ita, re: tea... I always understood tea to be a diuretic, though to be fair I don't know if that's because of the caffiene content or just because of the tea itself.

This post has little value, so I will pad it by saying that I'm having an orange AIFG.

See, I don't think it was so much a "Stick up for me cause I DID wash my hands." than, "Hey, guy. Your friends are being assholes, and I'm letting you put it to me on a nightly basis. Say something." And I agree that she did create the situation by not being more assertive with them, but she is kinda the odd girl out. And also? Damn! that was a nice ass. WAY better than Izzy and Mere's flat things. Wish my ass looked like that in tanga panties.

I know they say that tea doesn't count when you're trying to hydrate--does that count for tisanes or decaf tea?

Tea is fine. Caffeine is a mild diuretic but studies have been unable to show that it actually dehydrates. The Institute of Medicine considers caffeinated drinks to be acceptable for hydration. [link] The abstract for the study is here: [link]

The ultimate album of Xmas music

clucked by a human chicken.

Ever!

How were people able to celebrate Christmas before this album?

Willow's hair was the best in season four.

That won't so much result in a kerfluffle as in people clucking at you in sympathy and edging away.

Willow's hair WAS the best in season 4! She had that cute flippy cut for college!

I don't remember clearly--how much of Izzie and Mere's cattiness did she actually see? It was weird that she didn't pull rank when Izzie scarpered--but that's all I remember her witnessing, aside from the startled looks in the bathroom. Also, I quite like Katherine Heigl's ass.

On GA I thought it was just bizarre that she would walk in and pee without a second thought, but couldn't bring herself to say "Excuse me" so she could get to the sink. I agree with Aimee about asking George to stick up for her, but at the same time, it's hard to work up much sympathy for her because the whole situation was so weird. And I have to say, the whole living in the boiler room thing really does strike me as just this side of completely whacko.

A human chicken?

Oops.

I don't think she saw that much of the cattiness as opposed to feeling the weridness when Izzie was around her.

But the weirdness is kinda expected, no? I mean I'd expect people I barely know to be put off by me peeing in front of them, yet not being willing to wash my hands in front of them. There are situations that are going to cause weirdness. That's certainly on the list.

If you have a UTI, don't drink caffeine...it's irritating.
