No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

[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.

Compassionately intolerant

The hospital he's in really does allow dogs to visit, so his wife is taking their dog tomorrow. That's pretty cool.

I bet they have terrific recovery records, as a result.

How wonderful. And what great news about his care and results.

If, god forbid, someone has to have such a crisis, it seems Bro-of-Tep did it right.

Teppy, I'm glad to hear that he has been admitted, and is settled in. And that they allow the dog to visit - that's just so . . . civilized.

Connie, lots of heart ~ma to your DH.

My daughter is sick, again, so I won't be going to work, again, tomorrow. I have to travel for work this weekend, so here's crossing my fingers that I don't get it.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

My mother has literally doused me with Lysol to keep me from getting her germs.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

UCLA Westwood has dogs sometimes, and the last time they did have one, they brought it by for the orderly that was standing outside my room, and didn't actually bring it in to me, the patient. It was kind of strange.

Well, she could have been psychic. It's not like I am the type to realise a benefit.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Best news under bad circumstances. And I am going to guess that the dog visiting is just what he needs.

And heart mA~ to your dh , Connie

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yikes, Tep, I'm glad he got into the hospital and is getting treated.

Tell him, even Tom Waits gave up drinking. Back in 1993 when his last child was born.

aside to bonny: I think that L. is going to give you flyers, so if you haven't already, check in with her. I really appreciate you helping her out, since I don't know how to thank her for doing what she's doing for us.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Steph, I am so glad that your brother is in the hospital and is detoxing safely. And I'm glad he has made this step and is getting himself the long term help he needs. So much love to you and yours, Tep.

Connie - I'm so glad that DH wasn't having a heart attack and yeah - all mighters 30 years ago were way funner.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Tell him, even Tom Waits gave up drinking. Back in 1993 when his last child was born.

He and his wife want to set about making a baby (this is a recent confidence he's told me, which I am now telling the internet), and it might be that, as much as anything, that pushed him into this. He'd be the first in 3 generations to raise a child while sober. It would be a mighty thing, and I am dead serious when I say that.
