Happy birthday, Jilli!

[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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Happy birthay, Jilli! You your own self are a huge gift to all the rest of us; in addition to birthday wishes to you, I'm sending love and "Well done you!" vibes to your dad and your mom's spirit for bringing you into the world. They did splendidly, truly.
Lots of vibes to Bartleby and comfort to bonny.
And all my good thoughts ever to Maria. So very, deeply good to see your pixels.
ION, not sure if I should post this in Press, but I just heard about this group and they seem like a good site to bookmark: Take Them A Meal, basically a crisis-related cat-herding website. If someone you know is having surgery or on bed rest or bereaved and immobilized with grief, it's an easy way to coordinate making sure they get fed (and get food they can actually eat). Someone just sent me a link on my aunt's behalf -- she just had back surgery, and her church group used the website to set up a regular schedule for the month she'll be home but in bed. You can check for dietary restrictions, find out which meals still need a volunteer, get directions to the house or (if you're too harried or too far away) just make a donation and have the website order and deliver a meal. Freaking genius.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
That is a fantastic site, JZ.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Sending warm thoughts to those involved in The Alchemist - may the future be brighter than it looks now.
Hurrah for Bartleby doing better!
Maria, stewing in your own juices is sometimes the thing that has to be done.

Good, continuing healing, recovering, and coping ~ma going out far and wide tonight -- Omnis' dad & family, Maria & family, Steph's bro & family & co-workers, and Bonny & Barlteby. But, really, far and wide, and all-encompassing.
Happy, Happy Birthday, Jilli!!
