his whole hormonal "loose joints, tight muscles" thing?
Oh, god, when it feels like someone is taking the Jaws of Life to my hipbones . . .
Zoe: Uh huh. River, honey? He's putting the hair away now. River: It'll still be there... waiting.

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.

Gotta love the moral boosting emails of University IT:
This summer we have begun to swap out old staff computers many of which are 7 years old. The oldest machine that is still on a staff desktop is 12 years old running on a single 1.0Ghz processor(about 1/2 the speed of the latest iPhone)!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Who can I punch in the face for this whole hormonal "loose joints, tight muscles" thing?
Will punching someone make it stop? 'Cause I could be not a pacifist if that would work.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
{{omnis}} Congratulations on your new place; may it be the source of many a relaxed evening and the occasional tall tale.
I'm ... ok. Not numb but not really feeling a lot either. Trying to take care of my friends and chosen family and to let them take care of me. And trying not to judge myself too harshly when the thought of getting out of bed makes me want to cry.
Thank you for asking; your kindness and gentle humour have been much appreciated.
Andi and Sail, thank you for the lovely hand-holding thoughts; they make me smile a lot.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Everyone, thanks for the ~ma. I'm really hoping that this is as manageable as it can be for her.
Karl, much light, love and peace to you. While I do not yet know the grief of losing a parent, I am best friends with the grief and anger at losing one's spouse. Don't be proud, and be selfish. Allow people to take care of you. It's the easiest way for them to let you know they love you. I would be a mess without the support of my family and friends.

The status is NOT quo.
Much ~ma for Maria and family and for Karl.

Good lord, if I were the employee on a 12 year old computer I'd be like "sorry, can't do any work, computer is still thinking!"

Karl, it's good to see you here. I'm sorry things are so tough, but you're being thought of in warm and gentle ways.
Maria, the love and thought for you doesn't end, even if we forget to say so. May your cousin have the best possible outcome, and the least distressful route to get there.
omnis, it's wonderful to read of your delight in your new place. Y'all should be grateful I'm not giving a play-by-play of the new front steps, only three years in the achievement. Still, new front steps!

Tee hee hee. Updated profile with new address, so Buffista Map is accurate.
(what? I'm bored and avoiding manual labor at work)
omnis, it's wonderful to read of your delight in your new placeOh good! Glad I'm entertaining. I was wondering if folks were getting sick of the updates. First time home owner at 40 just seems so old. It's like, I'm finally an adult... now if only I could find me a wife, then I'd **really** be all grown up!

Serial...
Heard about this on NPR Marketplace: [link]
275 sq ft... um. That's a little smaller than my new living room. Does that include bathroom and kitchen? And a closet? If it was shared bathroom, might not be too bad, if you don't have a lot of stuff. It'd be like a dorm room.
