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.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

what's for lunch seems to be the question of the hour. i'm so sick of fast food and the like that i can never think of anything. i know i want some yummy sweet tea and Sonic has the best of that, but i had the food for dinner last night.

maybe i'll just go get a burger from somewhere.

also? my lips are on FIRE!! i forgot my normal chapstick this morning so i have reverted back to Sephora's Lip Venom. this stuff really does require you to have some kind of masochist gene in your body.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

This is why I have chapstick (or some other non-burny lip balm) stashed every place I could possibly need it. Purse, car, desk at work, bedside table, bathroom, pocket of 2 different coats.

One must always be prepared for a chapping emergency.

Because books.

my lips are on FIRE!!

I was surprised to find that Burt's Bees is like that -- it's like a mentholated cigarette for your lips. Very weird.

I also have chapstick everywhere I can think of -- in my desk drawer, in my nighttable drawer, in my purse... I hate chapping emergencies.

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

That burning for me presages a rash. Lips are not good places for rashes -- well, perhaps no place is, but lips are worse than many.

So I use vaseline, and one specific vitamin E balm if I'm not wearing lipstick. It's scattered everywhere, since I'm in pain with an hour of needing it -- and recently my lips have become so sensitive that I can't make do with most face lotion.

What is even happening?

Also, Cindy, maybe you were thinking "paneer" = bread b/c of Panera Bread Co.

Yes, because "pan" is bread in Spanish, I think "panis" is bread in Latin, and "pain" is bread in French (isn't it? I never took French, but always figured "Au Bon Pain" mean something like Hey! Good Bread!), and we bake bread in a pan. I know there are languages with Indo-Eurpean roots, so I thought maybe there was a link.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

and "pain" is bread in French (isn't it? I never took French, but always figured "Au Bon Pain" mean something like Hey! Good Bread!)

Pain is bread. "Au Bon Pain" literally means something like "Of the good bread" or "At the good bread."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Pain is bread.

The battle cry of the low-carb diets!

But, you know, I like "Hey! Good Bread!" better.

But those are all Romance languages, aren't they?

Gujarati and Hindi are derived from Sanskrit. I think Sanskrit was the original language in the Indian area, but I'm not certain. I mean, it's the language all the sacred texts are written in.

I never did think of the pan/paneer similarity. And while my initial reaction was that of course they're not related, they have different root language families, it just occurred to me that the word for name is naam. Maybe they're somewhat related. I'm sure I might have learned this stuff a few years ago, but I forgot.
