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.
Cash, I'm so sorry.
Damn! Cash, sending swift recovery and easy remission vibes to your mom.
So very sorry, Cash! I hope treatment is swift and effective.
Good outcome~ma, Cash.
{{Karl}} I am so sorry for your loss.
{{Cash}} That sucks donkey balls. I hope it's an early stage and easily treatable.
And from farther back:
Yay, exam passing, Anne! Keep up the good work.
Multiply like the wind, little cells for Ginger.
Sean, great review! The play sounded delightful.
Karl, I'm so deeply sorry. She left a great legacy to the world.
And Cash, very best wishes to you all.
I'm so very sorry, Karl. I wish we could see you around these parts more often, but not for reasons like this. Never for reasons like this.
And, Cash, God damn cancer. Fucking hell. I'm enraged for your mom and your family.

{{{Karl}}}
Fuck Cancer, indeed.

I got the appraisal for the condo today. My purchase price is $120k, the appraisal came in at $125k! Instant $5k equity. Woot. That shaved about a year off of PMI.
Much ~ma for your mom, Cash.
Zen - comment about something you have in common and/or ask a question about something in his profile that intrigues you. It sounds obvious and yet weird to contemplate, but I've found that people are much more likely to email back if you ask a question.
Good advice! If I can't find something in his profile interesting enough to ask a question about, maybe I'm not really that into him.
Also, bonny, sounds like you found yourself another "user" personality. She takes for granted that you'll do whatever she needs, she offers you nothing in return except the use of something you don't really need and that doesn't "cost" her anything, AND you're supposed to get the A/C repaired while she's away?? Good grief. And I can't help but note that when you needed to get Bartleby to the doctor quick, you first tried to get a zipcar before you asked this woman to borrow her car. Doesn't sound like she's someone you really trust to be there for you when the chips are down.
I don't think friendships should be based on "what have you done for me lately", and I don't even think that it's necessarily bad if one person does significantly more giving than the other. It's when a long-term pattern of one-sided giving sets in, with the other person taking the giver for granted, and taking advantage by asking for more and more favors.
