I suddenly have a 101 fever, and I just threw up everything I've ever eaten. I never throw up. WTF? Is there something going around?

Damn, clearly the universe did not read post #4401. Ginger -- Calm Stomach vibes to you.

How cute is this? I was in the comic-book store today, getting my Bat-haul, when Cute Comic-Book Guy asked "You like Buffy, right?" And I said yes, and he said he had been in Baltimore for the t memfault convention and got a bunch of free swag, and gave me this: [link]

I think he loves me. Plus, the little Angel figure has the option of being shirtless!!! How cute is that? And the head has a face on each side, so he can be vamp!Angel or non-vamp!Angel, according to my whim.

option of being shirtless

Woot! That's cool, Teppy. And? ComicBookGuy loooooves you....

Teppy and CuteComicBookGuy! Sittin' in a tree!

C-O-M-I...

He likes, he wants to kiss you....

But he has a GF, or did, the last time I checked.

Still, maybe among his tribe, giving a girl a shirtless!Angel figure means we're betrothed.

Cool.

It certainly should, if there's any justice in the universe.

Ginger, small sips of ginger ale.

askye, a little protein, some calcium (cheese, milk, calcium tablets) and B vitamins will probably help you chill. Fewer carbs, yes, probably a good idea. And all the calm-ma in the world to you.

Universe, you bastige. Back off, already! Enough!

Oh Ginger, you poor woman. I will send over one of the cabana boys to hold your head, clean your bathroom, and bring you ginger ale.

Oh, Cindy! Is it raining toads outside your window, yet? What a shitty string of events!

No, but there was a FUCKING cricket in my dining room window sill. I don't know how it got there, or if it is one of the purchased crickets even, because I did the very traumatic cricket bag-to-crate transfer outside. And the crickets remained outside in their little crate until dh came home, at which point I had him transfer them to the cellar, so they wouldn't die of cold or be eaten by something that could open the case, like a lizard with opposable tongues or something.

Plus Teppy, there's that smoocherific water...over...the bridge...under the damn kiss shot of B/A, a scene which is still capable of turning my knees to water.

Well, while there aren't a lot of things we eat while they are still alive, we do eat a lot of stuff that is raw. So, I think feeding an animal it's natural food is okay. No point trying to Disney it up by feeding them dry food all the time. Although, that does give you the opportunity to discuss the difference. Pets vs. wild animals, domesticated vs. tame, what's necessary for life, the sacrifices, etc.

I find it disturbing for first graders to keep a pet that requires them to feed it other living things. I don't have a problem with them learning about what animals do in the wild. I have a problem with animals being exploited to teach that lesson--one they could learn outside, or at an aquarium, or whatever. Also, it cost me $3.78 for three dozen crickets.

Don't send money. Is not hoax.

Oh dear. t sends comfort and pronouns to Boston

t has no pronouns left for self

t resolves to start calling self 'Bob Dole'

Does anyone else find it disturbing that the children have to feed live crickets to the lizard?

Not Bob Dole. 'Cause IT'S THE CIIIIIIRCLE [deep breath] THE CIIIIIRCLE OF LIIIIIIIIIIFE.

Could be worse. Wait till she gets to 6th grade and has to look after the school leopard.

I'm feeling better. The food was good. I don't have any B vitamins. But I do have a multivitamin that I haven't been taking and I took that. I need to put that with my other meds so I'll take it at night.

Tomorrow I call and find out when I can see the nutritionist. Because obviously my diet is effecting (affecting?) my health. Right now I'm eating bagged salad striaght from the bag.
