Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

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

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Do interventions ever actually work?

Yes. It wasn't an intervention like you see on A&E, but when we confronted my uncle about his drinking almost 30 years ago, it got him into inpatient rehab. He was sober until the day he died last year. Granted, this wasn't the first time anyone tried to get him to stop drinking, but this was the only time my aunt promised to leave and take their son. Sometimes you just have to find the right motivator.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Good to know they do work sometimes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

alcohol/sugar/cocaine

Relationships/job decisions/car purchasing choices/etc...you don't give advice? Even solicited?

I'd like to think I'd listen. That's part of being a responsible adult, to let people you trust and respect call you out on stuff that may be damaging to what you actually want out of life and your wellbeing.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I ate a donut hole just now. I feel no regret (except for the part where it wasn't a giant donut hole the size of a baseball).

Shit, that was really good.

Royal Ascot bans fascinators from the Royal Enclosure.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

So a hat big enough to frighten a horse is all right, but a small fascinator isn't?

Apparently, they aren't considered formal.

Well, the rule is that everyone needs to be in a hat, so I'm guessing there isn't a big freakout as a result.
