Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

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.

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.

Frankenbuddha, much ~ma for your mom.

France! Have fun storming the castles!

It's 9 am and I am already ready for a nap.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

meara, I'm in a waiting period until Dec 1st, and my new plan doesn't offer vision or dental.

Holy crap, a three month waiting period for benefits? That SUCKS.

Stephanie, I saw your FB post. Hope it is OK for you.

Today: meet with NA officers (check), get cat food (check) got get a massage, return Lands End stuff to Sears, go to Old New Orleans Rum distillery (Tom is low on rum, which is a TRAVESTY), and maaaaaybe go to City Park for the LASPCA beer fundraising event New Orleans on Tap, Then some vegetarian food at someone's house.

Trust my rage

Thanks, Nora. It's sort of weird - "I'm sorry" is the appropriate response, I think, when someone mentions a pending divorce, but I really don't feel loss at the moment. That was months ago.

But if people wanted to send ~ma, i got an email from Joe that might possibly, maybe represent a change in direction from the rather ugly ways things had been headed. So, any "step away from the brink" vibes that could be sent Iraq-ward would be very appreciated.

Thrive to spite them

Sending ~ma your way Stephanie.

Compassionately intolerant

Stephanie, I so hope the change of direction is much, much for the better. ~ma headed your way.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Much hopes for less bitter.

Frankenbudda, I'm glad your mom's doing better.

Thanks, y'all. Amyth's loads of fun to travel with, as are the other people in the group.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Much, much ~ma to you, Stephanie. (Also, I owe you an email!)

Today I have gone on two separate errand runs in which I procured bagels, gas for the car, cash for me, a set of spare keys, one maternity shirt, two non-maternity dresses that I hope will still look and feel OK with a growing belly, a burrito, and a 34-lb bag of cat litter. That's more than I've done in at least the past three weeks. And now I nap.

Improvement~ma for your mother, Frank.

Easing-tension~ma for you, Stephanie.

I have got nothing done today that I meant to do. I'm being held hostage by tumblr. I'm already following 41 people and I just joined yesterday.
