Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Is it too late to join the SFers in bitching about the weather?

I feel like finding a desert to run away to.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm sorry, but the SF-based weather-bitching deadline was 10:47 yesterday evening. By not bitching before the deadline, you not only forfeited your right to bitch in solidarity with us, but now the bad weather is ALL YOUR FAULT.

The fact that the deadline is almost exactly the same precise moment at which you blamed me for your imminent bacon woes is purely coincidental, I assure you.

What is even happening?

For infants, they have to put the barium in there via a tube.

Oh, that makes sense, actually. I'm sorry.

This Friday. I'm calmer now and I'm going to call the office in a few minutes and ask to speak to a nurse of the office manager. I'll voice my concerns with the procedure to the nurse and make sure she leaves a note for the doc and to have him call me first thing in the morning. If it's the office manager, I'll be sure to tell her/him that they need to better coordinate communications so they don't freak a parent out without having access to the doctor.

Good for you!

Aidan had to have an upper GI, didn't he? I really want to talk to Deena to see how bad it really is.

I can't remember, but he probably did, because he has digestion issues.

upper GI as opposed to lower is a scope - and they may be using the scope to see how the vavle is behaving

Okay. I was misremembering from my days coding the charge master at the hospital. Upper GI is fluoroscopy.

Cashmere, if it helps, I don't think it is supposed to be painful. It will probably be uncomfortable and the restraints will not be happy making for her, but I don't think it will hurt her, physically. One thing you might want to ask tomorrow is how long it typically takes to perform, so, if you decide to let her have it, you can be prepared.

If you're not sure, after you talk to your pedi, ask him what type of specialist you should talk to, to get a second opinion.

Please note that unlike your husband DavidS "Spikes Bitches 29: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure." Apr 4, 2006 9:19:14 am PDT and SuziQ, SuziQ "Spikes Bitches 29: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure." Apr 4, 2006 9:01:41 am PDT, I did not actually bitch about the weather after 10:47 p.m., I simply asked if it was too late to do so.

It's really not very nice of you to blame things like that on your DH.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

If the rain was going to stop - I might agree that there is an allowed complaint time. however , since it looks like it might only pause on Thursday, I say bright on the complaints.

move out and draw fire

David being called Rachel cracks me up, because I remember coming home in tears from one of the series of Sunday schools I was sent to, crying because some boy had kept telling me Rachel was a boy's name.

Yay Jen!

Cash, health-ma and calm-ma.
