Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

[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.

I'm sorry, Tep.

I know I can't help, but I wish I could. I hope the therapist you find is a good one who can, though.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Steph, if you want some company for coffee or dinner or something, let me know. (Or if being around people would be too much, I totally get that, too.)

Thanks so much for the offer, but I haven't even gotten out of my jammies today. I have gotten some work done, and I have done the dishes, so I feel like I didn't waste the entire day. I keep trying to convince myself to at least walk to the corner and back (which is 1/2 mile round trip). But I would have to change to do that.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Online dating continues to be confusing. Why do people who live on other continents send me messages? Why do people click "like" on my profile, but then not respond when I send them a message? Why can I not find a photo that works? If I put up a photo that shows my body (in shorts and a tank top, not like a bikini or anything, and it's a really cute picture, I think), then I get all kinds of gross messages about my breasts, but if I put up a photo that just shows my face, then no one responds to any messages I send.

What is even happening?

Hey Tep, Scott & I were both diagnosed with costochondritis in our 30s. Apparently, it's a thing.

Take a deep breath. You are at a good place in your life. Your boy loves carrots.

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.

Cindy, I'm saying a prayer for your father-in-law and for your whole family, too.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Sendig out the strength to you, Steph.

I do not need to argue with my neighbor on fb. I pointed out that the man cutting selfie sticks ( and smashing phones) was doing vandalism. I even suggested that he was at the felony level.

That is all I can do Some people will remain wrong on the internet

Our wings are not tired.

Cindy, your FIL and family are in my thoughts and prayers. We hear a lot more success stories these days and I hope he has good treatments options.
