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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Sj, so happy for you! I already liked your sellers when I saw the "Keep calm and carry on" poster on the wall.

We complimented him on that last night. We bought "Keep calm and carry on" mugs on our UK honeymoon, so it was a fitting thing to see when we first walked in.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

So I just talked to an attorney about handling Rob's estate. It hurt more than I expected it to. I'd really like this to stop.

I don't think it does stop, Maria. I think it just hurts a little less.

I'm just floored at all the ways that things/actions/moments that used to have no meaning are suddenly fraught with emotion and weight. It's like being blindsided multiple times a day.

The weight of everything is what's surprised me the most.

And I can't listen to music. Too many landmines. It's too quiet now. The TV is always on when I'm at home, and news radio in the car, but I miss listening to music.

(((Maria))) I'm so sorry that you're in so much pain.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sending much ~ma to GC for good results, and many hugs to Maria.

Not to continue to be all memememe....

You all knew we had problems--ones that were big enough to seriously consider going our separate ways. We both made so many mistakes and held so many grudges and fought the dirtiest way possible, but I've now realized that none of that mattered in the end. I wasted so much time being angry, and I'll regret that for the rest of my life.

You're human, Maria. And so is he. And neither of you could see the future. I'm so sorry that this adds to your pain.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Oh Maria. I’m so sorry, friend.

Java – They sound fun! We have been so lucky being in the LA-area to meet lots of two mom families with babies our guy’s age. I said to DW, “Who knew that you had to have a kid to meet the lovely ladies in your neighborhood?”

Thanks for all the good thoughts. I’m feeling much better after my doctor visit. He said the odds are low that it is cancerous, and even if it is is, it is usually resolved by removing the thyroid. He really put me at ease and I’m feeling much less stress around it. Now I just wait for 3/15 to get the thing biopsied. Can’t believe that was the first available! Argh!
