Mal ,'War Stories'
[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.
Stephanie, sounds tough all around, but you are making some good decisions.
smonster, tipsy-quoting Dot Parker = LOVE.
Also, if you run out of half-and-half, search the car and couch and purses and coat pockets for change, buy the smallest, cheapest cup of coffee you can at a large chain convenient store, and take a enough of those half and half thingies to see you through to payday.
And half and half is .99 for a pint at TJ's.
I know that's so hard to do, Stephanie. And I'm not in your shoes, so I don't know what the right call is, especially when there's the element of the heart in there. But I think you're right. Letting go is super hard. And it's awful to watch people go through stuff you know they don't have to, but sometimes it's like the butterfly coming out of the chrysalis...the struggle is necessary.
I hope this doesn't come off the wrong way; I really empathize.
Stephanie, it's a tough situation you are in. I don't have easy answers (or really, any tough answers, either) but I do have lots of supportive thoughts for you - ~ma for you to hold on, and some for the father of your baby, that he can work his way through whatever this challenge is, so he can come out the other side and justify your belief in him.
I don't have any advice, Stephanie, but it sounds like what you need isn't advice so much as empathy, and that I have. {{hugs}}

Really?! I know butter is cheaper there, but now I am going to have to price it at my local TJ's (I have a local TJ's! It's still so awesome to say that!) because that's .30 cheaper than my Hy-Vee.

Or you can follow the advice of my great-aunt, who told me that if I drank 10 cups of coffee black, I'd never go back.
Ew, black coffee.
Stephanie, good luck. That sounds tough, and I know you're close to others he's close to, so whatever it is, is probably stressy for all. Hope it turns out all well.

Or sleep. Or, probably, crawl off of the ceiling. Mmm, coffee.
Really?!
Right? And that is the only item I can price off of the top of my head but I saw it when I was there tonight. I didn't even buy any. Clearly I noticed because I needed to tell Buffistas.
I phrased that badly. She recommended 10 cups in a row, not necessarily on the same day. These days it's possible that half-and-half is cheaper than coffee.
