You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

[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.

Well, I found an article about the study: [link]

Prelim. study, featuring 10 healthy volunteers, and coughing induced via capsaicin. It took a bit more capsaicin to induce coughing in those who had been given brom...something, a component of chocolate, than those who had been given codeine, or a placebo. Innnnnteresting, but hardly conclusive.

I gotta go get ready for work. Bleh.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

That's dreadful, MG. Ovarian cancer is so hard to diagnose in time.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

She just got the prelim diagnosis and they are doing a needle biopsy today as they get her referred to an oncologist.

She is an older gal, not sure of her exact age, but I'd say late 50's, early 60's. She had such a hard time coming back after carpal tunnel surgery, that I'm just really worried...I mean, that is a breeze compare to cancer.

What is even happening?

Oh, MG. I hope they find it hasn't spread.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Suzi, much healing and health~ma for your assistant. I'm so sorry.

ION, I finally sent out my tiara to my tiara-ee on Monday. I'm a pitiful slacker. I hope the tiara-ee will forgive me when she sees it and not wish I'd kept it. (I'm not really worried about that. She's too polite to say so even if she did think such a thing.)

I find that I just don't know enough about cancer of any type to know what to expect next with all this. One of my teammates and I were just talking about how we are still in complete shock.
