Tep,
glad you are getting some breathing room. Sounds like that took all your self-restraint for 2013. Whew.
And what Liese said.
And I like my space too.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Trudy, that's a lovely memory. Thanks for sharing it.
Steph, applause for not smacking that woman who touched your hair. I'm glad it's all working out.
My physical boundaries are strangely permeable. If I don't actively dislike a person, I can tolerate a lot of closeness and touching, which is weird for an introvert, I think.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Trudy, that was a wonderful memorial.
I would have hit that woman, Steph!
I'm very particular about who can and can't touch me. And no one invades my space!

Was reading here today, and just wanted to send my ~mas to all of you. While I don't have the time to write and read here as I'd like to or used to, it really helps to know there's such a place online (or well, at all), and go on with my unglamorous daily chores that keep me away from writing/reading here more often.
So, just wanted to say that. Just reading how you're helping each other helps me to keep my head up. Thanks for that.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I'm very introverted and generally all in for being touched by people I like. I'm one of those annoying huggy people. But I also try to respect boundaries and would never go in for a hug (or any kind of contact) on someone who flinches or gets that look of terror in their eyes. The tells are very obvious if you bother to look for them, no love to the grabby hands lady.

Caller: "I'd like to report someone drunk driving after the superbowl."
Me: "um, it hasn't even started yet."

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Erin, maybe they're just being proactive?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Maybe they were predicting the future! Ask who won, and place a bet.

LOL, she was sure there was going to be drunk driving afterwards. I think she's right...but...can't really dispatch anyone until a crime is actually committted. Sitting on the sofa, having a beer and watching tv is hardly criminal :)

Well, I am not watching the superbowl, nor am I cleaning my house, but I did do my taxes!!
Weirdly, I had two 401k's that I rolled over into the new employer's, and both sent me things--made it look like my income was a heck of a lot more than it was (even though both were non-taxable, still!)
