Oh Todd, that is a lot. I'm sorry.
Mal: If anyone gets nosy, just, you know... shoot 'em. Zoe: Shoot 'em? Mal: Politely.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
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 look more rad than Lutheranism
I'm really unclear on what all has transpired with my brother today, but the short version is that he's alive and hanging in there. Friends are on the way over with more beer, and other friends are coming over later tonight.
I am sick and fucking tired of taking care of everyone, and everyone can just fuck all the way off and take care of themselves. My brother, my dad, my husband -- they can all fuck off and sort their shit out themselves without me. Or maybe they could take care of me for a change. But the goddamn sun will burn out and the rivers will run backwards before that will happen.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
{{{Tep}}} You should be free of taking care of everyone! I know it's hard to actually do, but I hope you get at least a little timeto, I don't know, not.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Teppy, you absolutely deserve reciprocity for your concern and compassion, at the very least. I am so sorry that the people in your immediate family aren't able or willing to provide it.

Oh Teppy. You deserve care and you deserve to be angry
Toddson, that is a lot. Feeling like that and not acting on it was sort of what caused me to shut down and not clean my apartment. So I am glad you are interviewing. That sounds like a good fit, and admissions is fun! If I try for another job, it will probably be in admissions.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
um ... not interviewing, just looking for a new place to live. I had a nice spreadsheet on my computer, buildings in good locations that I could afford that had good reviews, phone numbers, links, everything I needed ... and the !@#!!! computer died. File saved on the (defunct) hard drive. I do have a list of the buildings ... guess it's time to start over.

And because it deserves its own post - Teppy, can you go away from everyone for a couple of days? Not necessarily far, no need to be someplace expensive, just someplace away?

Oh, man, Toddson! Good luck.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Toddson, Teppy, JZ, and whoever else is being put on the brink by other people's problems, ease and help and relief wished to all of you, solutions that help and don't make things worse, and a better spacing of unpleasant events. Hugs (except for Teppy) and hairpats and extravagant compliments galore to each of you.
I'm sorry that things conspire.

Whoops! Did I conflate two people? Frankly I can't see that well on my phone! I think I need bifocals!
