My life was much easier once Brendon learned to read on his own. He would sit quietly in my lap as long as I read to him, but once he had it down well enough on his own (at 4!) he was easy because he would read for long stretches of time. Still does. Alas, Bobby never was into it and still isn't.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

[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.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Best wishes for your daughter, Gud.

Oh no, Gud! How awful. I hope she recovers and is able to get help :(
On a separate less somber note (but still made my eyes well up a bit) is this article from slate on cleaning up after flooding--the part about not gossiping because it might be someone's cousin's BFF made me laugh and think of the lesbian gossip train also
ETA: ok weird. That link is not the one I wanted and now the story isn't anywhere I can find on slate! Wtf?

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.
Well, meara, that was still an interesting read... 66 Things I am Afraid Will Go Wrong for Hillary Clinton During the Debates. The one about her coming onto stage wearing a ghostbusters costume was delighful.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Holy shit, Gud! I'm so sorry to hear this news.
I hope she's okay.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Thinking of you and your family, Gud. It's a devastating thing to love someone and not be able to take away their pain.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Gud, I'm so sorry. Wishing strength and help for your daughter and the rest of your family..

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I think this stupid debate is giving me an anxiety attack.
