Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[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.

Thrive to spite them

You can watch it on syfy's website or on hulu. I was impressed with several of the make ups although I thought someone else should have won.

f I were a malicious person, I'd accept offers on principle, with shade of glee when it was someone just going through the motions that they were unwilling to live up to.

I'm a malicious person too. But these are people I hope to do business with someday. So doing that would be kind of costly for me.

The status is NOT quo.

Warning: braindump ahead

OMG today has been sucky covered in suck sauce. As you know, I’ve already spent more than $600 in vet bills since last week (Mia seems to be getting better, but they won’t know for sure if this is FIP or a normal infection until they can re-check her blood next week, so that’s still hanging over my head). Well last night I noticed that Simon’s eye was red and weepy, so I took him in today--$89 later, I’ve discovered he has bacterial conjunctivitis and is also now on meds. THEN, as I did errands, my car started making a godawful noise. Took it to the shop to get a plethora of repairs (that at 85K miles, aren’t surprising) to the tune of $579. And THEN we had our tax meeting with the accountant and discovered that despite paying all of our estimated taxes last year, ND’s W-2 income went down while his 1099 income went up...which means we owe about $5000. And our estimated tax payments are going to be about the same for this year.

Seriously, I just want to collapse in a hysterically sobbing pile of suckitude. We can’t even cover all of our rent until some of the business money comes in, and the credit cards are so high that I feel like it will take us a decade or more to pay them off, and I think I’m going to need to find a summer job, which means I can’t go home and visit my parents. SUCK. SUCKY SUCKNESS. SUCKARAMA.

Okay. I feel a little bit better now. Thanks.

{{{Pix}}} I'm sorry. That's a lot of suck to deal with at once.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

God, Pix. I am so sorry for all of the suck. It is overwhelming and awful. I am dealing with similar issues (vet bills, car expenses, credit card debt, not enough income) and I hate the stress. I hope things ease up for you soon, love. I wish there was something I could do besides listen and empathize.

Oh, Pix. My poor lady.

Thanks guys. And I know a lot of us are dealing with suckitide of one kind or another right now, so that listening and empathy means so much.

Ugh, Pix. That's definitely a lot. Ouch. ...I'd say maybe buy a lotto ticket, but I plan to win, so.... :) $500 million!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Thanks, everyone. I was just flabbergasted.

Pix, that's a whole lot of suck. I'm sorry you have to deal.

meara, it's now at $540 million. I'll be playing, as will my father, mother, and sister. We're all planning to win.... L and I spent 45 minutes on the phone the other day spending it. The return to reality was cruel.

Hubby and I like to play "What to do with the lottery winnings?" too. So far we've decided on touring Europe while our house in Monterrey is built.
