I remember being so glad for you as your relationship with Biyi developed, after all the unhappiness you had had before, bt.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

[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.

The status is NOT quo.
I can't believe it took you ten years to tell us how lunch went.
HA! This made me LOL for reals.

Ann, that's a ferret.
"We met at nine."
"We met at eight."
"I was on time."
"No, you were late."
"Ah yes, I remember it well."
Happy Anniversary!
Also, Happy Anniversary to meara's parents!

erika, Oreo makes a cookie that's chocolate coated with mint filling. I can only decribe it as being the love child of a Thin Mint and a Peppermint Patty. Take your cookie consumption to the next level!

BT, 10 years? That's wonderful. I'm so happy for you.
It turns out I don't have a uti. So no idea why I'm feeling so lousy.

Over on Ravelry, there's a group for New Widows. They were a tremendous help and comfort to me for the first few months. I unjoined the group just now. I can still look them up and post if I want to, but it doesn't serve the same purpose to have them on my primary dashboard. I'm very grateful to them, but life evolves.

It seems odd to say 'congratulations' Connie, but I am glad for your evolution.

I feel a little sad. There are several women on that board who have been widows for much longer than I, and they're still bound up in their loss, still finding it so very difficult to recreate their lives. I'm still smacked sideways with grief, I don't suppose I'll ever be past that, but I'm not consumed with daily sadness. I wish I could share with some of my sad sisterhood how to do it.
