Shir,
I'm glad to hear that. I know you both were worried. How is your mother feeling, tho?

[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.

Glad to hear it, Shir. Hope you get some answers, soon.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
That's fantastic, Shir! Hoping for a quick diagnosis of whatever it is.

I'm so sorry Scrappy, for you and J.
And askye, how awful! Much ~ma to your brother and nephew.

Thrive to spite them
I talked to my brother this morning. He's hanging in there and he told my nephew but he's not sure how much he understood.
He sounded, well, like he'd said the same things over and over so I just changed the subject and asked him about school. He went back to school to finish his degree and he's taking 18 hours this semester. Luckily some of the classes are required courses that he'd actually taken in another form elsewhere (or has some real world experience) so he said the course load isn't as bad as it sounds. And one class he's kind of a teaching assistant but not technically a TA.

Because books.
askye, I'm so sorry. All kinds of ~ma to your family, especially your brother and his son.

That's great, Shir. I hope they can get a handle on it soon.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, askye, I am so very sorry. I know how dearly you love your brother and your nephew and how upsetting just coping with the separation was for the whole family. Your ex-SIL must have been in such unfathomable pain for death to seem like her only option. Wishing so much strength and healing and support to all your family.
