Maybe he'll start connecting hitting you with hurt feelings and stop.

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.

Where are all the Bitches today?
I went out with TCG's stepmother today to a tea shop and to get manicures. I haven't had my nails done in a very long time. They're now a gorgeous shade of very dark purple.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I'm at work. In spite of today being 4/20 it's not super exciting here. That is nice. I've been brushing up on my Buffy trivia cuz...well, just cuz.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I'm sorry, Debet. That's so sad.

amyth and I ended up in the Wendy's drivethrough that night behind someone who took ten minutes to place a $40 order, and then another five minutes to pay and receive the order. We wondered at our foolishness in hitting up a fast food restaurant on 4/20.
Glam, you are human. Would it help to acknowledge your anger in the moment? To tell him that it makes you upset and angry? I mean, that's one reason he oughten't do it, right?

I made the mistake of not drinking enough out with my ruggers, and was dead sober arguing gun rights laws with a drunkass redneck (her word) lesbian MP rugger alum. All my old girls went to a snobby restaurant/bar I hate and I ended up with alums I really don't know well. My mood shifted downward and I decided I'd much rather be hanging with amyth than trying to get to know people who are super drunk.
And I was hungry so we went through Wendy's. Sorry, not that good a story.
But boyo, were there some good stories at brunch this morning. Spooning under a car, three people carrying someone out of a taxi, epic bad dancing, and other assorted shenanigans from last night and legends of years past.

is anyone doing low sodium diet?
next question: how the fuck do you manage it? sodium is in everything.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I imagine you have to make a lot of stuff from scratch at home, because processed food (soups, etc) have a ton of sodium in them so they can last longer on the shelf.
