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.

Question for the hive mind: anyone used Zicam Swabs? I'm trying to decide if I want to get some and force Pete to use them, because not only does he not need to get sick while in the final two (hellish) weeks of his current deadline, but *I* am not up to coping with him getting sick during a deadline.

Always Anti-fascist!

I think they work, Jilli. But mostly, I've used lozenges.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Jilli, my Mother swears by blowing a hot hair dryer into your mouth and nose for a few minutes several times a day to ward off an oncoming cold.

raises eyebrows

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to convince Pete to do that. If I somehow do, I promise to take pictures.

I was having such fun visualizing that I just had to suggest it.

Bastet has figured out how to open the freezer. Yay.

Now Bastet can get you a bowl of ice cream.

Ooooo...I like that idea. At this point, though, I'd be happier if she could make some dinner. I seem to be getting Emily's cold. Yay again.

Oh, and the police are outside saying, "Take a walk. Take a walk now." I'm afraid to look at see what's going on.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

There is some speculation that people with cross-dominance, i.e., right handed and left eyed, are more clumsy.

As lisah said, this would explain a lot. I'm right handed w/ left eye dominance, but that may because the optic nerve in my right eye got deep-fried by a case of scarlet fever when I was a wee one. (I'm severely tunnel-blind in the right eye--it's like I'm going through life looking through a paper towel tube with gauze over the end)

If I only had a brain...

Jilli, NONONONONONONO.

People have permanently lost their sense of smell from Zicam.
