See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Jilli, that's excellent!

It just started pouring down rain here, and it's still so dark the porch light is on (it's on a light sensor, because I'm married to a mad scientist). I think that's the universe telling me to go back to bed. (However, the AMA would disagree. And I have really good iced coffee, so back to work for me.)

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.

Guess what I did today? I am entirely pain-free for the first time in ... I don't actually remember when. I've had some level of daily headache/migraine for years. This is really weird. Fantastic, but weird.

I got goosebumps reading this, it made me so happy.

Emmett called tonight and we had a long, lovely hour long talk. That mostly consisted of him telling me How Cool His Sister Is. He hasn't really been around since he's been at college so he kind of missed that whole thing where she was becoming a pre-teen. But he got a full dose of her awesomeness at camp and he was really smitten.

And that knocked me over into tears of joy. Such a beautiful sibling relationship.

As I recover from the dysfunction of my own family of origin, seeing happiness in other families is so healing for me.

Happy 21st, CJ!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Is "21 minis" 21 mini bottles of booze? Because that's AWESOME.

I win some sort of Uber-Nerd prize that I thought Lego mini figs until Steph said this, right? That's right, I thought Lego rather than booze for a 21 YEAR OLD's birthday! Let all lesser nerds bow before me!

Jilli, I'm so pleased for you! Hope this is a continuing trend.

Go alla y'all with your awesome therapizing selves! I am under the impression that I'm doing okay, pretty much, right now, so nobody disabuse me of that any time soon, m'kay?

Hugs to everyone (except those who don't want 'em). Morning, all!

Awww, Emmett. Yes, your sister is Very Cool.

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

Yay, Jilli! That's wonderful. I'm so glad you're pain free right now.

I love Emmett and Matilda's relationship. I remember how fraught it was for him at the beginning, and it's beautiful to see the evolution.

Hope the pain has subsided, Suzi. Please wish CJ a happy 21st from me!

I WOKE UP WITHOUT A HEADACHE!

I mean, mornings (even the late time I lurch out of bed at) are still vile, because my brain and body don't work like that, but I woke up, braced for the inevitable pain, and it wasn't there.

It is such a joy to read the news of a pain free Jilli! May the pain~free~ma grow and multiply!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Pain free is the way yup be, Jilli!!!!

CJ had attended asserted his 21-ness buy picking hip a handgun he ordered a while ago but couldn't get until hee was officially 21.

Mini's have garnered him shots of Cuervo, Jager, and Jameson so far.

We almost have my BFF home so she can nap post procedure and Kelly and I can go play. My hip had been great today which means I can drink some too!!!
