Yeah, it's time I got back on medication train, myself. At the very least, ADHD meds. I'll probably need a shrink for the head meds.
Things are Capital B Bad.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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.

but have to admit that my friends and I are lending things to one another (though, not corsets - books and such) for years without asking them back. I'm pretty sure I lost few books along the way like that, but I don't really care about these things - unless I specifically asked back for them.
And if I had said to her "Take it, keep it, I don't care when you get it back to me, or even if you keep it for a long time," then my complaint would be ridiculous and hypocritical. But I didn't. It was loaned for a specific event that lasted only one weekend, with the understanding that it would be returned to me afterward.
I understand your attitude of relaxed loan/giving to friends without the expectation of the item being returned, and it's great that that works for you and your friends.
That's not the circumstances or expectations under which I loaned this corset, though.

Oh, absolutely - I never meant to imply that this is the situation between you and your friend. Sorry if I wrote it like this.

And also, Aims, I'm glad you're taking care of yourself.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Aw, Sox, that's great about your students. You're so influential!

Yes, that.

My PCP wants me to see my oncologist because of the freaky blood tests. Excuse me while I panic.

it's kind of an intimate thing to borrow. Expensive, too, right?

Freaky, how? t edit Ginger, sorry; I don't mean to pry, and you don't need to share. My instinct is to try to alleviate panic by looking at the facts, which is why I asked.
Can we help alleviate panic in any way for you?

Well, they're generally worn as outerwear, over a dress/blouse/shirt, pretty much like I've seen Buffistas do. It's red and black vinyl, off-the-rack (not custom-made to my measurements), which makes it much more affordable than a custom-made one: [link] (Some day I'll get a custom made one, but it's like a second tattoo: I can't decide what I want it to look like.)
But even so, I still want it back. I'd want a sweater back. I like my stuff to be with me.
I will *not* lend out the flamey one, because it was much more expensive even though it's also off-the-rack, because it's an overbust and it's all leather. Also I love it to pieces and don't want it out of my sight.
