I just skipped almost 400 posts because I was so eager to come here and wish you wonderful people happy holidays, but now I see it's not so happy to some of you. Oh, my 'istas. My brackets and ~mas to you. Wherever you are, whoever you are, and with whomever you are - I hope 2014 will be so much easier, kinder, and healthier to you and yours. I love you very much.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

[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.

The status is NOT quo.
We slept in this morning and are about to venture back to the house. This is always a hard time, but tomorrow we fly to Florida to spend a week with my dad, and I'm really excited about that.
Sean, I hope you figure something out with the apartment. We haven't spoken up here because of course we know your roommate well and feel very awkward about being in the middle of that situation. I am wishing you a good solution.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Sean, I'm so sorry. Tons of ~ma headed your way.
Pix and ND, I'm so sorry. ~ma all around.

That sucks, Sean! I hope some kind of (pleasant) resolution comes. I can completely sympathize with that big knot of dread you probably are feeling in the pit of your stomach (mine still hasn't completely gone away from the events of this year).

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.
I cling to Shir's good wishes for all of us as to a life raft in a stormy sea.

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.
Brackets to Sean and Pix and ND and everyone else. My serious holiday wish is the last line of a favorite science fiction novel: "Enough for everybody, and nobody gets hurt".

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, Sean. So shitty.
Virtual hugs to all who want and need them.
I'm at my parents'. It's been pretty lovely so far. We've got the gas fire on and are listening to Nat King Cole and drinking tea. I only wish I could share it with y'all.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Much ~ma to all who need it!
We're having a quiet holiday, me and my sis and my nieces and two small dogs. There has been no drama, thankfully. Maybe the drama diva is over all that. Right now we're watching HGTV while dinner finishes cooking.

"Enough for everybody, and nobody gets hurt".
Ima echo Typo here.
The best of everything to everyone!
It's an off kilter holiday for me...I'm listening to Christmas music on all reggae style and making bone broth in the crock pot.
The last two days, it has been in the high 60s and raining. Today, it was blowing snow showers a few minutes ago and now the sun is out.
What??

I switched to 'dance' Christmas music and just listened to an electronica version of Oh Danny Boy. Somehow I think the beat master missed the meaning of that particular ditty.
