Sox, I am so sorry. Please give T my and R's condolences. If there is anything that we can do, please let us know.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

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.

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

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Eeeuw and eeeuw, smonster.
Many good thoughts to Sox's DH. I'm glad his grandmother was ready, and I hope it was as easeful as possible. One day long ago my 90-something-year-old great-grandmother confided to my mom that all her best friends were gone and she'd just finished a craft project and gotten a good haircut and had one nice dress left so she guessed she was all ready to go, and died in her sleep two days later.
I want to decorate cookies and drink wine with juliana! Please?

Ann, that's a ferret.
(There were chicken plucking machines in the basement.)
Either way, egad.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd love to know when it's a good time to go. As opposed to hurting so much that going is preferable to anything else, you know?

not your mom's socks.
Maria, will do. We're trying to sort travel stuff now. I think everyone's doing ok, and is grateful she had a long life and that she got to know her great-grandkids, and they, her.
Cookie decorating sounds awesome. Chicken plucking machines, NSM.

not your mom's socks.
From DH, when I passed on messages: "Thank you all. Brought tears to my eyes."

Sox, sympathy to your DH and peace to his grandma's memory.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Sox, I'm sorry I've been not here, but when I read Beep Me, I did think lots of warm thoughts, condolences and peace~ma for your DH and family.
bonny, I don't even know what to say about that mix up.
smonster, I like your feathers just the way they are - no plucking necessary. And reallY? Less ruffling would be great too, so I'll see if I can send a soothing breeze your way.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
All good thoughts to Sox and family.
smonster, awkward day all around.
And now I want cookies.
I finally feel like a real person again. After an extremely long, hot shower, and feeling like a zombie all day and all night long, I got to sleep and I feel like my brain is starting to crank again. Which is good.
I had weird dreams, though. I dreamt I had to go to Venezula with my sister, where we were kidnapped to this old ramshackle hotel in the country, where we were forced to write bad romance novel in English, to be translated into Spanish. There was another woman there, and she was supposed to be helping us, but all she did was add purple prose to the love scenes, and I was very annoyed.
They let us go after we'd finished a short story, and I was trying to figure out whether or not I wanted my name on that horrible piece of shite or not. And then I woke up.

Always Anti-fascist!
I would probably laugh if someone asked me about "getting plucked"
