Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

[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.

Now there's a way to protest those intrusive TSA X-ray scanners without saying a word.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
awesome, i apologize for criticizing her and throwing away her food, and now she's criticizing how much "stuff" i have, because clearly the best response to deflect from her hoarding is to point out mine. But i know from prior experience that i if i point out "learned behaviours" i'll get hours of diatribe and i just can't handle that. *sigh* anyone able to airlift me out of Burke, VA for 38 hours?

Crap, I can't get out there before then. I've got a board meeting tonight and I've got to go over to Mom's on Wednesday before she leaves on her trip.

Thanks, billytea, now I can add "Marmot Mother" to my list of expletives.

Vortex, the two-year-old coffee is probably worth trying. I bet it's fine. Coffee loses flavor over time, but if it's been sealed that will have been minimized. As long as it doesn't smell rancid when you open it, go ahead and brew some up and see if it still tastes good.

Parents are always right! Ok, that might come from the mother of 16 and 18 yo boys place.
{Sunil} You can't make other people happy; you can only work on your own happiness. You also cannot want for other people, or make other people care. I respect your desire to please your parents, but it is essential for you to make the decisions you know are right for you. I'm sorry that you have to go through this.
When I am most frustrated with waiting for my son to wake up and fix his life I try and channel the emotion into working on my own. While it is obvious I am powerless to provide goals or the ambition to achieve them in my son's life, perhaps I have a shot at accomplishing something on my list. Yes, things still suck on the eldest son front. But I am working out more!

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Ah, erin. I've reached the point where I mostly don't attempt to point out things like the fact that a lot of the behavior they say they don't like in me is stuff I learned from them. I hope you get some relief soon. In the meantime, make guacamole with those avocados and get some tortilla chips. :)
