'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
[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.
Ummm, nope. I will buy the patches and try to quit in one month. For really.I imagine that's about when I will be giving it a go. I am thinking I will buy the gum as a back up plan, so that if I go insane, I can fall back on those, rather than on actual cigarettes.
Did someone here mention lozenges?
Cindy, she doesn't remember specifically, but they took out a lot of loans. She was under the impression that they had paid them all back, but they didn't keep good records. H's father's signature looks genuine, certainly.
When I quit smoking I used some wacky herbal "cigarettes" (not that wacky, they were, as far as I know, perfectly legal) that didn't taste very good but helped me get through the compulsion to light up that I had aside from the nicotine craving. I didn't do gum, but I have heard that the new versions taste much better (when I tried Nicotrol or whatever it was, it tasted like Dentyne that had been left in an ashtray)
Ugh, my marriage is on the rocks again. Don't know how this is going to end.
On the plus side, I've finally started building the play equipment I wanted to make for the kids. Okay, it's not much of a plus side.
eta: Horrible crosspost with Gud. I'm so very, very sorry, Gud. You and your wife and Emaryn and Leif are all in my thoughts.
There are seventeen species of penguin and I can name them all!
fans self, swoons
juliana is so pretty it's just crazymaking. And the pictures are wonderful: brimming with love of all sorts, agape and eros and affection and familial cherishing and the whole big mess of it. The dancing pictures are my favorites -- first dance pictures are almost always my favorites. The couple is finished with the stressful ceremonial scary stuff, they're all giddy with "we did it!"-ness and booze, and they're wrapped up in each other's arms with music they love swirling around them. Public but very playful and intimate. Oh, how I love first dance pictures.
Also, did I mention the prettiness of juliana? 'Cause, STUNNING!
Hec and I were utterly ass-backwards: acquaintances, then fb's, then friends and in love in a jumble while still insisting that we were really just fb's without a future. I am never, ever, ever telling our children the truth about it.
I'm so sorry, Gud. You have my best wishes.
So sorry Gud.
See, my thing always was that if we had a friendship first, I had a very hard time seeing them in a sexy light (men and women both).
Well, Tom is all mysterious and British which kept sexiness alive. (heh) Plus, I suspect I was in love with him all along. We were friends due to circumstance (my toxic relationship with crazy-ex) but our attraction persevered through the 2+ years we knew each other before we started dating. But, you know, totally under the surface, due to relationship, Britishness, and general insecurity on both sides.
And, Gud. I am am so sorry. I hope you guys keep pushing through to the other side, and this will finally be behind you.
Bless you, Gud. I'm sorry.
-t, how are you doing? I've been thinking of you often.
I'm sorry you're having such a rough time, Gud. I wish there were something I or anyone could do.
{{{Gud}}} I'm so sorry.
{{{-t}}} I think I'd go postal if I discovered previously unsuspected debts just now.
Hooray for Nora and Tom's grown-up house-buying abilities.
DH and I fell into love and best friendship in the same 48-hour period right after we met. Which I wouldn't have believed possible before meeting him. I was a big believer in the You Must Be Best Friends FIRST theory of relationships. Which mostly meant that, having secured a male best friend freshman year in college, I just couldn't let go of the idea we were destined for each other.
I'm angsting about money again.
