Hil, best of luck!
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Here's a funny coincidence I was reminded of today. About 7 or 8 years ago, a dude knocked on my apartment door. He lived below me and his bathroom ceiling had just caved in - as it turned out from a water leak inside the wall that they eventually had to knock down my bedroom wall to fix.
I just interviewed that dude for a job. And in fact, at the time all this wall destruction happened he actually had my job.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I think it's a fantastic idea, Scrappy.

Very weird stuff, brenda. Is he a good candidate for the job?
Scrappy...what everyone else has said. Go school!

I think the home visit went pretty well. The woman who came said that the person who runs the rescue will get in touch with me about the next steps.

Scrappy,
also, many institutions also have financial support geared toward "older" graduate students, so you might be able to have some additional financial assistance as well.
I think the buffista populace endorse your idea!

Nah, we agreed it's not right for him. But still so funny.
We did meet once in the intervening years, about 4 years ago at a going away party for someone else, which is how we first made the connection. But I'd forgotten that this was the same guy.
Also funny: Lucy seems to have made an impression on him. On both occasions, he was all "you've got a really big dog, right? And you used to live at 515 Briar?"

So, I'm kinda thinking of going back to school to get a Master's in Social Work to become a therapist. I'm 56. Is this nuts?
I totally endorse this plan Scrappy.
I was 40 when I finished my MS and, in the ensuing years realized something that should have been obvious to me from the outset. People are more comfortable talking to someone with some miles on them.
I certainly support your practice by buying a Scrappy Is Wise t-shirt.

You're already a wonderful therapist, Scrappy. Your wise words have helped me many times. All you need is the piece of paper.

Oy. I'm not friends with my mother on facebook. A while ago, I promised her that, when I had kids, if I was posting photos and stories about them on facebook, then I'd friend her. She just sent me a message trying to convince me that this promise extends to her "granddog," as well.
