Oh, JZ--can you send me your address?
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Really, really don't want to eat up all my sick leave and FMLA disability before I have an actual outside-my-body 3D baby.
I thought the bedrest was completely different from your FMLA? Or someone here mentioned it--Aimee, maybe?
Glad you had a good shower, JZ. I can't wait to see pictures.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I can't wait to see pictures.
There are some delightfully precious ones of JZ and her prezzies.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I thought the bedrest was completely different from your FMLA?
If so, that'd be keen. Though it still doesn't ease the problem of wanting to chew my own arm off from the tedium.
ita, insent.
P-C, there were some awfully precious prezzies. In consideration of which, someone needs to get Pete and Fay on a conference call and tape some Eeyore/Piglet conversations so we can act them out with our BRAND NEW FINGER PUPPETS.

Can't help you there. Sorry.
Does anyone know how to cook some snow crab legs? I bought some today and I want to cook them for dinner tomorrow night. Is steaming best (and can I do that in the microwave)? Or should I broil them? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Blergh. Really, really don't want to eat up all my sick leave and FMLA disability before I have an actual outside-my-body 3D baby.
JZ - it is completely different. There is the California Pregnancy Disability Act that alloq\ws for you to get up to 16 weeks leave for complications due to pregnancy. Using that does NOT eat into your FMLA time.

Also, if you don't use the whole 16 weeks of that, you can use what you haven't so far IN ADDITION to the 12 regular maternity leave.

They're usually pre-cooked, so you're just heating them up. I like the oven or a broiler because they're easier to break open. I have microwaved them when in need of immediate gratification.

JZ looked so wonderful today, as always. It was such a pleasure visiting with everyone.
K-Bug and I are going to have fun decorating the onsies we brought with us. I love injet iron on transfers!

Drew is really, really sick. He's also completely fucked up his back to the point that he's only sleeping about two hours at a time before it completely seizes up and wakes him in agonizing pain. If he's seemed crabby today, that's why.
I've made him soup and a sandwich, given him more cold meds and painkillers, and put him to bed. I don't think it's helping much. He's miserable.
