Of course, if your boss turns out to be a serial killer, and this is his way of getting you away from everyone so he can do nefarious things, I'm sorry in advance about my encouragement.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

[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.

If my boss is a serial killer, I will be super-impressed with her time management skills in being able to fit that into her schedule. And possibly ask for tips.

Dude, your boss likes Cupcake Royale. You're totally not a slacker who is getting told off over booze.

Our wings are not tired.
Jilli, may your meeting be more pleasant than anticipated.
In my most hellish stress filled week, today's joy is a morning meeting where we expect to have our largest source of funding pulled out from under us. No doubt it will be bad, we just don't know how bad.
Then I will likely dash cross state and check out my mother's status again. It is hard to tell her condition over the phone, except to know it is not well.
Just too much happening from at least 6 directions. So overwhelmed. Bank drama worse than ever, co-worker dying while we watch helplessly, usual varieties of 18 and 21 year old kid drama, business drama, elderly parent drama.
On a more positive note, both DH and I are seriously dieting out of a desire to have control over at least something in our lives. Love my new diet still while he is doing the Atkins thing again.

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.
Laura, that is wayyyyyy too much stress. I wish things clear up and get better soon for you.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
{{{Laura}}} Your strength amazes me.

Laura,
truth be told, after reading your post, I want to go back to bed! Good luck today. I hope the funding stuff is the best of a bad situation.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
~ma for your meeting, Jilli.
Laura, that is way too much. I wish you all kind of coping~ma, but more importantly that the universe rent an apartment at least a few blocks off your ass, as Greg Proops might say.
bonny, I saw what I assume is an account by one of your neighbors about the eviction of your other neighbor. It was interesting to read, knowing another perspective.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh Laura, that's too much. You seem to take it in amazing stride.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Laura, you're my hero. You and B are also in my thoughts--all good to you.
Jilli, may the meeting go excellently well.
The rest of you, massive hugs, whether you need them or not.
