So sorry, Strix.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

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.

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

Heh! Baseball is all about the power-ass. Emmett just noticed his recently at baseball camp when he saw his own shadow.

Thanks, all. Really. He was a wonderful person, and I will likely bore you with a few details in the next week or so, so caveat emptor!
Is it horrible and incredibly cynical that my first reaction, after shock and sadness, was "Oh, fuck, it's my personal goddamn "The Big Chill: 2013!)
But,no.It will be good, as these things go.

I want to hear these stories. I love stories of great teaching and mentorship.

Strix, I would love to hear your stories too.
Reason number 1,000,001 why I know I married the right man. I just sat next to him while he watched an entire football game, without wanting to run from the room and hide. No screaming, yelling, or pacing around the room. I didn't even know the Patriots were losing until I looked up from the newspaper and saw the score.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm sorry, Strix. My condolences.
That is a saga! But congrats to you for persevering and congrats to Ryan, what a big boy!
I'm just happy we didn't have to buy him a whole new bed just yet. We've already had a couple of unexpected expenses this month, we didn't really need to add a major furniture purchase to it. (Most of the credit goes to Biyi really, who discovered that the offending nuts were removable.)
