Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

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.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Thanks, all. Mom will probably have a CT scan instead.

Funny story: I went to The Girl father's shiva today, to see her and Seska. Apparently Seska, who never attended a shiva before, didn't understand why was texting and emailing her that if she wants to leave or help getting out of there for a while at any time, I'm there. She thought it was a bit rude.

When I met her today, she completely understood why I sent her all of these text messages. Poor thing. Shiva's are rough.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My mother called. They're putting my grandmother into hospice.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

That was really nice of you, Shir.

Dana, I'm sorry about your grandmother. Much -ma to you and your family.

Connie, that is horrible for your housemate. God.

erika, just bring a large text of forensic criminology photos with you, and enthusiastically describe crime scenes! It'll be Fun Fam Bonding! Or will encourage a healthy fear...maybe at least get you out of there sooner?

Dana, I'm so sorry, Much ~ma for your family.

Shir, test~ma for your mother.

Mom made manicotti for dinner. Nom nom nom.

I'm so sorry, Dana. I'm glad you were able to come out over the holidays to spend some time with her, at least.

So sorry about your housemate, Connie. How awful.

Hope it goes as well as can be expected tonight, erika.

Dana, I'm so sorry. Lots of ~ma for your family.

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

I'm sorry, Dana.
