ita, have you posted that information with that phrasing before? Because I just got a massive deja vu reading that post.

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've talked about Jamaican attitudes to pets before. I don't know if I'm recycling myself, though.

It could be I'm suffering from a localized time portal. No biggie.

Barb! So much Awesome~ma to you and your book.
And thank you, all. It is incredible. Hollaback NYC had 5 years of stories before that happened.
We're one month old.
(Hey, it's not such hard work, as much as enabling a certain space to exist and "then see what happens". Well, apparently A Lot Happens).
And I've got no one to blame but you people. You're the ones who told me about Hollaback to begin with.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think P-C should get a kitty and name it Caucasian Devil Cat.

Also, thanks, Shir, for helping to make the world a better place and stuff....

All is well that ends in pizza.

Hey all. I'm not at all caught up, and probably won't be able to, but that's AWESOME, Shir! GO YOU!
book ~ ma to you, Barb, and much ~ ma to everyone, sprinkled liberally, with love.
I hesitate to update, because anything I say will be really depressing, but several of you have asked after me and my brother over email, which I so appreciate, and I don't have the energy to update folks individually right now.
Spent the week in NY last week, and I'm glad I went, but things are grim. Bro is coming up on his third week in a coma, and it doesn't look like he's going to wake up. His neurosurgeon said that the tumor is growing far more aggressively than they ever anticipated. They found evidence of the tumor deep in his brain where the brain bleed occurred, which they never expected to find.
It's hard to describe how much pain my SiL is going through right now. She just lost her father a little over a month ago, she's essentially lost my brother, but not really, not yet. Plus, my nephew is developmentally delayed, so he can't really share in the gravity of the situation with her. He doesn't process emotions very well, which is kind of isolating for her. In some ways, he's more dependent on her, and in some ways, he's more emotionally distant. All this, with the holidays coming up. My heart just aches for her.
And then there's my middle brother, argh. WTF. I called him from NY and he said, "If S. isn't going to wake up, I have no interest in coming to visit." Sometimes he just leaves me speechless. I could unpack the many ways in which that statement disappoints me, but I'm too tired. I didn't tell my SiL he said that. Oh, and classic: he said that he can't talk to my SiL on the phone because, "All she does is get upset." STAB.
In more trivial news, I tore some cartilage in my knee while I was in NY last week, and it looks like I'm going to have outpatient surgery on it next week. I was JUST complaining that I had extra money in my healthcare flex spending account that I was going to lose by the end of the year. GOOD ONE, UNIVERSE!
