Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

And I am one of them, but no reason you shouldn't mention it! She does a great live show. I loved her live show.

Thanks, smonster. I love her music and am so excited to be here. It's a small venue and the tickets were cheap. Of course she isn't goin on until 10:30 so must stay awake.

I am ... kinda-sorta one of them. I am conflicted about her.

but no reason you shouldn't mention it!

This! This is very true!

She's an amazing performer. I love watching her shows.

The first band was great. No idea what their name was but one of AP's house mates. This is more like I bar than a concert hall. Most people are standing, but I have my bench staked out.

where's the concert at, sj?

Got the final reckoning for Tom's mother's estate settlement expenses. It's quite a lot of money. Tom has taken to bed to make it go away. Sigh.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Wait, you have to PAY to settle the estate? If there was any kind of estate wouldn't it, I dunno,pay for itself?

Nora, it's at a place called The Middle East. We also ate here tonight and the food was excellent. I'm sorry about the estate stuff. I first read your post as saying that you had inherited quite a bit of money. I liked my misread better.

That sounds awful. Did he co-sign for her debts? Otherwise he shouldn't have to pay them! But I guess if she was ill, sometimes there's no other choice.

Her estate was spent on her end of life care. Since Tom's dad refuses to sell the house (Eve's half of the house has gone to Tom) we only have rental income to pay for the settlement of the estate. These are solicitor fees and other estate settlement legal fees. I don't even know. I don't even know where the hell the rent money's been going since November.

We just paid the credit card off from our travels there and the funeral costs, too. Like, this week.
