I'm sorry Sail, I know how hard it is to lose a beloved pet.
We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
There's a realistic Harlequin title "No Time for Tempting."
With a split screen cover of StW in his habitual blue hoodie, but no t-shirt, in an exaggeratedly studious pose in front of a laptop; and me, passed out asleep as the clock shows 9 pm, seductive in skully long johns and surround by snoring pets.

Thrive to spite them
I meant to comment on this the other day because it was a positive customer experience.
A couple college girls came in and were buying t shirts or something. And we have these displays of rings for "impulse" (although I've never sold one) and one of the girls looked at them and asks her friend "Do you like these?"
Her friend says "no not really" and the first girl says "You're right they are gay."
I gritted my teeth and I really wanted to say something but I didn't.
Then her friend said "That's not really a good word to describe stuff." And the first girl was quiet for a minute and then said "Okay, these are.....silly" And her friend replied "yeah that's a good word."
I was so glad I overheard the exchange and I still wanted to say something positive but I didn't.
Of course there were also 2 college girls last night spending $60 each on random stuff and all the while saying they hadn't eaten fresh fruit or eaten healthy in awhile because it's too expensive.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm so sorry, Sail.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That's a great story, askye.
I had a funny moment with that at camp, where I said very firmly to two 12 year old boys, "We are not going to use that word as a pejorative this week at camp." And then I had to spend half an hour explaining what "pejorative" meant and the lesson was forgotten. But they didn't use it any more that week!

Thanks, all. I really appreciate your kind thoughts, they do help.

Hey, that's awesome Askye!
Walked down the hill from the house I'm renting and we had fish tacos in the main square, hit up a minimart for food for tomorrow morning, and then walked back up the hill, in the dark. So glad someone is with me--I was just tired and sweaty, not scared silly!

Man, we just had Relationship Argument #78: No, YOU Are Making The Bed Wrong. I'm a little ragey about crumpled sheets.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. But Angelina Jolie looks dreadful.
oops. Not Oscar thread.
