Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

[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.

Thin mints:

And of course I found this out when I was 2-1/2 hours away on the other side of the state visiting with my mom and siblings. Had to cheerily say I had to get back for work stuff and to prepare for superbowl party. At 9am this morning. They didn't seem to doubt my story for my early departure. I had gone over at noon yesterday so they just figured I didn't want to drive back at night and just stayed over till morning. Can't burden Mom with this stuff.

Not really a lot to be said or done. This is one place I can let some of it out.

Compassionately intolerant

Oh Laura. I wish I could sit with you and just listen. Or hug as is useful.

If having someone on the other end of the phone, with no agenda or need to comment, please know I am always here.

Bless you for knowing what you can and cannot do, it's so hard, but so, so necessary for everyone.

My heart goes out to you in every possible way.

Thank you. It really is helpful to know there is an ear and shoulder available.

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

Hang in there, Laura. Give Brendon my love as well.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, Laura. What a terrible burden to stagger under. Endless, endless hugs and vibes, to you and Brendon and #1.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oh, Laura, he's breaking my heart. I can't even imagine what it's like for you and Brendon.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm so sorry, Laura.
