Teppy - you tried to be supportive and he is pissing away every chance he has to make good choices. YOU are caring for yourself and Tim - your priorities are in the right place.
This. You have already gone above and beyond.
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Our wings are not tired.
May the nap be renewing for both of you, sj.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Thanks, Laura. I woke up with a headache, but at least I got some sleep.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Tim's boss is paying for not!son to stay in a moderately sketchy motel near work. I have no idea for how long. And, the thing is, since I decided I am staying out of this from now on, then I'm also staying out of this decision, too. Though I told Tim he might want to sit down with his boss tomorrow and be VERY clear about not!son's situation, just so boss knows what's what.
I don't bear not!son any ill will. Certainly not. I don't want him to freeze (the lows are going to be in the 20s this weekend). But *I'm* not going to be responsible for him not freezing any longer. Thanks to Tim's boss, not!son will be warm and can get a shower and a good night's sleep. And that's that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I like that mountain metaphor, KB.
Hope you're rid of the bedbug man for good, Tep.

Tim's boss must like Tim very much to do that for him.

It's a small family business, and the boss is Tim's cousin. Although that certainly doesn't have to mean that Tim's cousinboss likes him a great deal. But yes, he does. His family is, in general, exceptionally good-hearted, kind people.

Thrive to spite them
I hope that it ngoes well with Tim's not son and his boss.
I took a nap amd wemt to worm amd feel better. Right now I'm working on the fudge bars.
I got a goofy card. I tried to find a sentimental card for a guy who is not a husband, father ,son or grandfather and no luck. So instead I got a card with a kitten shooting rainbows out of its eyes.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
heres a trick I learned about managing emotion. My emotions are not my core. They are changeable like the weather. I think I am the mountain, moods blow past, and I am still standing when the clouds break.
That's a good visualization, Katie B.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
The universe , like everyone else, is telling him to get his act together.
yes, this
Laura, Steph, it's so hard to keep those boundaries clear. I respect you both for doing it.
