November 2006 is when I first posted. And there is a typo in it. ::sigh:: Six and a half years.
'Same Time, Same Place'
Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[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.
Bonny, what everyone else has already said. She's a pitiful example of a friend, if she couldn't see what you had done for her dog, and what sort of shape you're in. I'm so sorry. You deserve so much better than this. Poor Cagney. Is there anyone you can call in the morning to help you give him a bath? Or bathe him for you? If I was within 100 miles... well, I'm not. But I wish I was. And I'm sending you all the positive energy and good, fast healing thoughts I can.
I'm a dinosaur. I go all the way back to the motherthread on TableTalk. June 2, 99. (It's in my preferences. My memory's not that good)
Aims, I've been the beneficiary of Buffista love and spirit, and it is amazing.
I delurked in 2001, but had lurked on TT before the WX migration.
Good times.
ridiculous , bonny.
I know it was season two - but I had to read all the threads on TT before I could say anything...
I definitely first joined the thread on TT but I don't recall when it was. Probably 2000 or 2001. I do recall getting grilled--nicely!--by msbelle.
I'm way behind!
Aims, my senior year in college my tuition was raised between semesters. My mom's oldest friend, my Aunt Connie, cut me a check. I'd been putting myself through school. Hell, I'm STILL paying for school. It was the difference between my life being upended and not. It was the difference between having family with money and not. Connie's only condition was that I do likewise when I could. I'm not the only one here with an Aunt Connie story. We're all carrying a debt like this and I'm certainly not clearing mine with what I'm chipping in... but maybe its a debt we never "clear". Maybe it's an honor to carry it. Maybe it's a trust. Maybe you get to pay it back forever as much as you can.
...but maybe its a debt we never "clear". Maybe it's an honor to carry it. Maybe it's a trust. Maybe you get to pay it back forever as much as you can.
Frame-worthy.
bonny,
(late to the party, I was traveling and then had dinner and had to do my hair!)
fuck this shit. I want you to sue. I want you to be on people's court and I want you to get pain and suffering. I want vengeance and justice.
hugs and support no matter what you decide, but know I'm pissed on your behalf. your friend is getting West Coast angry vibes and the shaking of fists.
...but maybe its a debt we never "clear". Maybe it's an honor to carry it. Maybe it's a trust. Maybe you get to pay it back forever as much as you can.
Yep, this.
Bonny, I'm sorry you were hurt. While you're clearly this woman's friend, in afraid she's not yours. Do you know a lawyer you can consult with?
... I want you to sue. I want you to be on people's court and I want you to get pain and suffering...
I know the Judge Judy show pays the settlements ordered, possibly deducting it from appearence fees. I want want bonny's "friend" to actually pay. I hope she grows a conscience by morning and does the right thing of her own accord, but if not, then an ordinary court gets my vote. Which of course counts for nothing against whatever way bonny wants to handle this.
ETA: bonny, you should know that Sammie has been sitting on the table snuggled up to my iPad as I was typing this, purring her special gentle purr. Usually when she jumps up on the table it is to sample whatever wires she thinks I'm not paying attention to, so this is pretty usual. So I'm forwarding her healing vibes to you. I hope you feel that as warmth and love.
