I'm so sorry, Ginger. That's awful.
Sunnydale's got too many demons and not enough retail outlets.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Something of a milestone day today - the first time I've ever had to call in sick, not because I was sick but because Ryan was. He felt fine, he just had a rash of pink blotches that was diagnosed as a viral rash. It was deemed contagious, so no childcare for him, and Biyi had an all-day court assignment.
I feel bad about missing work, but spending the day with Ryan is heaps more fun. We went out to the park (beautiful springtime weather today), looked at dinosaur and Richard Scarry books, and we even had our first lesson in addition. (Ryan asked me to count his fingers, saying that he was holding up five fingers on one hand and three on the other. Led to an explanation that 5+3=8, with some additional finger work to follow up.)
Biyi was very appreciative of her hubby when she came home, which was nice; less nice that it was prompted by her interpreting for the Family Law court all day. Involved a 50+ year old misogynist who decided to get himself a wife from China (so let's add offensive, racist attitudes about submissive Asian women). The marriage ended in domestic violence. They had a five month old son at the time.
Pretty sure that of the two of us, I had the better day.

Unless the end of her story involved a nail gun and a vacant building, yes.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Ginger, that's so horrible. I'm sorry.

Hm. Pink blotches about the size of a pencil eraser or a pinky nail? No itching, no hives, no other symptoms? All over from neck to knees? If so, I had that. Twice. Nobody ever diagnosed it as anything, but I wouldn't be surprised to find it was viral. No one ever caught it from me, though.

Heh. I see the judge's ruling now. "You want it to be one way. But it's the other way." "Stop saying that!"

Pretty much, except on his arms they reached about the size of a dollar coin. That was disconcerting.

Definitely.
Poor Ryan, I hope he is better soon.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Sounds like Ryan has "fifth disease" [link]
I love that they got tired of making up names so they just gave that one a number. "Eh, its the fifht nasty rash kids get..."
And miss E-Strix... don't go and blame the tequila!

OK.
