Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.  

[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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

You can tell I'm childless, b/c the fact that a woman who's due in *two days* just said this made me snicker madly.

Well, technically, I'm due in two weeks.

I'm just going in to actually have the kid in two days, and have spent so much of the last few months in the damn doctor's office, I haven't had time to look for one.

Your OB will have a list.

They'll have one in L&D, too. I still think I should make Paul do it.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Plus, all the childbirth talk? Now I understand the people who hate when baseball talk takes over Natter. It's like another language totally, with way too much "rip" and "tear" in it.

Dude, that's not even getting into all the body fluids involved. I hear, for the record, that it's all of them, plus the occasional solid.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Steph, I put a question in my LJ today that I was hoping you might be able to answer.

Yeah, reading with your legs tightly crossed does get uncomfortable after a while.

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

It's like another language totally, with way too much "rip" and "tear" in it.

Not to mention blood and pain.

If I only had a brain...

Tell Paul to ask his co-workers.

Plus plus, I'm eating fried ice cream not made in a restaurant, but from a carton of ice cream. Cinnamon ice cream with a honey swirl and wee bits of tortilla. Really good. Almost too sweet, though.

No, this has nothing to do with childbirth, but I can't really contribute to that discussion. Plus, ice cream = much better than a torn perineum.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

There's this weird phenonemon in San Francisco where most of the private practices are by white guy doctors who are now in their sixties. Almost every doctor I've seen since I've been here. EM's OB, Emmett's Ped, the dermatolgist I saw, the guy who operated on Emmett's nose. They all started back in the early 1960s, and are winding down their careers now. It's some sort of generational thing with economic circumstances and the changing medical landscape.

Oh! Perkins -- I don't know about the vodka, but I'd try to keep the sparkling wine cool. Once it's been chilled, it's better to keep it chilled, or at least, not warm.
