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.
Hey, he has a long and colorful history in my fair city. For real. He was on City Council back in the day ("the day" being the 1970s) and got busted for patronizing a hooker. HOW did he get busted, you ask? He paid with a check. No, seriously. You can look it up. So he resigned. And then, a few years later, was re-elected. As mayor. Seriously
Well MY former mayor got busted with a hooker AND COKE, and got reelected! He's still serving on the city council!!

I had a boyfriend who was verbally abusive. Actually abusive. And it wasn't the obvious thing to walk away
Yeah, I can see how it would be a hell of a lot more...confusing? for it to not be physical. Like, I can easily say "You hit me, I'm the fuck OUTTA there". But verbal/emotional abuse can be a lot harder to grok.
If you think you did badly, I think you have an option to not have it scored, at the end, though I don't know that I would take that option.
I was worried, when I did mine, and almost considered it, but I did FINE. You, too, will do fine!
I just culled my shoe wardrobe to 15 pairs total.
! I can't even imagine. I mean...damn. I have several pairs that I don't wear very often, I admit, but they go with specific outfits or occasions (like my interview suit)
While packing books, stop to read bits from ones you haven't looked at in a while. Suddenly realize you've spent an entire evening not packing like you said you were going to
This is ALWAYS a step in my moving plan

I think this is exactly how my brain worked at the time. He didn't hit me so it was a way tougher call for me to make at the time. It took a while to grok and then it was really, really clear.

Shockingly? I have a couple of those pairs as well. I just ... don't get the shoe thing. I am damaged goods.
All right, damn it to hell, I can't figure out if this is just my creaky and increasingly wonky body, or if it's a side effect of the Cipro, but my back has been aching unbearably for about 5 hours. Not my lower back, but the area between where the waistband of pants (not low-rise) sit and the bottom of my boobs.
The thing with drug side effects is that someone, *somewhere*, at some point in time, has experienced every damn thing you can think of as a side effect of Drug X. And so "back pain" is listed as a reported side effect of Cipro. But I don't know if that's what this is, or not.
And I'm whining about it to my invisible friends because it won't go away -- I can't get comfortable, and it's not a back pain I'm familiar with (it's too high up), and I want to go to sleep but my back hurts too much to sleep.
This is when I'm seriously considering pulling out the percocet I have squirrelled away from my surgery. Bah.
Man, I hate the not knowing. I mean, you hurt no matter but it's just the need to know why and then know if there is jack shit you can do about it...
it's not a back pain I'm familiar with
Did you maybe pull a muscle?

Oh! so cute! Cute kitty!
Also So Damn Cute: Emmett! Favid! JZ! YOu guys look like you're havinf so much fun. Go, Team Zmayhem!
Also? JZ's bro? Quite cute! Is the gay one, no? Darn.
Tep. maybe take half a Perc and a hot shower?
Erin, I was actually thinking that, only in reverse order -- a hot shower, and then if my back still aches, hit the drugs. Maybe just ibuprofen.
It could be a pulled muscle. I don't know what I would have done to pull it, but sometimes all a person has to do is sneeze to pull a muscle. Though I don't remember sneezing...
I've heard that the Hello Kitty poptarts taste *horrible.*
Yeah, but Powerpuff Girls oreos weren't bad....
I have strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries, and have sprinkled sugar on them....and baked an angel food cake. Except I don't actually have a big bundt pan. Only mini ones. I made 7 little cakes, and then gave up and threw out the rest of the batter.
