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.

Our wings are not tired.

Your crazy and my crazy should get together and go bowling.

I want in!

~~~Teppy~~~ Those are sympathetic nods of solidarity and compassion from a comfortable distance. (I am such a big ole hugger it is hard to control myself, but I am, out of love and understanding) Yes, I really should deal with teeth stuff too, but don't wanna.

Update on the custody battle. Grandma packed some boxes of her stuff and stomped off to another cousin's house and declared she would be gone to NY by the end of the week. My brother in an unusually bold move for him told my niece he was changing the locks before she changed her mind and came back. We are hoping that her internet research and discussions with people that will talk to her has convinced her that a custody pursuit would be fruitless. She has a very volatile nature and it would not shock me if in just a few days she was all sweetness and light and acted like it was her idea for the child to move in with her mother. (you know the type) It is really sad because she can be very giving and helpful, but whoa can she turn on a dime and be vicious. For someone as even tempered as I it is bizarre to observe.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Laura, IANAD, but sounds kind of like borderline personality disorder. Good for your brother, changing the locks.

I want in!

How many does it take to form a team, four? What should the name be? The Fret-ettes? The Smoking Craters? The Fear Mights (pun on Fir Meit)?

Congrats, sj. That must feel so nice.

My big accomplishment of today is shifting how I store my shoes and getting them organized. Unfortunately the process didn't really net any shoes to go away. I found room for them all, nice and neat. Going to have to get strict with myself sooner or later and do some serious culling.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Yesterday was a 12 hour + day. Got home about 1:45am. Got to work at 9am. It's just after lunch, and I'm damn close to out of spoons. This week is really going to suck. Ugg.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I came home to no home phone service and no Internet service. Have I mentioned lately how much I hate Charter?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My internet is way too unreliable to trust my home phone to it, but I guess most people figure it's less important than cell?

I'm too old-fashioned not to want something I don't have to power in order to communicate, but where is my phone book?

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

Ugh Laura, what a mess, but thank goodness you were there to intervene on behalf of the mom and her daughter. Much continuing ~ma to them both, and you and your brother.

Plus spare spoons and anxiety~ma all around. Sounds like it's been a bit of a Monday.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I still have all my teeth, so that's a win. Dentist said probably a lot of the discomfort I'm having is from my sinuses, because nothing looked amiss. Except for a couple of back teeth which are apparently a training ground for periodontal disease and need root planing and scaling, which does not look fun.

But now my mouth is sore from all the poking around. Shepherd's pie for dinner, definitely.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Your crazy and my crazy should get together and go bowling.

I want in!

Can there be tiaras?
