It seems to be really love-it-or-hate it. My mother was kind of like "Lived the drunk-dad thing. Don't consider it entertainment." and I may not watch every episode because they are getting to that whole "Long-running drama: Let's throw things at the wall and see what sticks," kind of deal, but the acting is really great, and the writing has its moments. (Although it often comes back to repeated realizations that somebody in a really nice house usually doesn't have it more together than the Gallaghers do. That, more than copious nudity of every description is why I started it during lockdown and stuff.)
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

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

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
So remember my baby nephew I used to post pictures of a zillion years ago? Well, he’s getting married in October! He and his fiancée are both nerds and the them of their wedding is adventure. The invite said cocktail attired but the bride said RenFaire is very on theme for the wedding. So now I’m looking for a RenFaire adjacent cocktail dress for a wedding in Texas in October. Nothing that is velvety or too warm because I suspect will still be hot by my standards, and I’m very prone to hot flashes at the moment. Ideas?

Is there any world where this [link] or this [link] would work?
I love both of those and they seem to satisfy the assignment of RenFaire Cocktails In The Heat.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Nephlet got married last year and now they are pregnant!!! Crazy how grown they get.
And all of the congratulations. I like the cap sleeves better but both would be fabulous dresses.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ooh, pretty dresses! There's something, I don't know, tapestry-esque about that print that helps with the RenFaire adjacent qualification, I think

Thanks. I think I’ll get one of them. I got an email with a discount today, which helps. I technically cannot afford to go to this wedding, but it’s my nephew. So, I’m going alone instead of with ltc and TCG because the idea of missing it makes me feel sick.
Cass, that sounds equally un possible! How dare the cute little kiddos grow up so fast?!?

I love both dresses, and you will look so fabulous in either one.

The first year we went to the beach with Tim's family, youngest niece was 8. We're headed back to the beach Saturday, and youngest niece, who is now a doctor working in a hospital, will be at the beach also, with her husband. The passage of time blows my tiny little mind.
