My cousin and his girlfriend just found out the sex of the baby: it's a boy. I am so excited for them, but I'm also a bit sad that I will probably never experience that.
I have a good life, and I need to appreciate it.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

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.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Our wings are not tired.
Mixed emotions are totally understandable, Maria.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Mixed emotions make us human. You can be happy for them and have it be a little sad for you at the same time, Maria.
But hiking boots are NOT IT. if you need support there are nice flats out there.
Oh dear lord, no. I can't wear heels any longer but there are totally flats out there that are appropriate for all situations. Find them. Wear them.

Always Anti-fascist!
I feel that way, like, constantly, Maria. And I'm not grieving a fresh loss.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm beginning to suspect it will always suck at least a little, Maria.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Yes, this. Many hugs for you.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Hugs, Maria. Mixed emotions are totally natural, and the mix will shift over time.

Thanks, all. I'm getting to a really good place, but there are still things that sting. I have a feeling this particular one will do so for a while.
I never expected to not be a mom, let alone a widow at 39.
