You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

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.

Thinking of you and your mom, Shir. I hope you get some answers and treatment soon.

Thanks for the support, guys. It helps me support him. I think the thing that's hardest for him is that it just pops up unannounced and unanticipated and clobbers him - doing the dishes, out for a beer, while at work, before going to sleep... it's just tough going.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Losing one's hearing is very unnerving. I lost mine for a day after going to a very loud party once. Luckily I started getting it back within a short time after waking, but it was a while before the muffling stopped and cleared up.

I would put losing hearing in my top three body trauma fears (eyes being number one, ears and limbs battle for second).

Sending a lot of hearing~ma to your mom.

Oh my god, SO ITCHY. I know it's been less than 24 hours since I started the new drugs, but I am so miserable. I think I'm going to call the doctor and beg for steroids. My face is so hot and itchy and my eyelids are puffy and my lips hurt. That isn't right. I don't think a double dose of claritin and pepcid is going to help.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Nora, let me know if there's anything I can do.

Steph, IANAD but steroids sound called for.

~ma, Shir.

Need to channel my inner Vortex. Waiting for former slumlord at old place. Going to ask for $$ for water bills in addition to full security deposit.

Did not go as I had hoped. Turned into he said she said. Got $500 of a $1000 deposit and nothing for the water. At least I never have to talk to that douchenozzle again. Now to try and get money from ex-roomie. Do y'all think $40 reasonable to charge since she didn't help me clean?

Yeah, it is. I'm so sorry that he's going through it, but so glad that he has you there to love him and support him through it. I know it's hard on you too, though, and I'm sorry for that. Basically, lots of love to the two of you.

smonster, is the $40 solely for not helping you clean, or are you trying to get money for bills and other stuff too? $40 doesn't sound unreasonable for your time and effort, but I also don't know that I'd have the guts to ask for it, especially if it wasn't in the context of other money owed as well, if that makes sense.

Yes, but you'll never get it.

Compassionately intolerant

It cannot hurt to ask, though.

You saved her a ton of time and effort.

Prednisone called in to the pharmacy. Impending Hulk rage FTW!

She owes me for water and all the final bills, which I don't have yet.
