I'm suddenly glad I'm indifferent-to-pleasant about Tim's ex-wife, since she lives at the top of our street. (I mean, I'd rather she had picked a different neighborhood to move to, or at least a different part of Northside, but we've crossed paths all of twice, and it's been pleasant both times, thank goodness.)

[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.

The status is NOT quo.
Whee! Congrats to Demitasse and family!
Strix, I would wish you luck, but that’s not what you need. You are prepared and ready. So instead I wish you the spirit of ita to give you that extra asskicking edge should you need it. I don’t know if I believe in an afterlife, but I’m certain ita would want her spirit to inspire us to kick more asses regardless.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
That, I'll take, gladly. But being a lawyer is dependent on research and eloquence and evidence; I've got that in spades.

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
When I first met Hubby, I strongly felt that if I were to find his ex-wife in the crosswalk in front of my car, I'd have to think very strongly about the state of my brakes.
Heh. Not long after our house burned and our landlord was abysmal to us (kept our deposit for vacating without notice, threatened to sue for the balance of the lease, etc.) I found myself behind him at the bank drive through. I put the car in park - I was seriously concerned that I might unconsciously hit the gas

Great news, Strix! No-hitch~ma on the rest of the process. And I'd hold her in place while you punch her.

Yay, Strix! I hope the rest of the process goes smoothly.

Thanks, all! I love you all so much!
Will hopefully have more news at end of day -- and I am REALLY sorry if I am boring/annoying people with this, but I CAN'T talk about it on FB and though I talk with friends, someone is here almost 24/7 and sometimes, I gotta vent.
Seriously, I have three pillars holding up my non-spiral into a flipping depresso/anxiety plummet through this whole house thing: yoga, meds and people. I think because of the yoga and you, and my fam, SH and meatspace friends, I am ABLE to take my meds responsibly and actually am FLOURISHING now, even though it's a real financial and stress mess.
HAIL BUFFISTAS!

The glucose test yesterday was bad. So, I have to go back for more tests. If I do end up having gestational diabetes, I can't imagine what I'm going to be able to eat and keep down.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Strix - maybe once we get both our house stuff settled, we can arrange a meet up. I wanna give you a big hug (unless you are a non-hugger, then we can just nod and smile at eachother).

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
sj, I'm sorry. I hope they can get it under control while allowing you to actually eat at the same time.
X-posted from Natter:
So I just finished signing the deed in lieu paperwork for the bank. The notary came to my house and we sat down at the dining room table and took care of business. BoA will have it back on Monday, and the last thing to do is schedule the walk-through to make sure the house is in broom-swept condition and I didn't take appliances or fixtures or otherwise damage it. I'm still not sure what day I will no longer have financial responsibility for the house in Frederick, but it's soon. I can't believe I made it here.
I'm not sure how I feel about all of this coming to an end. I thought I would feel relief, but right now I'm just sad. I loved that house, right up to the point where I couldn't anymore, and there's not a small bit of feeling like I failed because I didn't pay my debts as agreed. It's a jumble inside my head.
