passing, for your grams, Nora.

Peaceful passing to your gramdma, Nora. It is hard.
