A good friend of mine, a British expat who is a small business owner but who is doing very nicely for himself, and is CONSTANTLY going off on week-long jaunts to the islands, golf trips, weekends in Vegas - I mean really ALL the time, to the point that I wonder how his business partner stands it - is crowing about Trump today because apparently having to provide insurance for his employees is the WORST THING EVER and will destroy him and this country. I am spitting nails. But his employees, especially his minority and GLBT employees are his "top priority". Until preserving their rights and health costs him a weekend in Palm Springs, apparently.
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

[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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I stress-ate all the sugar in the world last night.
That's pretty much all I got right now. No spoons.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Congrats on staying sober last night, Strix. God knows I headed straight for the Ambien.

Thanks, Dana. I'm sincerely great with people who could use medications wisely last night and in the foreseeable future. But if I'd had anything like that handy, I can't say I wouldn't have stumbled last night. I legit am wondering how many people fell off the wagon last night or today.
But I'm less numb and uncaring and wrought today. Just a little, but enough. HI CANDY AND CHIPS! YOU'RE STILL MY FREINDS!

Good for you, Strix!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Seriously, kudos. I have been chain smoking like a mofo today.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
In awe of you, Strix. You're one of two people I know with that struggle who stayed sober; I can't imagine the strength it took.

Seriously, Strix, that is fangoddamntastic. I hadn't taken Ambien in maybe 18 months, but I also hadn't thrown out the remainder of my Rx, so I took one last night. Otherwise I wouldn't have slept a wink.

My brother stayed sober last night, but then he voted for Johnson, so he didn't have the kind of reaction we all did.

ION, Liese is in town, and she and Hil met me and Tim for dinner (flea works Wednesday nights, so she couldn't make it) and then Liese came to my improv performance (Hil was super tired and went home, which I was actually jealous of, because I only got about 5 hours of sleep last night). It was fantastic to see her, and I'm so flattered she came to our performance.
