Welcome to the world, Negasi! Congratulations on the new nephew, Laura!
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

[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.

Congratulations, Laura!

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Bonnie, you might mention that if you hear she is spreading this false rumor, you will consult with an attorney with expertise in the law of libel and slander and take whatever action she advises. (Note that this phrasing is not the same as saying you will sue - just a warning that your good name is of value to you and that you will defend it.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Blessings on the new baby!!
I am cranky. Joe ate my leftovers from last night, thinking they were his. His leftovers were three bites left of his hoagie. Mine was a 6" hoagie and curly fries. I yelled probably more than was necessary, but he does this shit to me all. the. time. So now I'm not eating dinner to make him feel guilty which is *totally* cutting off my nose yadda yadda yadda, but there was another SNAFU with school and it was hot and we have a wedding to go to tomorrow and I had to get that stuff ready and I wanted my hoagie and fries and now I have nothing and there is no food in the house save cheese popcorn and Laffy Taffy and I'm pissed off, hungry, and have a headache because I'm being a brat and not eating.

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.
Hurrah, Negasi! May you hold your head up surrounded always by love. May you love learning, knowledge and wisdom. May you live to see the hunger of those who most crave justice and mercy satisfied.

Aims, I'm sorry you are having a rough time today.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Which is emphatically not the same as "tee hee, I'm so BAD at math!"
But it's hard!

Our wings are not tired.
{{Aims}} Oh my. There is plenty of reason to be pouty, but I'm thinking cheese popcorn might help. (it would help me)
Negasi is a blessed baby. His parents are both born nurturers. Get this, his dad has already turned a portion of the back yard into a garden because he has to grow food for his child to be sure he has only organic food available. Honestly, he is the reason SIL has a child after 12 years of marriage. She never had a regular cycle and had many issues. He studied extensively what might help with diet, etc. He has always done the cooking (they are vegetarian), but he prepared all kinds of natural brews, massaged her every day and so forth. They really worked for this.

Compassionately intolerant
What a blessing to even know people like these exist.
May their lives be peaceful and prosperous.
