I just laugh at the idea of retirement. I've got some annuities with the total of a year and a half's income in them, but I'll be working as long as I possibly can.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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.

My doctor friend is such an asshole
That's not a friend, that's a person whose orbit you occasionally cross.

Our wings are not tired.
My doctor friend is such an asshole,
Forgive me, but I think, based on your further descriptions of him, he is not a friend.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, I gotta agree he's no friend of yours, Steph.
Brenda, that's marvellous. I can't watch it right now, because it's making me cry, but it's marvellous.

Always Anti-fascist!
Probably not. (although he could be the one purist in the world.)

I just made TCG order another scotch so that I can stay on the internet a bit longer. There is only free internet in the bar and lobby at this hotel. They want 20 pounds a day to give you internet in your room! I'm in withdrawal because I don't have an internet enabled phone with me.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
That is a good point; I mentally categorize him as "friend" because I've known him for over 20 years.
He's an excellent doctor, and was really great with me when I was at the ER, explaining all manner of medical fiddly stuff. I'd want him as my doctor if I were in a genuine medical crisis.
But as a person, I can't say I have anything in common with him any more other than a shared past.

Always Anti-fascist!
I hate that! Well, it helped me win an argument with Former Pothead Step-brother, but generally? I hate it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Brenda, that's marvellous. I can't watch it right now, because it's making me cry, but it's marvellous.
Oh good, not just me.
