Title: Wrapping Paper Blues
By: mrtwstedwhsprs (Mr. Twisted Whispers)
Rating: PG/FRT
Pairing: Gen, Giles main character
Written For: the Drunken Giles Christmas Ficathon, for zandra_x who wanted: Giles buying something, Giles being confused, and a favorite book.
Warnings: Comedy

Summary: On Christmas Eve, Giles encounters scary sights of an entirely new type.

Notes: I do not own any of the characters in this fic.  They belong to Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, and various Corporate Entities.  Charcters who do not appear in this fic had an enjoyable night seeing if It's a Wonderful Life syncs up with UmmaGumma.  It doesn't.

Special thanks to lostgirlslair for, as usual, doing a wonderful beta job by making my story actually readable.


( Wrapping Paper Blues )

In addition to being sick as hell today. (Sicker than I've been in a real long time, probably years. . .some kinds of fast, hard-hitting flu) I just found out that my grandfather, who helped raise me, and was the closest thing I had to a father, is dying.

HE has complications from severe alzheimers, and mini-strokes. His brain is just litterally falling apart.

HE's beaten the odds before, but it doesn't look good this time.

One of the most noble things in humanity is charity: doing something for one's fellow
human in need. To engage in charity expecting to be given something out of it, expecting
to be paid back, or in order to get something out of it yourself, is vile.

There are a lot of other things: Such as taking what was agreed to be a personal issue
between a small number of people, and spreading it all over the net in order to bash
the people involved. No one appreciates the people who actually avoid naming names,
and who keep to thier word not to involve other people. As such, they don't defend
themselves, and are demonized, without thier side of the story ever being heard.

Even worse, and even more vile is to wait around until something good happens to others
so that you can cheapen it, or wait until something bad happens so you can make it worse.

Pairing: Giles/Buffy
Summary: Love, fate, a sign, and a heavy desk.  That’s what it takes to find a missing ingredient.

Special thanks to lostgirlslair for beta-ing this fic, despite feeling that my baroque sentence structure and inordinate fondness for complex and unneeded verbiage is a “crime against nature.” :-)

We have connectivity again!!!!!!!!!!

We are getting settled here in Mass.  It's a bit by bit process, but things are beginning to feel a bit closer to normal, though, truly, everything still seems a bit surreal at times.

There is literally no way that I can express how thankful I am to everyone who has helped us.  I have tried to find a way to express things since I sat down at the computer about 45 minutes or so ago, and I still have no way to explain.  THere are simply not the words in the English language (or any other language) to express how I feel. 

I am so thankful for everything that everyone has done for us, and continues to do.  I am amazed and in shock, and so thankful, that I literally don't know what to say.

If it wasn't for all y'all, we would have not gotten any further than the side of the road in Denham Springs, two dead cars ago.  THe fact that we and the cats are here, alive an well is a testament to just how wonderful all of you are.  If I became immortal, I would still not live long enough to repay your kindnesses, or even express my gratitude. 

THank you all so much.

Hi

I am so amazingly grateful to everyone who is helping us so much.  I really don't know what to say. 

We are safe, currently in Texarkana. 

I will try to keep in touch as much as I can

Again, thank you all so much
