Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[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.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Wonderful news about the job, Aimee! And {{{hugs}}} for the rest of it.
I'm actually fairly calm about dad's situation, mostly because when I saw VCOB's name come up on the caller ID, I knew it had to be something about one of our parents' health, because for ordinary interaction we email each other. In the few seconds it took me to answer the phone and hear what had happened, I'd already had time to imagine the worst and start calculating how soon we could be on a plane. This is so much less frightening than I'd imagined that I'm coping quite well.
I do wish I had a better grasp on the medical issues involved, but I'm hearing the details third-hand, and VCOB is no more a doctor or any kind of medical expert than I am. So I'm really unclear on the part where his heart attack damage from 1991 could be causing clots or scar tissue or something now.
And I get the impression my mother is fixated on the cancer possibility, though from the way VCOB described it, there's at most a 20% chance that's it.
If it turns out to be the standard blood-clot induced TIAs, they'll probably put him on coumadin (sp?), even though he's already on a daily aspirin plus another prescription blood thinner.

Secret Republican Teppy Boyfriend? MADNESS!!
You think you are kidding? I'm feeling a little worried. I don't drink heavily and I don't do drugs. And I'm remembering a whole set of posts by Teppy about this great guy she was dating who was a Republican. And she explained how they got by just staying away from politics as a subject of discussion. And Teppy says no, and I just searched the archived threads and I can't find a anything about this. I have always had a bad memory, but this is absurd. And I'm freakin still remembering after it has been proven to me that it has no basis in reality. Please tell me that this happens to other people that it is not neccesarily a symptom of a anything serious.

Ah. OK so it is bad memory. I mean I really apologize for confusing you with Teppy -cause you are both foamy but in but in very different ways. But I'm still relieved I was not just making it up.
