The cutest kitty!
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

[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.
Windsparrow, how are you doing?
I'm wiped out enough that when I bumped into coworkers at the store, I actually told the truth when they asked how I was. I'm exhausted and worried (less now than I was before I saw Daniel). Thank you all for your support. It means a thing.
The food at the hospital back in Casa Grande was definitely better than average. And the place I was at in January was decent. I remember their soup fondly, and once I figured out that I could tick off more than one item in each category on the request list for each meal, I was much happier with the amount of veggies I got. This hospital where Daniel is has done away with offering people choices. And they keep sending him coffee - not good, because he won't drink it, and the smell of it is making him nauseated.

The cutest kitty!
Totally!
And I meant to say earlier, my condolences to Epic, and lots of ~ma for Daniel & WindSparrow.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Scrappy, yeah.
Dan's first birthday gift to me was awesome - it was an iTouch - but he had a touch more income at that point.
We "bought" each other a Nook Color this year (one to share) but honestly, that was paid for with bday money his mom sent us, and we probably should have spent it on bills.
But we do love it muchly, and use it all the time.
I buy 80% of Dan's gifts from ThinkGeek.com, and circle stuff I'd like from the catalog for him, and send him links to stuff I'd like for Xmas.
Sure, I'd love for him to spontaneously pick out something perfect for me that I hadn't thought of, but oh, well. He's awesome in so many other ways.
And I LOVE ThinkGeek! WIN!

Once again, Scrappy is wise.
Hubby says the biggest problem with male/female communications is that women think men are smarter than they are. There are no secret meanings, they're very linear thinkers on the whole.
Ah, but see, I date women. It's all very complex, trying to understand one another...:)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What does not being smart have to do with being a linear thinker? It's not smart if your convoluted thinking gets you the wrong answer.

And, as usual, I end up on the "male brain" side of this one. It always confuses me when people try to figure out what I "really meant" by what I said or did. If I'd wanted to say something, I would have said it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Wallybee is like this too, which occasionally caused problems for her. Directness is not a trait particularly valued in Chinese culture.

Speaking of gifts, I am currently baking birthday brownies for TCG and then I am going to wrap his gifts. The poor guy has a late meeting on his birthday.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I know we struggled with hospital meals for my mom.
They kept sending my mom chocolate desserts, despite the big sign in her chart that said "allergic to chocolate". And mom, being by that time totally out of it, would eat it and... oh dear.
