Sounds very Ancient Greek somehow...
Well, there are enough sisters for a lamenting chorus.
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

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.

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

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
'Candyman': How One Angeleno Created -- And Then Lost -- The Jelly Belly Empire
This explains something I've wondered for years. Chris Fosselman went to my grammar school. He introduced us to Jelly Bellies in the mid '70s. We all went nuts for them and he'd take orders and we'd bring our cash to school and buy them from him. I was familiar with Jelly Bellies long before them hit the national scene so I figured they must have started here.
Yet when I moved up north, I heard about the Jelly Belly factory in Fairfield, CA. And it seemed strange to me that the factory should be there when they'd first made a splash in the San Gabriel Valley. This explains why.

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.
hugs and warm thoughts for Sunil. So much good stuff has already been said, I don't have anything to add.

Being an enormous fan of Forgotten Silver, also directed by Costa Boles...I'd have a hard time trusting this documentary.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Sunil - everyone were dean-on. You are an amazing person, but what you're going through is nothing but an emotional abuse, where you're never good enough (which is bullshit). Having that from your parents, while as Steph said, are not doing that on purpose, is extremely difficult.
But you are not alone. You are not insane to ask for a relationship where your wants are important as well. And I can't tell you how proud I am in you and your brothers, for growing up to be good, thoughtful to others [multicultural] wishes human beings, despite the examples that were given to you.

The status is NOT quo.
P-C you'll be ready to marry when you are ready. I wasn't ready until last January and I've got a few years on you. There is nothing wrong with getting married later in life.
Yep, this. And trust those of us who have been through it--better to marry late and never have to suffer the anguish of divorce, even if it's on relatively civil terms.
Secret message to ND: PS I heart you.

More snow! After London, where it almost never snows, this is all quite exciting. I'm sure it will get dull quickly, but yay snow.
I think she said she cries herself to sleep every night.
That's what The Girl's father says to her. Situation not dissimilar (although with The Girl it's because she's an evil gay person and that is Not Done In Israel, even though it obviously is). Wishing you peace, P-C. As Amy says, do what makes YOU happy, then at least someone in this situation will be happy. From experience with TG, I'm fairly sure your parents never will be. But you can be. We battle her parents every sodding day, but we're happy regardless.
quester! Nice to see you.

People who set their happiness meter according to the actions of others are doomed to disappointment.

P-C, maybe you should start a website intro service for Indian-Americans. An okcupid type of thing, but with all the particular nuances that Indian families are looking for.
