Spike ,'Never Leave Me'
[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.
Em doesn't have to leave her school
Another notch in the Worst Parents Ever: She's switching schools this fall and is Not Pleased.
JZ, that is an excellent idea. I put a call for prayer out to the prayer partners last week. I'll write something up for the all-church email in the next couple of days.
Heart attack. "Right lower thingie was 90% clogged". Stint put in. Then a blood clot. But all is good now, and he is home. And drinking beers. @@ So he's going to quit smoking.
oh omnis! I'm glad he is home. but damn.
Yowza, omnis! I'm glad he's okay and at home, but yowza!
Yikes, omnis. I'm glad he is alright, but how scary.
Yipes omnis! Glad he's home now.
Scary, omnis. Glad he's home.
Omnis, I'm glad that your brother's news was as good as it was for something as bad as a heart attack.
Aims, I am relieved to see that the persona non grata thing was a misunderstanding; I was wracking my brain trying to think of who might have said anything to make you feel like you were not wanted here, and who clearly needed some things explained to them. Now, dictionaries might be the solution to more than one issue here, so to speak. I mean, I'm sure more than one of us have a nice solid unabridged that is collecting dust since it got so easy to look up words on the internet and/or dictionary apps. And I have this image in my head of many Buffistas gathering from near and far bringing their enormous tomes and stacking them like blocks of ice or perhaps like bales of hay to build you a warm, safe, and learned home. Well, the image is now the form of the ~ma I am sending for you and MM and Em.
And some eye roll at my sister for her definition of "all is ok".
Aims, I am so sorry. I have complete empathy; we've been through house hell (eviction very real) and it's awful. Broke, too, and it's SO STRESSFUL. It just sucks. I feel so bad for you guys. And on your anniversary? Honey, that...I don't even. So not fair.
I second the camping out in the backyard. Use that firepit! Not all these ideas are feasible, but [link]
It SUCKS that you have to decide between money or this planned trip, but I would have to say you will need the money. And it's so frustrating.
I'm so sorry. I wish I could do something.
omnis, I am glad that things went as well as they could. Someone sent me such a vague message about a family member, I would freak and go all phone-crazy.
