Ugh bonny, sounds like there are other issues already playing out in that household. But good on him for hearing you.
Nice acronym, Mom!

[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.

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

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.
Yeah, that's a tough one for her family. I hope the husband is able to encourage her to steer clear of you, bonny.
Ryan is a handsome young man. Ford is a beautiful little boy. Happy birthday to both.

Compassionately intolerant
If she really does have some disorder, I don't know that there is anything anyone can do, but I'm hoping that his knowing will not make it even bigger in her head.
My struggle is to not fret about another shoe dropping.
Urgh.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Thanks, everyone! We have a happy little boy now in possession of swag and a banana cake.
His father is less happy, as I arrived home to discover that my dad (or more precisely, his wife) had sent Ryan a birthday present. No note, no card, no explanation. He's made no contact and sent no communication since I returned the Christmas present. I just don't know what the hell is even going through his mind at this point.
More pleasantly, Ryan got a birthday balloon from the teacher today, and everyone at chapel wished him a happy birthday. He's a bit of an attention hound, is this boy.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry bt, that is difficult. May the giggling happiness of the birthday boy sooth and comfort.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Is Jilli still looking for work? [link]

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
bt, belated Happy Birthday to Ryan! What a spectacular person he's becoming.
And I'm sorry about the urky family stuff. Been there, it's difficult, I know. But take heart in your terrific little guy and how great his worldview is--you and Biyi did that.

I am still looking for work, but I have no experience working with cart software. USING cart software, yes, that's shopping. But the back end? Sadly, no.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Don't sell yourself short, Jilli -- they're not talking about programming cart software, they're talking about posting new items, which (without knowing the details of whatever they use) is like posting a blog post compared to reading one.
(Also noting the interesting fact that women tend not to apply for jobs unless they feel fully qualified for every bullet point, whereas men tend to apply if they're vaguely in the neighborhood of any of them.)
