Sure, just as I get a head of steam going, and making some progress, I gotta go to a meeting. Blargh.

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.

Happy Birthday Vortex. And for perspective, I'm 52. So if you have entered your 5th decade, I'm well into my sixth.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I entered my 4th decade over 12 years ago
22 years ago, to be accurate.

Steph, I've been thinking about your brother a lot and just sending good thoughts and vibes his way and yours.
I know he's got a really strong support system with you and his wife.
One of Mom's best friends is a recovering alcoholic and it's been 4 or 5 years since she started recovery and she goes to AA meetings every day. For awhile she was going 2x a day. She's said that was huge helping her stay sober and accountable. I know AA isn't for everyone but I hope your brother can find a support system that will work for him like that.

Is he a reader, Teppy? I have an excess of books on dead trees.
I have a theme song. It's Springsteen's "One Step Up."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
How are you feeling these days, Ginger? And where are you treatment-wise? Feel free to NOT answer these questions if you just don't feel like talking about it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Some of my friends are trying to convince me to go camping with them in North Carolina for a long weekend this summer. I've never been camping before. I'm uncertain about this.
