Merry Christmas to everyone....who celebrates it and to those who do not I hope your Monday went well...
I am sad this X-Mas....I got into a fight with a my trans friend to the point that we are not friends anymore. I wish nothing but the best for this person and hope they get their life together but honestly it was a toxic one sided relationship with the person using me. Anytime I needed support or help....mysteriously he was not there....or highly critical of me.
I am sad because it just seems every time I let people in and trust them they walk right over me....and throw me away once they get everything they can.

Oh, what a sad situation!
Here's a hug to get you through for a little while, until more hugs show up in the thread. **hug**
Even if a relationship is toxic, it's still a relationship and grieving for its loss is necessary.
Hope you learn to spot the jerks walking up the steps, and learn not to open the door when people have a 'jerk' aura.
* grabs Selene in a big soft fluffy bear hug *
Alas I know the feeling all too well, my friend. Personally I think it's because we generate a powerful aura of friendship, compassion, and caring and some people just can't stand it but they also know they can take advantage of it.
Grrrrr! That makes me an angry bear.
But on to other things...
Merry Holidays, everyone!

it can be damn hard to cut such people out of your life.

I LOVE TWIZZLERS!!

Yeah. I take a deep breath and it feels like someone stuck a knife there. Glad to see that you're recovering. As of the 23rd, your package was in Georgia. So you should get it in a day or two.
Hope you get to feeling better buddy.
*offers more hugs*
And hehe thankies :3
*throws twizzlers at Freehold*
Send the snow over here instead.

John,
We'll see. Generally if Pittsburgh gets bad ones, we get...moderate ones. I think.

I sincerely hope that everyone had a decent Christmas despite some of the problems several of you have dealt with. I hope that you all have a better year next year than you had this year, even if this year was the best you've ever had.
Where are the campfire elementals when we need them desperately??
We're at -6F here. Freehold, this your fault?

Sorry, I was...inconvenienced for a few days!

Dangit, it's cold here - been cold the past few days. First time it's been above 0 (though still single digits) since the 24th. Glad I got this natural fur coat.
* sends out hugs, handshakes, head nods, and high-fives to everyone *
And always remember - if you need anyone to talk to or just to vent I've got two shoulders to cry on and two ears for listening (and an inbox as well).
Stay safe and stay wonderful. I love you all.

After a brief sojourn in the homeland, it's a pleasure to be enjoying Seattle's drizzly, low-40s (both high and low) weather. Also adding to my displeasure with the homeland, I recycled a book on Disney promoting the gay agenda that my sister's caregiver snuck into her book stash (fortunately, there was zero chance of my sister reading it anyway). I guess I should be glad said caregiver is perfectly friendly to me and my wife in person? But ugh.
On the other hand, I DO recommend Ann Leckie's new book Provenance, which has a ton of queer and genderqueer characters. (It's set in the same universe as the Imperial Radch trilogy, but stands alone fairly well.)

warm enough to wear a dress today.
Scary stuff, John. Hopefully docs can help?
Sorry for my radio silence again, been on vacation and only really checking on my PbP.

On the subject of recommending books, I'll recommend the Theonite series. It's a cross of afrofuturism and superheroes, and is very diverse. The first book and side-story thing are free on the website, and a portion of money from the books is going to help with malaria through December. :D

So some good news...I am back on the tablet...got that and other things like a Roku TV and a DVD/Blu-ray player...the rest of the money I earned and got as a gift for x-mass goes to feminine things.
My...friend I mention above texted me to apologize...we are getting together to talk...I am probably going to take the stance of...sure we can be friends just do not expect me to be there for you.
@John: I hope you mother is okay...you should definitely take her to a neurological tests.

I've actually cut back quite a bit the past month or so, in part because ill, in part because it was taking too much of my time and money...

Good morning all you wonderful people.
* grabs everyone who wants one in a big fluffy bear hug *
And a belated Merry New Year to you all.
(Had some equipment problems - my residential gateway/modem died a few days and AT&T was being a total REDACTED about replacing it - but now I'm back. Just my luck - gotta end the old year on a less than positive note so I can begin the new on a better note.)
