Good news, Callaluna.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

[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.

Our wings are not tired.
Great to hear, Callaluna. Continued ~ma.
We may have a solution for the eldest. You know how when we were kids there was always the "cool" aunt and uncle, or neighbor; they were a zillion times more awesome than the parental units. Well, his aunt and uncle are super cool. Rastafarian with hair below their butts. Also super loving and responsible and are ready willing and able to take him in and guide him to a better path. They have a toddler, but he is really good with kids so that is fine. Not sure how he will deal with the vegetarian food. S is a wonderful cook. He makes all kinds of great island food, and natural fruit wines! He also has a strict meditation schedule and feels strongly that he can help him find his way.
It is a loving and safe place for him. S also has an extensive library and can discuss at length any subject, both of which will appeal to my son. The only thing I want to get is a time commitment from him. They are in Fort Lauderdale so it is too easy for him to walk a couple blocks to a bus line and be outta there.
Feeling more hopeful anyway.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
See? Your loving heart and loving family will see him through.

Laura, that sounds really right. Sending positive vibes to the universe for that.

I hope he agrees to try it!

I hope that works Laura.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
That sounds amazing, Laura. All best thoughts that it works for him. And deep gratitude for his aunt and uncle.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I kind of want to live with them! That does sound like a good situation, Laura. I hope the change does him some good and gets him to look around and figure out what's next (other than video games).

My black kitty Java is into kidney disease, and I've got to get ringers solution, drip lines, and syringes and start doing the subcutaneous fluids thing with him.
I did this with my sweet Josie for years. It got to be second nature for both of us, though I remember being freaked out a bit at first. I hope it's smooth sailing for you and Java!
Laura, that sounds like a great plan! I hope it does the trick.

Thrive to spite them
Today is like a Monday. I thought I was running late. My pants had a rip in them framed out I'd tossed the other pair of black pants I have. I didn't. My car doordoors were frozen shut. That took time. Got to work discovered I'd read the schedule wrong and was a hhalf hour ealry.
Around 10:30 I felt pain. Huh I thought are those cramps? Yes yes they are. Now I keep spacing out and forgetting things and I have cramps and it's slow at work so this day is crawling along.
Blergh.
