[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.
put your feet up and have a nice cold beverage.
I have had many jobs that made my feet cry, and you learn to invest in decent shoes (and arch support inserts, if necessary) and some pampering stuff for feet. Like foot soak powder or peppermint foot lotion. You must love your feet, support them so that they may support you!
(It was the faciitis that almost keeled me dead. That was a long road of foot pain.)

Oh yes. I've had huge trouble with it over the last couple of years. Finally it seems to be on the mend.
Mine shifted from foot to foot. Wily!

Seems to be OK, though I get an occasional twinge.
So yay for the test result. Now must figure out
There. Prettier.
Skip, skip, skip to my Lou...
Not that I know who Lou is. Much ~ma to those who need it and congratulations to those who deserve it (Stephanie, Fay, Emily and anyone else I missed).
I just had to pop in because I have figured out a wonderful thing, thanks to vw. As I preface, I eat poorly, exercise not nearly enough and have a very messy apartment with cat fur everywhere. After my recent annus horribilis, (which I would say appears to be past, except I don't want to tempt fate), my habits have leveled out at worse rather than better.
Then, Saturday night, I had an epiphany. Just as vw paid herself with an iPod for school attendance, I can pay myself for doing things that I don't particularly want to but should. I am now paying myself for exercise, for each day without junk food, and for housecleaning. Walking to work doesn't count for exercise and dishes and laundry don't count for housecleaning. I can then spend the money on whatever. I'm on day three, and it really seems to be working for me. There is no guilt, just choices that are now clearly connected to short and long term consequences. And that North Douglas Chocolate Cake at the Fiddlehead Restaurant, which was so tempting at $4.95, is much less tempting when I add the $5 for junk food.
I'm amazed that I didn't think of this before, but it would have been less practical before. Now that my student loan is paid off, I should be able to actually afford this. And I spent my first $14.95 on Netflix, convinced by all the Farscape talk last week (I think in this thread), and for all of you who were claiming John Crichton, you are so wrong. He are all mine.
Congrats, Stephanie!
Best wishes for your friends, Beej.
Yay, Fay!
Yay, MFNLaw!
Yay, Emily!

I'm glad you found a solution that lets you feel good about your choices and rewarded after. Maybe I need to come up with something like this.
I also need to put Farscape on my list just because I haven't seen it in a while.
Mine shifted from foot to foot. Wily!
Yeah, mine started in the right foot, but later realised that it was just limiting its true potential. It's still worse on the right.
Congrats Stephanie, Esq.!!! (Now there are *2* Buffista Stephanie lawyers -- weird....)
Right on, Emily!!!
Yay Fay!!!

After 2-3 months (or, erm, maybe more) of not working out on a regular basis (>= 3 times a week, cardio that makes me sweat, for at least 30 minutes), I switched locations where I work out (or *didn't* work out), because a change of scenery is always motivating for me, AND I made a deal with myself: if I work out at least 4 times a week for 4 weeks in a row, I'm buying this corset.
I've made it 2 weeks of 4 workouts per week, and I'm on track for this week. Onward! To infinity corset, and beyond!
Did they check Aimee's house yet? [link]
