Spike ,'Showtime'
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I'm sorry, Epic. It's hard when something that seemed good ends like that.
Hil, I'm glad you've found a community you're happy in, and hopefully they move to an accessible location soon.
I had a pleasant lunch with a friend, and now I feel depressed, and I'm telling myself there's no reason to be depressed, except there kinda is. I should be looking at that severance package that arrived yesterday but I don't want to.
Hil, sounds like a very promising community. I'm really pleased for you.
Zen, you do have reason to be depressed. Any change is hard, and layoffs are a real blow. But I'm glad you're reaching out and getting out (if you're anything like me, a very real struggle during depression). You should look at the severance package soon, but it doesn't have to be right this minute. Take care of you. Wish you were closer for hugs. {{{Zen}}}
Steph, Epic, and Zen - I am sorry. Hoping for positive news for all of you.
Hil, the community sounds amazing. I've never heard of a community that offers snacks and water during Yom Kippur (but I live in Jerusalem, so that doesn't say much). That's very thoughtful.
Y'all, getting a migraine and my period on the same day is just not cool. My painkillers don't know which thing to fix.
My uncle is not dealing with my aunt's death very well -- he's really angry, which I think is a normal response, but he's taking it out on my cousins and is just being really mean to them. My mom texted me and said not to call or text him because he's just really volatile. It sucks. It seems within the normal range of grief, but really sucks.
It is really hard on everyone when grief psychosis hits. Wishes for peace and comfort for all.
{{{Tep}}} All that is hard! I'm sorry.
Oh, Tep, that's a lot. I'm so sorry your uncle is so distraught.
That sounds so hard, Teppy. I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry, Steph. I hope your uncle can get through this stage of grieving soon.
Thanks for the good words, y'all. I'm doing okay so far.
WTF (why the fuck) do I have cramps? What is this bullshit where bodies just get random as you age? Aging is bullshit.
