Scold your kidneys and tell them they can do better.
Note: This strategy does not work on lungs and snot monsters.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Ann, that's a ferret.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
That's not enough! Scold your kidneys and tell them they can do better. Then change your tone in a soft and encouraging voice and tell your kidneys that you love them. Then scorn the bacteria - snub them. Give them a really dirty look.
Bwah! I really needed that laugh. Thank you.
the juice works better if you add vodka. or maybe that's just my quirk
No alcohol for a while because of the antibiotics. I usually buy the cranberry juice that is mixed with other juices, but not sugar, as long as it has like 40% cranberry juice in it, it is supposed to still be effective.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
And then the not-returning-calls-after-work thing is just because I am lazy and a shitty friend. Sorry.
Can we make a time or something?
Yes, definitely. When is good for you?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

The real problem with this, is getting close enough to these organs and organisms so that they take the scornful looks seriously. This is painful and only to be attempted by trained yogis.
sj, for what it's worth, my doc back when I had a really bad kidney infection said not to have more than 4 oz of the pure cranberry juice per day. So having a full glass of the cut stuff sounds quite reasonable to me.

I'm getting the pig!
Ah hell, sj. V-day is really not turning out well for you. I'm sorry, sweets. Do you have your cell on? Can you chat?
I'm supposed to be in a meeting from 2-4 but the dryer installer guy still hasn't called to say he's on his way to my house. Me thinks I'm going to be missing my meeting. Feh.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Will worry about Cass until I read her pixels again. Thinking would love to hear story.It's just so ... uninteresting. Except that she just drove by and beeped. Seriously? Why?? I don't get it.
Since she is really only psychologically freaky at this point, if I put it out of mind then the terrorists lose. As does the creepy stalker.
My money is on alien baby in GI tract. Only *one* doctor out of the 4 that saw him today thought that was funny.snerk I hope he is feeling better today though.
sj, I hope you continue feeling better as well.
she's okay with nose touching so long as it is gentle and clearly recreational in natureAnd she beeps!
Yesterday, one of the other little girls in her class was getting her runny nose cleaned up and was making a fuss about it. Lillian was sitting next to her, made a note of this, and proceeded to stick her hand in front of the other baby's nose to protect it from the attack of the snot sucker.Smart she is. And adorable. Did we mention the adorable?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Damn, sj, that sucks! I hope you've caught the kidney thing early enough to prevent too much suffering and you are soon feeling better.
I don't live near Redding, but I know where we can go get Indian food after the cluesticking if you want to roadtrip, MG.
Happy Valentine's Day! Since my brother bought his flower shop, today mostly makes me hope he makes huge profits off of last minute purchasers trying to convince their SOs that they didn't forget to get them anything.

Lillian protecting OtherBaby's nose is so cute! I can see that "Got your nose" game turning her into a crimefighter...

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah, Hec, Joyce is the shit.(And like I said in lj one of the main reasons why my big adult fantasy(as in being, not like...Lord of The Cock Rings or something) is still "lawyer" even though , in actual practice I'm an inkstained wretch till I die and would never have the patience for law school in a trillion years. But I would like to do that thing that she does where she can say "Counselor" and have it mean "You asshole!" without her having to say it, for instance. Maybe I just want to pour coffee on La Rue's crotch. And Furillo has influenced my taste in men for all time. What that says about me I shudder to think. sj, glad to hear you're doing a bit better but no apologies needed.

Tickybox looked at me like I had totally and completely betrayed her when I wiped her nose.
The beeping? She was fine with that.
The de-snotifying? Not a chance.
