Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

[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!

WTH, Hil? And no one went to their supervisors to complain? I mean, I do understand why they don't want to clean it, I'd be grossed out too. I just don't get why they think it's someone else's job.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

No idea what's going on with that. Oh, and word is it wasn't a student -- it was "an accident." I don't know what that means.

Our wings are not tired.

Accident, yeah right.

He says that they know who it was, and it was an accident. No more details than that.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I hate myself a bit at the moment. I'm not worried about how this is going to upset him, I'm not thinking about them moving forward with the bone marrow pulls and his immune system disappearing, I'm just worried about my damned vacation. And having to deal with Kara, his daughter, who is willing to drive us up there and keep me company (cue standard rant about not wanting anyone nearby while I'm in a waiting room).

Anyone in your situation who says they've never felt like this? Is lying.

It's not the brave and stoic side. It's not pretty or flattering. But it's right there alongside. This is hard. For everyone.

Yes, Cass is right. It's just hard, so try to be forgiving with yourself.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

He's going for research, he's signed documents for that. That's actually a relief to me.
My mother has been talking about this of late. She's looking at it from the logical point of view. Funerals and burials cost money. And we have never had money to burn. To her, it seems like a win-win situation. We are worried my sister will flip her wig at the notion. When she visits in a few weeks, we will be talking about it, in hopes of convincing her now, while mom is healthy. But sister does not like talking about anything that deals with that topic. No sir-ee-bob. As if that will keep our parents alive forever.

I have to say, having had to deal with a burial, it is a huge help knowing that the plot has been purchased and knowing who to call when the time comes. She only paid for the plot, I still had to pay for the burial, but even so it was a relief.
