I've never found the "it could be worse" philosophy inspiring. If you meet a man who has no feet, it doesn't take away your need for shoes.
Zoe: Next time we smuggle stock, let's make it something smaller. Wash: Yeah, we should start dealing in those black-market beagles.

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.

totally. Although, in the "difficult for a kid to deal with" category, I know the time in my life when I stopped telling people I have MD and started telling the specific disease I have (as one, everyone has heard of, and the other, nobody has heard of). And that was at a Boy Scouts Jampboree. I was walking to the outhouse, and a scout master from another troop asked what happened. I told him I have MD, his response (I swear to god, his words still ring in my ears 30 years later) "Oh, that sucks, that means you are going to die soon, huh?" Thankfully I knew what was up with my particular flavor of MD. But yeah, there are idiots all around.

{{{Sean}}} I'm sorry about your grandmother, and so much ~ma to your friend and his family.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, Sean. I'm so sorry. Strength and love to your family and that of your friend, and especially you.
omnis, I am gobsmacked. That is horrifying.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm so sorry Sean. Wishing lots of love and strength.

I'm so sorry for your family's loss, Sean. And all kinds of healing ~ma to your friend.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I'm sorry, Sean.

My condolences Sean.
