Glad to hear it, Shir. Hope you get some answers, soon.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

[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.

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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Oh god, askye, I'm so sorry. That's horrible -- that it happened at all, that your nephew lost his mother, that your brother has to be the one to pick up the pieces and figure out how to handle it all. Wishing much strength and comfort to your brother, your ex-SIL's boyfriend, and especially your nephew.
Scrappy, my heart goes out to you as well.
And Shir, I'm glad to hear some good news about your mom! That must be a huge relief. I hope you all find some answers soon.
