BuffyBot ,'Dirty Girls'
[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, if I had the funds I'd send your neighbor a rose plant. Weekly.
Bless you aurelia.
I wonder if it would make her happy, or a twitchy mass in the corner. I'm going to guess the latter.
At this point, I'm just hoping it's over and that she turns her _difficulties_ elsewhere.
The problem is that I will see her regularly...being neighbors and all. I need to rehearse what I will say to her if she speaks to me.
Connie, tons of ~ma to you and hubby. So glad things are going better with his daughter.
And I am notoriously squeamish about durable medical devices that breach the skin.I've been there, and agree with you 100%. If I may suggest (and please understand, I deal with bad/stress/crap things with humor, sometimes dark, so please don't be offended). If you two are sci-fi type fans, especially Star Trek Next Generataion fans, maybe joke with hubby, and come up with a Borg name. Give him a set of glasses with a red laser on it, or something. When he goes in for treatment, and is connected via the device, joke that he's tapping into the hive.
It's been my experience with medical crap, that if you can joke about it, it makes it less scarey/painful. Y'all might be different. Hopefully, I'm not overstepping here.
Oh steph, that's exactly that kind of nickname. As in, as exact grammatically-slangish one-syllable nickname can get in the Hebrew version of it.
Thanks to you and Nora, I'm reassured about my initial ragey reaction.
I need to finish some paperwork for a work application, due tomorrow (I'm looking for a job in Jerusalem). Government paperwork is no fun and needs to stop and I'm already tired of it.
Connie, all kinds of good thoughts and well wishes headed your way. This is a stressful time. We are here for whatever you need.
Hey Todd, insent.
It's been my experience with medical crap, that if you can joke about it, it makes it less scarey/painful.
His preferred joke is to say that now he has had a port put in, he is now a harbor. I think I'm going to call him Harbormaster.
I keep reminding myself that this is short term. No one wants to leave that port in. I think. Hopefully the current discomfort is because it was just put in.
No, Tep, I agree. You give that name because you want someone to use it.(And for the record, that's why my name has no overt nickname) I think that I do call you Stepanie-from_Ohio to my mom, because I know a lot of Stephs and "Teppy" sounds Gatsby-ish or something.
I get snippy with people who nickname me. Only my friends call me Liz. Nobody calls me Beth. You only get to call me Lizzie if we've slept together at least twice. It's Elizabeth. If you don't like saying all those syllables, you can call me Ma'am.
I refuse to answer to Sue. My given game is Susan, pronounced Sus-san. I know people struggle with that so I've come to prefer Suzi. If you absolutely MUST shorten that, we better be friends and not acquaintances and you MUST include the z, pronounced Sooooz.
I have < 0 motivation today.
"What do people call you?"
"Susan."
"No, what do they scream when they see you coming? You know, 'Look out! Here comes--'"
"Susan."
"Suuu--ssaan. Wow, I scared myself."
