Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

[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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oh, and in miraculous news, Niki (surrogate mom) has gone home from the hospice/hospital/death watch!!! She is able to take a few steps under her own steam and is working to get strong enough to move to CA. Her doctors are struck dumb.

I am so proud of her and hopeful for at least a while of happiness for her before we revisit her mortality.

bonny, that is SUCH great news! And I know you had a very hard time with your pneumonia earlier, and were willing for it all to end (if I'm remembering a post correctly). But how wonderful for you to have gotten better, so that you could see Niki get better!

And oh, newlyweds. My heart runs over with joy for you. Today and always.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

This is clearly Good News Day. My own, less momentous contribution: Ryan stood up by himself today, with no support. Just straight up from the floor onto his two hind legs. We're very proud.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh, good for Ryan! That's good news for sure!

Yay Niki! bonny, I'm so happy for you. You two have been on my thoughts, a lot.

Congrats, Ryan!

Yay, sj!

And a lot of yays! and ~mas to however need them, because I skipped over 200 posts, to share the next site with you: [link] Mind the haikus section.

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

HUGE congrats to the Tea Cups! It sounds like you had a wonderful day. May all your days together be just as wonderful.

Hil, did I work out from your earlier post that it's your birthday today? If so, have a great one!

I am in Geneva. The airport staff were overwhelmingly lovely. I'm meeting some of The Girl's friends today (she was at school here for a couple of years). And her parents are taking us out for lunch. Which I'm freakily fine with. Happy Saturday, all.

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