[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.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

the home warenty co says they don't cover this - we broke it. by turning on the shower.

That's just wrong. Sorry.

I'm getting the pig!

Laura, are you near Orlando?

2-1/2 hours south of Orlando. It is a drive I know well. If you can't get my way I'll be sure to F2F in Orlando. YaY!

Yay, for sure! It looks like mid-June right now but I'll e you when things are closer to being decided.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Just for fun, here is a chunk of text from an article I'm editing right now:

Those with documented altered functional responses in vitro are noted. Most in vivo studies have focused on SNPs of the extracellular amino terminus of the b2-adrenergic receptor. Nine polymorphisms within the b2-adrenergic receptor coding block have been described with four resulting in amino acid substitutions at positions 16, 27, 34, and 164 of the b2-adrenergic receptor.33 The three different alleles listed in the table have demonstrated functional differences in vitro. At loci 16 glycine (Gly) and arginine (Arg) can be substituted for each other, at loci 27 glutamine (Gln) and glutamic acid (Glu) can be substituted and at loci 164 isoleucine (Ile) can be substituted for threonine (Thr).46 The Gly/Gly homozygous state is significantly more susceptible to agonist induced down-regulation of the b2-adrenergic receptor than the Arg/Arg homozygous state with the heterozygote state at loci 16 (Arg/Gly) showing an intermediate effect.47 At loci 27 the Glu/Glu homozygote protects against b2 agonist down-regulation combined with Arg/Arg but not with Gly/Gly. Finally, substitution of Thr by Ile resulted in 2- 3-fold decreased binding affinities for agonists to the b2-adrenergic receptor.33 The Ile allele is very rare and appears to be lethal if homozygous.

Yes, it makes *my* head hurt, too. (I actually understand it, but I'll be damned if I could explain it in layman's terms.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'll be damned if I could explain it in layman's terms.)

The Ile allele is very rare and appears to be lethal if homozygous.

I'm picturing John Cleese saying this in a bizarre Croc Hunter spoof.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Gronk. My apartment seems to have started to become a mess despite my best efforts. I need to clean it up and pack a bag to go to teacup guy's apartment tonight. I can't seem to find my energy. Perhaps more tea is needed.

Teppy, my head was hurting before I got through the first sentence of that.

{{{Cashmere}}} I am sorry about the bad night you had.

Good luck with your appointment, vw. It was so sweet of you to stay with your friend last night; I am glad everything went well.

{{{GC}}} Hot~water~heater~ma. Sorry about the hair appointment.

{{{Gud}}} I am glad you are better.

{{{beth}}} That sucks. I'm sorry.

{{{all the cranky Bitches}}}

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

My eyes glazed over a few words into Teppy's text. I'm willing to believe Aimee's translation.

Since I have no water woes at the moment, I will direct all water~ma to GC and beth.

Wouldn't it be nice if we had Bitch's Day everyday?! (We could certainly use it.)
