Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute  

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

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Cass, that is wonderful news.

If I only had a brain...

Have any of the Bitches done online Weight Watchers? What did you think?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I've done real but not on-line. For me, the cumpulsory weigh-in was the most painful and the most effective part of the process, so I while I think the online would be a valuable resource, I don't think it would be sufficient. For me.

Betsy, a few days ago my aunt was telling about her experience with it -- she likes it b/c it's convenient and she doesn't really like/need the whole group experience. (Though my aunt also said that on a week where she gained weight, when she entered her weight on the website, a little box came up saying something along the lines of "Uh-oh, you've gained weight! Is there any part of the program that you need help with?" Which prompted my aunt to reply -- vocally -- "Fuck off, you hunk of metal!" She's very practical.)

she doesn't really like/need the whole group experience.

That part I'm with her on - I generally either tuned out or skipped entirely the meeting part. But the having someone else weigh you so no fudging...It was good for me to have the outside pressure.

And FWIW, none of the real live WW people ever said anything remotely like that when I'd have an up week.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I do the in-person WW with online as a backup. I use online for recipes and such. I need the once a week check just to keep focussed. Which, admittedly, hasn't been terribly focussed as of late. But, I'm getting back on track after finals/holidays/etc.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Gulp. Kay. Just sent the email packet containing a cover letter, resume, and writing sample. Guess I'm really doing this.

Also, I've done some laundry, and de-clogged and scrubbed the entire tub. (I promised myself I could use one of Raquel's Christmas bath bombs if I did.) Now, I need to really tackle the dishes. To do mine, I have to get through the roomies, which have been in the sink for, and I shit you not, A MONTH. (I've been largely using plastic when I eat here at all.) I'm ascared of what's going to be in there.

Right there with you, Kathy! I've been backsliding for a while, and really need to get focused again.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good on you, Lilty, for the resumes and the bath bombs and the glayvin. The dishes sound very scary. I am a slob with a high tolerance for piling dishes on the counter, but a month is well beyond my limits.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That thing that was so scary that I couldn't talk about it and that I found out about on Friday afternoon when I couldn't do a damn thing about it either? Worked out.

Excellent good news!
