That really massively sucks for yor brother. I'm sorry.
Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

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.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
That's a bummer, Steph. You made the place sound really great - and I don't even like beer.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh Steph, I'm sorry.
What does "moral claim" mean?
Sorry to come back to this so late. I feel like the conversation ended up clarifying things a bit. But all I meant was that it doesn't make sense to say that it's ONLY a relationship if it changes you, because not all relationships do.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Tep, that BITES. I know your bro put a lot into that place.
This reminds me of how my greatest fear, when I was about to graduate high school and go off to college, was that I would turn into someone else -- that I'd change so much that I'd no longer recognize myself, or that I'd become someone that HS me wouldn't like.
See, I was the complete opposite -- I was half-afraid college would suck as much as HS, and half-wild with hope that it would be different, and I would be different.
It was more like I got to be me, fully me, find out who me really was without all of the pre-judged baggage of years of being an outcast and embrace my flaming intellectual snarky geekhood.
I mean, I didn't roll out at 22 a fully realized self (who DOES?!) but my college experience was an amazing step in letting my self loose and finding out that people actually embraced it, instead of excoriating it, was...a life-changer.

Oh Steph that is a huge blow. I'm glad they will be able to continuing bottling but the pub will be missed.

Teppy - that's too bad. I'm sorry to hear that but v. relieved that your brother still has a job and the cannery is still a go.

Inadvertently discovered that celebrity-feet websites are a thing that exists.
And wondered if it was ita's barefoot site or something more particular.
