Sending you much strength and peace, Frank.
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

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
Well, aside from a little family drama at the very end.
I think it's de rigueur for funerals of family members. See my out-laws for corroborating evidence.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Grief fucks everything up. My mother is still not speaking to her brother after grandma's funeral. Period.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
It was in 1993 or 4.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
ugg. In the middle of week-of-stress, Closet World is trying to change the design of my custom closet. I specifically said, no sliding doors. Hate tracks!! And now they are saying "we can't hang hinged doors unless there are gaps, please see drawing" and the drawing shows blah! And they redesigned the layout to accomadate the hinged doors. And the hinged doors are not paneled like the original design. And. And. Gorrum it! I'm having a stressful week, why the fuck are you throwing this at me!?!?!?!?! I told the designer, the most important part of the design is the doors. The inside I can do for a lot cheaper, if I had to. But the doors, it's impossible to find anything but sliding around here. And I hate sliding. I'm an inch away from canceling the whole thing. Except I wonder if it's out of stress from everything else, or rightful to cancel frustration.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Closets matter. You use them every day. Or will, if they're usable. And it's you using them, not the closet company. Stand your ground. Get what you need.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm with Liese. Stand your ground. And if they can't give you what you want, cancel and go with someone who can.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
And may I add, after the fight (physical and emotional) I had a month or so ago with my sliding closet doors - more cursing in that 1/2 hour than in the entire previous year I'd estimate, plus tears, recriminations, and pulling the frame completely away from the mirror/door in the wrestling match (still pulled away, BTW) - I support your desire to have NON-sliding doors and your right to not pay for something that's not what you asked for or wanted.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Stand your ground. And if they can't give you what you want, cancel and go with someone who can.
Yep. The key is to figure out what really matters to you (the doors) and be willing to honestly cancel and walk away.

Absolutely this.
Customer service is a dying art...not made better when people give in to giving up what they want!
I'm finally recovered from poll working.
My co-ballot clerk sent me an email today saying that she wants to get together for a chat. "If I can still like you after sitting on that hard chair, working with you for 15 hours, we should be friends!"
I think I'm going to love her.
