Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

Spike ,'Sleeper'


Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon 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.

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.

Daniel and I went to help his cousin Steve clean out Katherine's room at the nursing home. She was across the parking lot from the independent living apartments that Steve currently lives in, and in which Katherine had been living previously. There wasn't all that much stuff to haul over to Steve's place. But Steve has a couple of aquariums, one with murky water and some funky fish the color of gold fish but with giant bulbous heads, the other with guppies in it. Some of guppies have died and the water is black. There were three poor things still moving.

It stank.

Poor Daniel got to sit in Steve's apartment, mucking about on Steve's computer and Katherine's laptop, making it accessible to Steve, while Steve and I went back and forth getting Katherine's belongings.

I asked Steve if he wanted help cleaning out the guppies' aquarium. It might have made me hurl to clean it, but I don't want anyone who isn't a conservative Supreme Court Justice or current Speaker of the House to live like that. Steve said no, though. He needs to set up a different aquarium to put the guppies which are still alive in before he can dump the nasty one.

Is there any way that saying "Shut up, I don't give a goddamn fuck about you or your opinion" could actually shut down a mansplainer on Facebook?

Try a "Well, aren't you precious? Thank you for sharing. Bless your little heart."

Damn, the big guns.

Someone smiled at me once and said "Bless your heart," and she paled beautifully when I gave her a pointed look and said "Excuse me?"

If I say "bless your heart" in my normal Great Lakes/Rust Belt accent, I actually mean to wish blessings on someone. I'm channelling the neighbor from a couple doors down when I was growing up. If I say it and I sound like either Larry the Cable Guy or any of the Sugarbaker women... yeah... It's bad.

Connie, so much ~ma to you and your DH.

Super painful medication did NOTHING. So, I have to schedule a d&c next week.

Oh sj, I'm sorry. I had to do that after a miscarriage. I honestly don't remember much from the procedure itself. My main memory was in the recovery room, trying to convince the nurse that I could move my legs when the epidural was quite obviously still working.

My thoughts are with you.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Fortitude, sj. I'm so sorry it's necessary.
