You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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

Oh zen.

Got any tips and tricks for being one-legged and working from home? How long did you take off after you got back here? Any devices/things I should order because they made life handier, or versions that were better than others?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

In case anyone sees my uncle's comment on my FB, which I guess is about how racism doesn't exist, please don't jump in. I have no idea why he decided to post on this topic, but I can't handle a big thing. I have a couple cousins who may push back as it is.

I feel like a coward for saying this, but my level of coping is seriously low right now.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Dana, there is nothing wrong with saying, "I cannot cope with conflict in my space right now."

This goes well beyond "pick your battles" and into "preserve your own sanity and well-being." (At least in my experience.)

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.

Harvey's eye is still not back to normal. I'm essentially trying not to look at it. Trying not to think about it has been the opposite of helpful.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh WindSparrow, I understand how hard it is. Hugs.

Dana, what Karl said!

I just went for my Adulting Grand Master badge and scheduled my first colonoscopy. Yippee skippee.

Well done with the adulting there! I did my first (and last) this year. I figure last because if no issues the protocol is 10 years, and then I'll be way old and not going to bother.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm hoping the turd-inna-box thing I've seen ads for takes off in lieu of more invasive colonoscopies.

I asked about that, and my doctor said they weren't as accurate so he couldn't recommend it. I was, well, bummed.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yeah, you do the dipstick thing, and if it's clear you don't need the 'scopy. I had my first 'scopy about a year ago, with bonus endoscopy (the ER staff called the combo procedure a "spinner", hee!) and they found *nothing*. My PCP is pushing for another 'scopy and I'm side-eyeing her, bigtime.
