can he take a vacation (legit) for a week?
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

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.

No. He hasn't been there long enough to accrue any vacation days, and he needs the money.

good on your dad for getting another doggie. I think that can really help the grieving process (for some) to get another anipal (!) right after loss.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
is wearing him out, and he just seems ... frailer than I remember. I told him I was worried about him, and he said, "Oh, don't worry about me, I'll be fine."
Talking to him and being clear that you love him and are worried about him is the best you can do. And I think he'll listen. This last year has been really hard on him but he loves you.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Lots of hairpats, Jilli. To both of you, if your dad will accept virtual hairpats from a kindly stranger.
Oh, Erin. Sorry about your FOOSH! I personally am willing to spot you at least 5/8 of a badass point; just don't tell Hec.

She did NOT tell us this. Or it's a different person. Probably the later.
Still weird.

Ha, I am pretty sure she is not getting married tonight.

The status is NOT quo.
It's no FOOSH, but good lord does my ear hurt. I haven't had ear pain like this in years. I've taken decongestants, Advil, and now (in desperation) a leftover tylenol with codeine. I've already tried hydrogen peroxide and later warm olive oil and a hot compress. Nothing seems to help. This constant discomfort/pain thing sucks.
ETA: And now I can't remember if I actually typed my sympathies for Erin's no good very bad day or thought about them. If I didn't type them already, my apologies Erin. What a rotten day, and I'm so sorry about your poor arm. FOOSH may be the best acronym ever, however.
