That sounds wonderful! ltc will adore you both!

Brendon talked with TCG quite a bit during the Providence F2F and has mentioned visiting you a few times so it is on the list. Of course I also need to see the awesomeness that is ltc up close. Depending on her and the other Buffista sprog to do right for us in the World Domination plan.

TCG really liked Brendon.

Took my BFF to the doctor's for an upper GI thing. They knocked her out, so she needed a driver. We are back at her place. My 12 year old...ummm...daughter's boyfriend's daughter and my BFF's 12 year old son have been hanging out and actually been excellent about letting her sleep and me try to work.

BFF's boyfriend is here, but he is kinda a jerk and he can't drive her if something comes up (no license), so I'm hanging until she wakes up.

You're a good friend, Suzi.

Good luck smonster! It's ok to not see him immediately again if you don't want. Once a week can be plenty...

Hahaha. Well, as it turns out, twice a week is not enough for him and it's unfair of me to ask. Dude, are you 34 or 13? We can't hold hands after school every day, and I don't want to anyway. I have a life, and its busy and full, and I am not looking for someone to monopolize my time and attention. So I shan't be seeing him again. He kept saying he'd respect my boundaries but then thought it was cute to push them. Not cute.

Yeah, that is no good, smonster. I'm sorry.

Blergh. Yeah, best bet is being done with him.

Ugh, gross, smonster.

Tep, that list of things to deal with made me want to hide under the bed just reading it. You are so totally not being selfish. I hope you are able to get some space and some relief very soon.

Strix, all ~ma for you and D and family. It's good to see your pixels here.

Zen, your blood and internal organs need to stay inside your body. I'm prepared to be firm about this if necessary.

Jessica, Divorced Dad here sounds like, shall we say, a real piece of work. Trying to rope your kid in on his side just adds an extra layer of creepy and thoughtless to the mix. Block early, block often, I say.

smonster, my wish for you is to find someone (or someones, if that's your preference) who will appreciate your many sterling qualities and also be interpersonally-aware enough to give you space when you want/need it.

Bev, I hope you get the most out of having the house to yourself for a while, and that you and H celebrate being re-united in a glorious and silly fashion when it happens.

Everybody else, I'm still here and still reading. I'm terribly fond of all of you. Thank you for taking such good care of one another; it's a balm to the soul to come in and read some of my favourite people supporting one another.

Lovely to see you, Karl. I hope you and yours are doing well.
