Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

[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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Still not loaded.

I want cheese on a stick.

Happy Marrying Day, Jars! (That's what the little girl I used to babysit for calls it)

I'm getting the pig!

Happy Birthday, Cashmere!

Happy Marriage Day, Jars!

We didn't quite get around to watching last night's ep of Grey's (we had some very interesting conversations, though) so we're getting ready to do that now. With nummy coffee.

Cass is a wonderful hostess and Portland is gorgeous. Which, really, no big surprise.

Because books.

vw, I like the second dress. The sleeves on the first one seem weirdly long.

Yeah. That's what I'm afraid of. And I have really short arms.

Pink Freud is cracking me up.

Indeed. So would you go with a cigar...or something else?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

vw, those wrap dresses are totally flattering to one's bosom and one's waist -- BUT they also drape close to the body.

Like, you know how an all-cotton button-down shirt wears differently -- almost stiffer, in a way -- than a silk shirt? That's what I mean.

Anyway, because of how they drape, they aren't forgiving to any curves that a person might consider excessive. Actually, that would include the bosom, if in fact one considered one's own bosom excessive. (See, I like my rack, so I love wrap shirts that are cut like the top of that dress, but since I have a buddha and a lot of junk in the trunk, I won't wear a wrap *dress* because it doesn't camouflage the way I would like.)

And I am so NOT implying that you have excessive curves! I just wanted to mention my own lovely intersection of body image demons and clingy wrap-style clothing.

You crack me up.

I am learning to embrace the curves. My dear Puertorrican friend and J have reminded me that they can be beautiful. I may change my mind after putting it on, but oh, well. I can send it back then. Or wear the Spanx, which are also my friend.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Happy Birthday, Cashmere!!

Happy Getting Married Day to Jars and (soon to be) DH!!

Yes, this. Very this.

Connie, was it you asking about remedies other than cranberry juice for your friend's UTI? My doc once told me I could take 2000mg of vitamin C in place of the cranberry. As for herbal remedies, I like olive leaf extract for infections in general, and uva ursi is supposed to be very good for the urinary tract.
