Spike's Bitches 29: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.  

[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.

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

This is a very Hecubus site: many known ways of folding pocket squares. [link]

Sweet! I only aspire to that level of dandyism. How cool is it to have your own signature fold? The Astaire! The Cooper! The Cagney!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Hec, as an arbiter of taste, you're the Bitches' Beau Brummel.

Well, I'm setting the bar pretty low today. My Converse are split halfway up the side.

Also I need to wear a Zout medallion to wipe out the inevitable stains that land in the middle of my shirts.

Mostly lurking...

Go, MG! And yay for the break!

I just talked to my psychopharm. He's pissed at the ER, because they didn't consult him when I was there Monday/Tuesday. He's also pissed that I had two seizures in the waiting room, but I think he's more pissed that they didn't consult him. I told them to page him. TWICE. I even told them that he was angry the last time I came in for seizures, because they didn't consult him, and he would have asked for an EEG to be done. So, they knew. I'm afraid heads may roll.

He was actually very helpful, though. He gave me firm guidelines as to *when* I need to go back to the ER (if a seizure lasts more than 10 minutes, if I have convulsions, or if I have more than 3 in a day). No one else had done that, so I needed some reassurance. He also said if I have to go back, I'll probably be admitted. Ugh. Hopefully I won't have to go back.

If I only had a brain...

Afraid? No. You are not afraid.

Because this is not about VW -- this is about every. single. patient. who goes to that ER. It's about all the patients who don't have powerful doctors on their side, and who are being mistreated just the way you were, and who can't do anything about it. It's about fixing a broken system so that it works.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That must be such a huge relief, just to have some way of knowing when you need to act.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I am pretty sure they do, bt. The US Embassy in Beijing makes appointments, and issues student, tourist, etc.

No, the UK, not the US. I know the US requires visas.

This may be an inappropriate question, but I'd love to hear how you got the last nail in.

Does that make Hec The Holy Grail?

Yes. Yes, it does. It also explains the spreading midsection. Why? Holy Grail. That's why.
